Abstract

A combination grab handle and garment hook assembly comprises a base slidably coupled to an interior trim panel of a vehicle and an elongated handle. A
pivot mechanism pivotally couples the handle to the base for providing rotational movement of the handle relative to the base along a plane generally parallel to the base between a stowed position and a deployed position projecting into the interior of the vehicle. In the stowed position, the handle may be used as a grab handle to support a passenger within the vehicle and in the deployed position, the handle may be used as a garment hook for supporting a larger capacity of garments inwardly of the interior trim panel. The assembly further includes a locking mechanism for locking the handle in each of the stowed and deployed positions.
Still further, the assembly includes a track system for sliding the base along trim panel and providing a variety of positions of the assembly within the interior of the vehicle.
