Assist grip assembly (100) includes a user handle (102) and an object hook (104) movably coupled to each other. The object hook (104) and the user handle (102) may be movably coupled to one another through a pivot-control mechanism. The user handle (102) and the object hook (104) are capable of moving together and capable of moving independently with respect to one another.

An assembly for mounting or dismounting a vehicle comprising a step that is structured to slide on an axis longitudinally along the vehicle on a rail. The step has a pivot assembly enabling rotation from a stowed position to open position and back. The slidable step can be stowed in place by engaging a latch mounted to the vehicle. A handrail assembly can be inserted into a handrail-receiving member to facilitate grasping a handrail upon mounting or dismounting the vehicle.

Apparatus and methods for assisting a user to enter a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a coupler for coupling to a vehicle's grab handle and a handle for a user to grasp and pull themselves up by. The handle is coupled to the coupler. The handle includes a gripping portion, wherein the gripping portion is shaped and sized for grasping by a user. A coupling portion is coupled to the gripping portion, wherein the coupling portion is for coupling the handle to the coupler. The coupler may include a first piece for fitting around the grab handle, where the first piece includes a bearing surface for bearing against the grab handle when being used by the user. The coupler may also include an attachment piece for attaching each end of the first piece to and for coupling to the handle.

An assembly for providing a fastening possibility for a vehicle component to a body component is configured as a torsion clip and includes a connecting element and a retaining element. The assembly is transferable from a pre-assembly or delivery state into a prefixation state, wherein, in order to transfer the assembly from its pre-assembly or delivery state into its pre-fixation state, a torque is exerted on the retaining element in such a way that the retaining element is twisted relative to the connecting element in order to enable passage of a retaining region of the retaining element through a fastening opening of the body component.

A support rail bracket includes a base. A securement portion is coupled to the base and configured to secure an end section of a support rail, which is graspable for support. A deformable portion is coupled to and extends between the base and the securement portion. The deformable portion is configured to resist movement of the end section in a first direction and deform to allow movement of the end section in a second direction that is approximately opposite the first direction.

This application discloses a barrier-free auxiliary riding device including a supporting frame rod disposed in a vacant area, a backrest assembly and a handrail assembly. The supporting frame rod is fixedly disposed in a carriage located on one side of the vacant area, the backrest assembly is disposed on the supporting frame rod, the handrail assembly includes a mounting base and a guard bar. According to this application, the position, directly facing the passenger get-off door, of the carriage is set as the vacant area to facilitate the riding of disabled passengers, meanwhile, the handrail assembly is disposed in the vacant area to protect the disabled passengers, and the backrest assembly is disposed for the disabled passengers to lean against, so that the riding safety of the disabled passengers is guaranteed.

A vehicle assist handle is formed so that a guide block is mounted on a surface of a headliner on which the assist handle is mounted and which is fixedly fitted into or separated from the guide block in a sliding manner to be used for other purposes by separating the assist handle from the surface of the headliner. The vehicle assist handle may be pushed in a direction parallel to the surface of the headliner to be assembled or separated when slidably guided to the guide block. The guide block can support a weight of an occupant applied to the assist handle. The vehicle assist handle can be used safely and conveniently. In addition, as a sunglass case, a storage case, or a rack may be fixedly coupled to the guide block in the sliding manner.

According to some embodiments, an assembly configured to be removably secured to an exposed structural component of a vehicle (e.g., a rollbar) comprises a cover assembly configured to secure to the exposed structural component of the vehicle, a hand grip configured to pass through at least a portion of the cover assembly and hand below the cover assembly, wherein the hand grip is configured to be grasped by a user, and at least one tool-receiving member configured to secure to the cover assembly.
