Disclosed are an assist grip and a vehicle including the same. The assist grip includes a fixing part coupled to an interior of a vehicle, a grip part including a radar member that senses whether an object is present within a close distance, and connected to the fixing part to be rotatable, and a connection part connecting the grip part to the fixing part such that the grip part is rotatable.

The present invention relates generally to an extendible and retractable hand hold device for use on golf carts and other transportation vehicles by children and smaller adults to add increased stability and safety. The extendable and retractable hand hold device is securely mounted to the roof of a typical golf cart. The hand hold device has a graspable handle on one end, a length-adjustable shaft and a hinge on the other end. The hinged end is further connected to a mounting plate for securing the device to the roof of the cart. The device is rotatable downward from a stored position where it is flat along the underside of the roof, to an in-use position where it is extending downwardly from the roof to a position that is reachable by any size golf cart user or occupant.

The present disclosure relates to a retractable handrail arrangement (100) arranged for assisting a vehicle operator during entry and/or exit of a vehicle, the retractable handrail arrangement (100) comprising a grab handle (102) comprising an elongated upper grab handle portion (104) and a lower grab handle portion (106), the lower grab handle portion (106) being movable along at least a portion of the elongated upper grab handle portion (104); a reciprocating connecting element (108) comprising a first portion (110) fixedly connected to the elongated upper grab handle portion (104), and a second portion (112) comprising an upper hinge portion (114), the upper hinge portion (114) being rotatably connectable to a stationary portion of the vehicle; and a first rotatable connecting element (120) comprising a grab handle connecting portion (122) rotatably connected to the lower grab handle portion (106), and an inner connecting portion (124) comprising a lower hinge portion (126), the lower hinge portion (126) being rotatably connectable to a stationary portion of the vehicle.

A commuter safety strap apparatus may serve as personal protection equipment for a user of public transportation vehicles. The apparatus may be portable, and may be removably installed on a safety rail of a public transportation vehicle or other structure when needed. The commuter safety strap apparatus may enable use of an unsanitized safety rail without touching it, to provide stability while the public transportation vehicle is in movement, so that the user may enjoy the ride to work, back home, or to another location.

An entrance handrail includes: a base portion provided proximal to an entrance opening of a vehicle so as to be turnable; a handrail body that extends from the base portion; and a rail portion that extends from the base portion and that holds a second end portion of a link arm such that the second end portion is slidable. A first end portion of the link arm is turnably attached to a slide door that is movable along an outer wall surface of the vehicle to open and close the entrance opening. The handrail body and the rail portion project outward of the vehicle when the slide door opens the entrance opening. The handrail body and the rail portion are disposed to extend along the slide door when the slide door closes the entrance opening.

Groove formation portions that define insertion grooves are located in two opposing inner sides of an opening of a main cover. Engagement shafts are located on side portions of the sub-cover that oppose the inner sides. The engagement shafts are insertable into the insertion grooves from an outside and have a thickness that is larger than a groove width of the insertion grooves. The groove formation portions are elastic and deformable to allow insertion of the engagement shafts when the engagement shafts are inserted from the outside. The groove formation portions elastically return to their original forms after insertion of the engagement shafts to engage the engagement shafts and restrict separation of the engagement shafts in a reverse direction. The groove formation portions support the sub-cover to allow the sub-cover to open while engaged with the engagement shafts.

A door assembly includes a door frame, which generally defines a door opening. An assist handle is movably attached to the door frame. The assist handle is movable between a retracted position, proximal to the door frame, and a deployed position, distal from the door frame.

An assist handle assembly includes a bracket, and a handle. The bracket includes a tubular portion concentric with and extending along a vertical axis. The handle includes a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The vertical portion is partially disposed within and supported by the tubular portion, and is concentric with and extends along the vertical axis. The horizontal portion extends from an upper end of the vertical portion in a direction that is transverse to the vertical axis. The handle is rotatable about the vertical axis between a stowed position and an intermediate position, and is slideable axially along the vertical axis within the tubular portion of the bracket, between the intermediate position and a deployed position. A latching mechanism secures the handle relative to the bracket when in the deployed position.

A variable handle device for getting on and off a vehicle includes a grip body assembly installed to a vehicle body of a vehicle, the grip body assembly configured to be rotated and protruded to an outside of the vehicle body when a door is opened and to be pushed by the door to return to an inside of the vehicle body when the door is closed, a grip body rotation mechanism configured to generate a driving force for rotating the grip body assembly to the outside of the vehicle body when the grip body assembly returns to the inside of the vehicle body, and a grip handle assembled slidably to an outside surface of the grip body assembly along the grip body assembly.

A handle assembly for a vehicle includes a rail. The rail includes retention flanges that each define a channel. A handle is disposed within the channel and is operably coupled to the rail. The handle includes a body that defines a grasping portion and at least one attachment end. A latch feature is operably coupled to the at least one attachment end of the handle. The latch feature includes a retention member that is coupled to a pivot feature. The latch feature also includes a lever. A cable is operably coupled to the lever of the latch feature and is configured to translate the latch feature between an engaged position and a retracted position.
