ABSTRACT:
A hand grip for pivotal attachment to a surface of a body, as on a vehicle. The hand grip has a U-shaped grip body with a web joining two arms. The free end of each arm is attached on a bearing pin. The bearing pin is swingably mounted on a bearing bracket so that the grip pivots around the axis of the bearing pin with respect to the bracket. A torsion spring normally returns the grip to a position of non-use. To prevent excessive impact and resulting noise upon the return movement, a friction brake, consisting of a molding of a wear resistant viscoelastic plastic material, has a bore which receives an axial region of the bearing pin. The bore diameter is smaller than that of the bearing pin or least is of a size that permits relative movement between the molding and the bearing pin while braking the movement of the bearing pin with respect to the bracket, for slowing the return of the grip to the non-use position.
