A hand pole and socket arrangement (1) for use in a passenger service vehicle includes a hand pole (3) having a first end (2) and a first socket (4) for fitting to a passenger vehicle and for receiving the first end of the hand pole. The first end (2) of the hand pole and the first socket (4) are formed and arranged to prevent rotation of the hand pole relative to the socket when they are fitted together. A passenger service vehicle including the hand pole and socket arrangement (1) is also provided.

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.

A vehicle bracket assembly includes first and second platforms each including a body and connectors that extend from each of the bodies. A central base is disposed between the first and second platforms and are coupled to the first and second platforms via the connectors. First and second connecting legs are coupled to the body of each of the first and second platforms, respectively. A first attachment base is coupled to the first platform via the first connecting legs. A second attachment base includes a locating tab. The second attachment base is coupled to the second platform via the second connecting legs.

An assist handle assembly for a vehicle is provided that includes an assist handle configured to be gripped by a user, a releasable connector configured to secure the assist handle assembly to a structural component of the vehicle, the connector comprising a fastener having a key surface, a storage compartment provided in the assist handle, and an assembly tool for engaging the key surface of the fastener during assembly and disassembly of the connector from the structural component of the vehicle, wherein the assembly tool is stored in the storage compartment.

Apparatus for covering at least a portion of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a flexible top; a first extension member extending from the flexible top, the first extension member adapted for attaching the flexible top to the vehicle; a second extension member extending from the flexible top, the second extension member adapted for attaching the flexible top to the vehicle; and a handle having a first handle end and a second handle end, the first handle end coupled to the flexible top, and the second handle end adapted to be coupled to the vehicle.

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 vehicle cabin structure includes a vehicle cabin and a handrail having an inverted U-shape and including an upper portion extending in a width direction of a vehicle along a ceiling surface of the vehicle cabin, and right and left vertical portions connected to both ends of the upper portion and extending downward along right and left side surfaces of the vehicle cabin from the respective ends of the upper portion, in which the right and left vertical portions of the handrail are fixed to the right and left side surfaces of the vehicle cabin, respectively.

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.
