Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an assist grip for getting on and off a front seat that is attached to the upper part of a front pillar in a high-floor automobile such as a cab-over vehicle.

The mounting position of the assist grip for getting on and off the front seat on the front pillar of conventional cab-over vehicles, etc. is as high as possible, that is, near the intersection of the front pillar and the roof side, so as not to obstruct visibility when driving. Ta. For this reason,
The position of the assist grip is too high for people of short stature, making it difficult for them to sufficiently place their feet on the ground from outside the vehicle and grip the assist grip, and the assist grip cannot sufficiently assist in getting on and off the vehicle.

The object of this invention is to provide an assist grip for getting on and off a front seat, which can solve the above-mentioned problems without obstructing visibility during driving.

In the assist grip for getting on and off the front seat of this invention, the grip body made of a flexible material is supported at one end by a fixed shaft and at the other end by a movable shaft that slides in a vertical guide groove. A spring material is disposed between the grip body and the door body, and the moving shaft and the door body are connected by a wire, and each wire resists the spring force of the spring material when the door is opened. The above-mentioned object is achieved by a structure that is made to be in a tensioned state in the direction of the door and to be in a relaxed state when the door is closed.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to figures.

As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the front pillar 1 is positioned so that even short people can sufficiently touch the ground and grasp it.
An assist grip is attached to the upper end of the handle.

The grip main body 2 is made of flexible material such as soft PVC or polyurethane. The lower end of the grip body 2 is pivotally supported by a fixed shaft 3, and the upper end is pivotally supported by a moving shaft 4. Movement axis 4 is front pillar 1
A compression coil spring (spring material) 6 is arranged between the movable shaft 4 and the fixed shaft 5 to bias the grip main body 2 substantially linearly. It is set up. The moving shaft 4 and the door body 11 are connected by a wire 7. Specifically, a wire 7 whose one end is fixed to the moving shaft 4
is guided through the front pillar 1 by rollers 12 and 13, led out from the lower end through the through hole 1a, and the other end is fixed to the lower end of the rotating contact surface of the door body 11. Then, as the door is opened and closed, the wire 7 becomes tensed and loosened, respectively (see FIG. 4). In the illustrated example, 8 is a windshield, and 9 is a roof side rail.

In the above embodiment, when the door is opened, the wire 7
is pulled, the moving shaft 4 moves downward along the guide groove 5 against the spring force of the compression coil spring 6, and the first
As shown in the figure, since the grip main body 2 forms a loop, it is possible to easily get on and off the front seat by grasping the assist grip. Also, when the door is closed after getting on and off, the wire 7 loosens and the moving shaft 4 is moved by the coil spring 6.
It moves upward along the guide groove 5 by the return force of
As shown in the figure, the grip main body 2 is on a substantially straight line and fits within the width of the front pillar 1, so it does not obstruct visibility during driving.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the grip body 2
Although the upper and lower ends of the grip main body 2 are pivoted to the moving shaft 4 and the fixed shaft 3 in order to facilitate the mutual transition between the linear state and the loop state, it is not necessary that they be pivoted, and they may be fixed. . Further, instead of the compression coil spring 6 that connects the fixed shaft 3 and the moving shaft 4, a spring material may be embedded in the grip body and the spring force may be utilized. In this case as well, when the door is opened, the moving shaft 4 is pulled downward by a wire to form a loop in the grip body 2, and when the door is closed, the wire is loosened so that the grip body 2 becomes approximately straight. Furthermore, the vertical relationship between the fixed shaft 3 and the moving shaft 4 may be reversed.

The assist grip for getting on and off the front seat of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, so it becomes substantially straight when driving (when the door is closed) and does not obstruct the view, and when getting on and off (when the door is open) it becomes loop-shaped and can be gripped. Therefore,
The assist grip can be attached to the front pillar at a position that can be easily used even by short people.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] In an assist grip for getting on and off the front seat that is attached to the upper part of the front pillar, the grip body made of a flexible material has one end along a fixed axis and the other end along the axial direction of the front pillar. each is supported by a movable shaft that slides in a guide groove, and a spring member is disposed between the fixed shaft and the movable shaft to bias the grip body substantially linearly, and the movable shaft and the door body are connected by wire,
An assist grip for getting on and off a front seat, characterized in that each of the wires is in a tensioned state in a direction opposing the spring force of the spring material when the door is opened, and is in a relaxed state when the door is closed.
