Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the effective use of a grip body when not in use by splitting the grip body to be gripped into a grip bar fitted to a wall of a cabin and a hanger which is connected to the grip bar, and converted in the developed conditon in which clothes can be suspended and in the stored condition capable of being gripped. SOLUTION: A holding plate 11 which prevents the excessive movement of a stopper 5b to lock an extension bar is screwed to each outer end part of a grip bar 2, and when the extension bar 5 is moved to the outer end, the stopper 5b abuts on the holding plate 11 to lock the extension bar 5 at the outer end. When a hanger body 4 is turned downward against the magnetic force of a magnet in a condition where the hanger body 4 is lapped in the grip bar 2 and stored, the hanger body 4 is suspended by the grip bar 2 and converted in the developed condition, enabling the suspension of clothes for children. When the extension bars 5 are pulled outwardly, the effective length of the hanger 3 can be extended, and the hanger is converted in the condition where clothes for adults can be suspended.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assist grip for a vehicle mounted on a wall of a vehicle cabin for protecting a vehicle occupant.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, an assist grip gripped by an occupant in a front passenger seat or a rear seat of a vehicle to protect the occupant is provided at both ends of a grip body 50 at a wall surface above a door 51. 52 is screwed to the clip 53
It is assembled to the wall surface 52 in a state covered by.

[0003]

The assist grip is gripped by the occupant in the front passenger seat and the rear seat occupant while the vehicle is running, but is unnecessary when the occupant is not in the front passenger seat or the rear seat. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to add a clothes hanging function to an assist grip and to effectively utilize the assist grip when the assist grip is not used.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an assist grip for a vehicle, in which a grip body gripped by an occupant is connected to a gripping bar attached to a wall surface of a passenger compartment, and the gripping bar is connected to clothes. Is divided into a hanger which is converted into a deployed state in which it can be suspended and a storage state in which it can be gripped.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the stored hanger connected to the grip bar of the grip body is deployed when not in use, the hanger is converted into a state in which clothes or the like can be hung.

According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided an assist grip for a vehicle according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein an extension bar for extending and contracting an effective length of the hanger is moved in a longitudinal direction on a hanger body rotatably connected to a grip bar. It is characterized by being connected as much as possible.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the effective length of the entire hanger is adjusted to the length corresponding to the size of the clothes to be suspended by moving the extension bar connected to the hanger body of the hanger in the longitudinal direction. Can be.

[0008]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
4 will be described with reference to FIG. The assist grip A is mounted on a wall surface B near the ceiling of the vehicle compartment for the purpose of protecting an occupant sitting in a passenger seat or a rear seat of the vehicle.

In the grip body 1 of the assist grip A gripped by the occupant's hand, both ends of the grip bar 2 are fastened to the vicinity of the upper end of a pillar of the vehicle body by bolts 6, and the fastening portion is covered and hidden by a clip 7. It is installed along the front and rear direction in a state where it is placed. The gripping bar 2 has a clothes hanging function for hanging clothes, and a hanger 3 that can be divided into an unfolded state in which clothes can be hung and a stowed storage state in which clothes can be held.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the hanger body 4 of the hanger 3 is formed in a semicircular shape whose front shape is curved in an arc shape and whose cross-sectional shape is substantially equal to the cross-sectional shape of the grip bar 2. The bar 2 is connected to the center of the bar 2 by a hinge 8 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, a magnet 9 for attaching the hanger body 4 to the lower surface of the grip bar 2 by magnetic force and holding the hanger body 4 in a state of being stored in a state of being superposed on the grip bar 2 is attached. A metal plate 10 that can be magnetically attached to the magnet 9 is attached to the surface.

As shown in FIG. 3, near both outer ends of the hanger main body 4, the hanger 3 is converted into a state of being pulled out of the hanger main body 4 and a state of being stored in the hanger main body 4, and Dumbbell-shaped extension rods 5 which expand and contract with an effective length according to the size of clothes are connected to each other so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction.

At the outer ends of the two extension rods 5, slip stoppers 5a formed into a spherical shape with an elastic material such as rubber are formed for the purpose of preventing clothes from slipping down.

At the inner ends of both extension rods 5, spherical stoppers 5b slidably fitted into grooves 4a formed near the outer end of the hanger body 4 are formed, respectively. 2 can be pulled out from the outer end without any notice.

As shown in FIG. 3, at both outer ends of the grip bar 2, holding plates 11 for preventing the stopper 5b from moving excessively and retaining the extension bar 5 are screwed, and the extension bar 5 is attached to the outside. When the extension rod 5 is moved to the advanced end, the stopper 5b abuts on the presser plate 11, and the extension rod 5 is prevented from falling off at the advanced end.

When the hanger body 4 is turned downward against the magnetic force of the magnet 9 in a state where the hanger body 4 is superimposed and stored on the grip bar 2, the hanger body 4 is suspended and supported by the grip bar 2 and deployed. The state is converted into a state in which the clothes for children can be suspended.

In this state, when the extension rods 5 are pulled out, the effective length of the hanger 3 can be extended.
This is converted into a state in which clothes for adults and the like can be suspended.

However, the entire hanger 3 may be formed of a soft synthetic resin material without the extension rod 5.

According to the above-described embodiment, the assist grip A which is not used by the occupant and is not in use can be effectively used as a clothes hanger. Function can be enhanced.

Further, since the extension bar 5 is connected to the hanger body 4, the size of the hanger 3 can be adjusted to a size suitable for hanging clothes of various sizes, and clothes of various sizes can be adjusted. Can be hung in an appropriate state.

[0021]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a non-use assist grip that is not used by an occupant can be effectively used as a clothes hanger. Function can be enhanced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the size of the hanger of the assist grip can be adjusted to a size suitable for hanging clothes of various sizes, so that the clothes of various sizes can be adjusted to an appropriate state. Can be hung.
