Abstract: The present invention relates to a door handle that tilts upward when a door is open initially, and after the tilting has been completed, is slowly returned to an initial state thereof through the resistance of a damper, so that even if a user's fingers are caught in a space between the door handle and the door, the door handle can protect the user's fingers from safety accidents.

Abstract: An assist mechanism, attachable to a frame, includes an assist bezel and an assist handle. The assist bezel has a clip attachable to the frame. A first arm and a second arm extend from the clip. A first hub is formed on the first arm and second hub is formed on the second arm. A twist-lock housing is defined in the assist handle, and includes a first receptacle configured to retain the first hub and a second receptacle configured to retain the second hub. The first hub of the assist bezel enters the first receptacle via a first ramp and the second hub enters the second receptacle via a second ramp. The assist handle is rotatable about the assist bezel between a plurality of positions.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An assist grip attachment structure in which an assist grip is attached to a vehicle body-side attachment portion, the assist grip is supported with prescribed rigidity by the vehicle body-side attachment portion when a tensile load in a direction in which the assist grip is pulled toward an inside of a vehicle cabin is applied to the assist grip, and an impact of a pressing load is absorbed through deformation of the vehicle body-side attachment portion when the pressing load is applied to the assist grip from the inside of the vehicle cabin.

Abstract: A grab handle assembly with integrated articulating hook is disclosed comprising base elements and a handle pivotal on the base elements between closed and an open positions. A pivot pin is fixed to the handle and pivotally supported on a base element. A hook is pivotally supported on the pivot pin and is movable between a stored and a deployed position. In one form a resilient finger on the hook coacts with surfaces on the pivot pin to provide resistance to movement of the hook between the stored and deployed positions. The pin is configured to provide varied resistance at different hook positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle grab handle (10) having a handle (12) and at least one bearing support (14) for attaching the vehicle grab handle (10) to a vehicle body, a bearing section (18) of the handle (12) being pivotally mounted to the bearing support (14), two shaft stubs (22, 24) being provided on the bearing support (14) which define a pivot axis (S) for the handle (12) and which can be shifted along the pivot axis (S) from an initial position to a connection position, and the shaft stubs (22, 24) coupling the handle (12) and the bearing support (14) to one another in the connection position.

Abstract: A dual member handle system and method of operating the same. The system includes a body, a first handle rotably attached to the body, and a second handle rotably attached to the body. The first handle is attached adjacent the second handle. The first handle rotates about a first axis and the second handle rotates about a second axis that is different from the first axis. The method includes rotating a first handle about a first axis and rotating a second handle, while rotating the first handle, about a second axis. The second axis is adjacent to and different from the first axis.

Abstract: A door handle includes a damper wherein a difference in torque changed according to a rotational direction becomes large. A rotor and a valve are completely separated and only the rotor rotates, so that it is possible to significantly reduce torque applied to the rotor. When the rotor and the valve are connected or separated, torque applied to the rotor is changed greatly. Accordingly, instead of gradually changing torque according to a rotational angle of the rotor, it is possible to set a specific point where torque is changed.

Abstract: A damping structure is formed of a base including at least one projecting portion having a shaft or a hole, and a first engaging portion; a rotating member including a first wall portion having the other of the hole or the shaft engaging the shaft or hole, a second wall portion facing the first wall portion to receive the projection therebetween so that when the first wall portion is supported by the projecting portion, a space is formed between the projecting portion and the second wall portion, and a second engaging portion; and a damper disposed in the space. The damper includes an inner shaft having a third engaging portion engaging the first or second engaging portion, and an outer shaft rotatably situated around the inner shaft to generate a damping force against a rotation of the inner shaft. The outer shaft has a fourth engaging portion engaging the first or second engaging portion to thereby provide a damping force to the rotating member.

Abstract: A wafer container is constructed to include a shell, a holder frame, two retaining blocks, and a handle. The shell has a coupling unit at the periphery. The retaining blocks are fastened to the holder frame, forming first pivot structure. The handle is provided with second pivot structure adapted for coupling to the first pivot structure for enabling the handle to be turned relative to the holder frame through an angle between the operative position convenient for carrying by hand, and the collapsed, non-operative position to minimize space occupation.
