摘要： A pivotable grab handle device is movable between a stowed position, which is positioned within a mating cavity formed in the main tailgate structure, and a deployed position that projects upwardly above the top surface of a lowered main tailgate structure. The grab handle device is mounted on a retainer bracket that is affixed to a pivot bracket mounted to the top surface of the lowered main tailgate structure. When pivotally raised into the deployed position, the grab handle allows a person using a supplemental tailgate assembly configured into a step function extending below the plane of the lowered main tailgate structure to be stabilized while climbing onto the cross member of the supplemental tailgate assembly and onto the top surface of the lowered main tailgate structure.

摘要： A pivotable grab handle device is movable between a stowed position, which is positioned against the main tailgate structure, and a deployed position that projects upwardly above the top surface of a lowered main tailgate structure. The grab handle device is mounted on a retainer bracket that is affixed to the top surface of the lowered main tailgate structure. The grab handle incorporates a spring-loaded latch mechanism that is cooperable with the pivot bracket when in the stowed position and cooperable with a striker plate mounted below the top surface of the main tailgate structure to fix the grab handle in the deployed position. A release lever projecting outwardly of the grab handle permits a retraction of the latch member to release the grab handle from either the pivot bracket or the striker plate to allow pivotal movement of the grab handle into the desired position.

摘要翻译： 可枢转的抓握手柄装置可以在靠近主尾门结构定位的收起位置和在降低的主尾门结构的顶表面上方向上突出的展开位置之间移动。 抓斗装置安装在固定在下部主后挡板结构的上表面上的保持架上。 抓斗具有弹簧加载的闩锁机构，该弹簧加载的闩锁机构在处于收起位置时与枢轴支架配合，并与安装在主尾门结构的顶表面下方的撞针板配合，以将抓斗手柄固定在展开位置。 从抓斗手柄向外突出的释放杆允许闩锁构件缩回，以从枢轴支架或撞击板释放抓斗手柄，以允许抓斗手柄枢转运动到所需位置。
