ABSTRACT:
An assist grip handle assembly that may be snap-fit to the interior of a vehicle or other structure includes a damper assembly provided with the handle assembly that does not require the use of a pivot pin. The damper assembly of the invention easily snap-fits into the assist grip handle assembly and provides improved speed control of the rotational movement of the assist grip handle. With the present invention, no special tools are required to assemble the assist grip handle assembly as the components may be snap-fit together resulting in a less complex and cumbersome assembly.
