  • Patent number: 6415478
    Abstract: An attachment structure for attaching an assist grip to a vehicle body is provided wherein the assist grip has a contractible member formed integrally on its grip body such that the contractible member includes large-width portions and small-width portions. The large-width portions have a larger width than attachment holes of a ceiling base member and the vehicle body when the contractible member is in the normal state, but the width of the large-width portions may be reduced to be smaller than those of the attachment holes when the contractible member is contracted. The small-width portions have a smaller width than the attachment holes so as to be fitted in the holes. After fitting the contractible member into the attachment hole of the vehicle body, a lock pin is inserted into a space formed in the contractible member so as to restrict contraction of the contractible member.
