Boarding and exiting handrail
A boarding and exiting handrail including: a base part provided near an entrance-and-exit of a vehicle so as to be rotatable with an axis oriented in an up-down direction; a handrail main part capable of being gripped by passengers boarding and exiting through the entrance-and-exit; and a rail part slidably holding a sliding member mounted on a sliding door that opens and closes the entrance-and-exit by moving along an outer wall surface of the vehicle. When the sliding door opens the entrance-and-exit, the boarding and exiting handrail assumes a deployed posture with the handrail main part and the rail part protruded toward the outside of the vehicle as seen from above, and when the sliding door closes the entrance-and-exit, the boarding and exiting handrail assumes a retracted posture with the handrail main part and the rail part disposed along the sliding door as seen from above.
Wheelchair-mounting vehicle
The disclosure provides a wheelchair-mounting vehicle including a handrail provided in a support shaft and switched between a used position and a stored position as the support shaft rotates, the used position being a position at which the handrail is arranged in a vicinity of a chest area of an occupant of a wheelchair, and the stored position being a position at which the handrail is arranged along a side wall of a vehicle cabin above the used position in the vehicle upper-lower direction. The support shaft in which the handrail for the occupant of the wheelchair in a forward posture is provided is arranged so as to be inclined upward to a front side in the vehicle front-rear direction in a side view.
Vehicle seats
Vehicle seats that includes: a pair of seatbacks of front seats spaced apart in a vehicle width direction; and a pair of retaining portions provided at rear face sides of the pair of seatbacks, the pair of retaining portions configured to allow a rod-shaped member to span between the seatbacks, the rod-shaped member being grippable by a vehicle occupant sitting at a rear seat middle.
HANDLE DEVICE FOR EMBARKING AND DISEMBARKING VEHICLE
A cover unit is disposed on both sides of a mounting plate that is coupled to a roof side of a vehicle, respectively. The cover unit includes a first movement guide and a second movement guide formed with movement paths and a guide frame unit that is disposed on the cover unit, respectively, and connected to each other, and sliding and moving along a guide rail provided on the mounting plate. AN angle adjustment unit has a mounting angle that is adjusted as the guide frame unit slides and moves and is coupled to be engaged with the guide frame unit. A handle unit is rotatably coupled to the guide frame unit, and has a drawn-out location and a drawn-out angle that is adjusted step by step by moving along the movement path to allow the angle adjustment unit to be selectively engaged with the guide frame unit.
Tailgate Ladder System
The Tailgate Ladder System (TRS) which is the only two stepped folding Tailgate Ladder in existence to date, that is comprised of a Ladder Casing, a rotating, aftermarket and sliding Tailgate Ladder, and a Three Point Rail. Together they form a climbing system which make accessing and climbing to an elevated Tailgate of a vehicle much easier. The Ladder Casing is recessed and it support and housed a closed Tailgate Ladder within its walls. The Tailgate Ladder is retractable, and has two folding Steps which open to give access to the climber, and close when not in use. The Three Point Rail is a flexible hand rail which give the climber a sturdy support. These three components of the TLS, combine to create a climbing system that is second to none, which give climbers a two stepped Ladder System, that with small steps, the rear of a pickup can be assessed.
Roof handle for vehicles
A roof handle for vehicles comprises a carrier which can be fixed to a vehicle roof and on which a handle body is pivotably mounted, and is pivotable between a holding position, in which a user exerts a substantially downwardly directed weight force on the handle body, and a starting position, in which the handle body is pivoted by a spring into a folded-up position with respect to the vehicle roof, the carrier comprising a molded body made of plastic on which at least one insert made of metal is provided, and the handle body being held on the insert made of metal via bearing elements. As a result, the roof handle can have a low dead weight and be optimally adapted to the geometry of a vehicle roof.
FOLDING VEHICLE TAILGATE ASSEMBLY
A vehicle tailgate assembly primarily for pick-up trucks comprises a frame with a transverse base and support arms extending perpendicularly therefrom adjacent distal ends of the base. A tailgate door is rotationally mounted to the frame between the support arms. The door comprises a transverse upper section rotationally joined to a transverse lower section at a rotational joint, preferably a hinge. A releasable locking mechanism, typically a latch or multiple latches, is located adjacent the rotational joint to releasably hold the upper section in relation to the lower section at selected orientations. An additional locking mechanism, also typically a latch or multiple latches, may selectively hold the lower section or both the lower section and the upper section to the support arms. The tailgate may also be provided with an extendible tailgate which may be rotated interiorly and exteriorly of the plane of the upper section. An extendible handle, stowable in the upper section or the lower section, may also be provided to support user entry and exit from a cargo hold of the pick-up truck.
Assist grip
An assist grip attached to an inside of a vehicle cabin of an automobile is provided with a grip main member including a pair of concave portions formed at both ends in a longitudinal direction, and a pair of groove portions formed at sections opposing in the longitudinal direction on respective peripheral walls of the concave portions; a hinge including a pair of upright portions housed in the concave portions, and separated by a predetermined interval, and a pair of round boss portions protruding from both outer sides of the upright portions, and formed to respectively pass through the pair of groove portions; a bearing concave portion provided in one groove portion and into which the round boss portion is inserted; and a stopper member preventing a disconnection from a state of rotational shaft insertion wherein the round boss portion is inserted into the bearing concave portion.
Grab handle bracket
An A-pillar grab handle attachment bracket configured to connect a grab handle to an A-pillar structure of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The bracket comprises a first flange, a second flange, and a body portion connecting the first and second flanges. The first flange is configured to couple to the grab handle and the second flange is configured to couple to the A-pillar structure of the motor vehicle. The first and second flanges are spaced apart and the body portion extends between the first and second flanges and at least partially defines a channel configured to receive an inflatable portion of a side air curtain bag of the motor vehicle, such that the inflatable portion of the airbag deploys through an open side of the channel between the first and second flanges.
ENTRANCE HANDRAIL
The handrail for getting on and off includes a rail portion for slidably holding one end portion of the link arm which expands and contracts with the movement of the slide door, and a handrail body configured to rotate integrally with the rail portion. When the slide door closes the entrance, the entrance handrail takes a retracted posture in which one end portion of the link arm is located at the other end portion of the rail part and the handrail body is arranged along the slide door. When the slide door opens the entrance, the entrance handrail takes a deployed posture in which one end portion of the link arm is positioned on one end portion side of the rail portion so that the rail portion and the handrail body protrude toward the outside of the vehicle.
