Abstract:
An assist grip of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, a grip body including hinge cavities on opposite bases and hinge assemblies pivotally supported inside the hinge cavities at opposite sides, respectively, and secured to mounting locations inside a vehicle via the hinge assemblies. Mounting clips are inserted into rectangular openings of hinge bodies of the hinge assemblies, respectively. Each of the mounting clips is formed by bending a pair of resilient legs having spring resiliency into a substantially U-shape, and includes resilient bulging portions bulging outward in the resilient legs at both sides. Each of the resilient bulging portions includes a retention portion to be retained by a mounting location of a vehicle body. The retention portion of the resilient bulging portion includes a recess portion that is recessed inward and provided with an extended region in a pull-out direction of the mounting clip.
