Abstract: A sub air chamber provided around outer circumferential surface of a well of a rim of a vehicle wheel includes an upper plate and a lower plate connected at edges thereof which are fitted into channels in first and second vertical wall surfaces formed on the rim. At least one of the upper plate and the bottom plate has orthogonally and diagonally aligned beads to vertical walls, extending in a circumferential direction of the wheel, supporting the sub air chamber, connecting parts locally connecting the upper plate and the bottom plate. The sub air chamber has a protruding part for communicating the sub air chamber with the tire air chamber and serves as a stopper of the sub air chamber.

Abstract: An airbag apparatus equipped with an airbag, a garnish, a hinge, a protector and a bracket fixed to a vehicle body. An upper side of the garnish is supported by the bracket via the hinge. An engaging part protruding from the lower part of a garnish main part is engaged with an engagement receiving part disposed at the protector. Normally, the engaging part is engaged with the engagement receiving part, thereby retaining the shape of the garnish. On expansion of the airbag, the airbag presses the engaging part, by which the engaging part is disengaged from the engagement receiving part, and the garnish is opened smoothly. The airbag can be covered with the garnish, thereby allowing the garnish to move smoothly on expansion of the airbag.

Abstract: An assist grip includes: a grip member to be gripped by a passenger, the grip member configured to be capable of being pulled out from a retraction position to a grip position; a base member which is fixed to the vehicle and which includes a rotation shaft; a rotation arm pivotally supported so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft from the retraction position to a pull-out position; retraction biasing element configured to always bias the rotation arm in a retraction direction; and a holding member configured to hold the rotation arm in the pull-out position against a biasing force of the retraction biasing element when the rotation arm is caused to rotate to the pull-out position. In the assist grip, the grip member is rotatably jointed to the rotation arm, and the grip member is provided with a release dog formed therein, the release dog configured to release the rotation arm from being held by the holding member as the grip member is rotated.
