Abstract
In a pivot support portion of a hinge assembly of an assist grip, an outer support and an inner support are provided at a distance from each other. Between the inner support and the outer support, a double torsion spring stored in a spring case is inserted, and the grip body is biased toward a non-use position side by the double torsion spring. An opening is formed in a middle portion of the spring case. Legs at both sides of the double torsion spring are retained at the inside of the spring case. A middle leg of the double torsion spring projects from the opening of the spring case to be retained by a part of the grip body.
