Abstract
An assist handle includes a generally elongated C-shaped handle having opposed ends which include upwardly extending projections defining hooks for receiving hangers at each of the opposite ends. A pair of mounting brackets are provided for mounting in spaced relationship to the vehicle and for pivotally receiving the opposite ends of the handle for pivotally mounting the handle to a vehicle. In one embodiment, the mounting brackets are integrally formed in a concave handle receiving bezel.

A combined assist handle and hanger support for a vehicle comprising:
- an elongated, generally C-shaped handle having opposed ends and wherein each end includes a socket facing a first direction toward a vehicle on which said handle is installed;
- a pair of mounting brackets adapted to be mounted to a vehicle in spaced relationship, each of said brackets cooperating with one of said ends of said handle for pivotally mounting said handle to said spaced brackets;
- and
- wherein each of said ends of said handle integrally including hook-shaped projections extending generally orthogonal to the length of said handle, said projections defining a socket for receiving hangers when said handle is pivoted to a position substantially flush with the vehicle surface to which said brackets are mounted.
An assist handle for a vehicle comprising:
- an integrally molded elongated handle having opposite ends extending away from a central section, said opposite ends of said handle including upwardly extending projections defining sockets for receiving coat hangers therein;
- and
- means for pivotally mounting said handle to a vehicle.
A combined assist handle and hooks for a vehicle comprising:
- a handle having spaced-apart opposed ends, each including upwardly extending hooks defining sockets for receiving hangers therein;
- and
- a pair of mounting brackets adapted to be mounted to a vehicle in spaced relationship for pivotally mounting said handle to a vehicle such that said handle can be pivoted to a position in which a hanger is captured within said socket locks a hanger to said hook.
An assist handle for a vehicle comprising:
- an integrally molded, elongated, generally U-shaped handle having opposite ends extending away from a central section, at least one of said opposite ends of said handle including an upwardly extending projection with an inwardly extending tip for receiving coat hangers therein;
- and
- a bezel having a concave handle receiving center and a pair of spaced-apart mounting brackets for pivotally mounting said handle to said bezel.
A combined assist handle and storage member for a vehicle comprising:
- an elongated handle having opposed enlarged ends, wherein each end includes a socket facing a vehicle on which said handle is installed;
- a pair of mounting brackets adapted to be mounted to a vehicle in spaced relationship, said brackets extending within said sockets;
- pivot pins for pivotally mounting said ends of said handle to said brackets for rotation to selected positions;
- and
- wherein at least one of said ends of said handle includes a hook-shaped projection extending upwardly for storing objects thereon.
