Thereby, the pull handle 5 is joined to the bracket 6 and thus connected to the door panel 2.

[0041] (Weakening structure of the pull handle) When a load F in the vehicle width direction shown in Fig. 1(A) is applied to the pull handle 5 with the above-described configuration and the occupant hits it during a side collision, the pull handle 5 has a structure that is easily crushed. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the bottom wall portion 30a of the pull handle core material 30 is slightly bent in the vehicle width direction, and is slightly inclined so that the vehicle interior side portion and the vehicle exterior side portion are convex downward. As shown in Fig. 6(A), an R portion 39 extending in the vehicle length direction is formed at the intersection of the vehicle interior side portion and the vehicle exterior side portion on the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 30a. The R portion 39 forms a curved surface that slightly curves as it proceeds in the vehicle width direction. The R portion 39 may be formed on the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 30a, or may be formed on both the upper and lower surfaces. This R portion 39 can serve as a trigger for the bottom wall portion 30a to fold in the vehicle width direction during a side collision.

[0042] Also, as shown in Fig. 6, a thin portion 50 that connects from the mounting seat portion 38 to the edge of the bottom wall portion 30a is formed on the bottom wall portion 30a. The thin portion 50 is formed so as to cut the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 30a, and may have thin portions 51, 55 extending along the vehicle length direction and thin portions 52, 53, 54 extending along the vehicle width direction. The thin portion 50 may be formed so as to cut the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 30a.

[0043] One end of the thin portion 51 is connected to the relief hole 38x on the front side of the mounting seat portion 38. The thin portion 51 extends from that one end toward the front of the vehicle, and is slightly inclined toward the vehicle interior side as it proceeds forward. The thin portion 51 extends to the front of the most front engaging hole 31 in the vehicle length direction and extends to a position beyond the R portion 39 in the vehicle width direction.

[0044] One end of the thin portion 52 is connected to the other end of the thin portion 51. The thin portion 52 extends from that one end toward the vehicle interior side, and is slightly inclined toward the front of the vehicle as it proceeds toward the vehicle interior side. The other end of the thin portion 52 is connected to the most front engaging hole 31.

[0045] One end of the thin-walled portion 53 is connected to the middle portion of the thin-walled portion 51. The thin-walled portion 53 extends from one end thereof toward the passenger compartment side beyond the R portion 39, and the other end thereof is connected to the second engaging hole 31 from the front.

[0046] One end of the thin-walled portion 54 is connected to the cylindrical portion 38a on the passenger compartment side of the mounting seat portion 38. The thin-walled portion 54 extends from one end thereof toward the passenger compartment side beyond the R portion 39, and the other end thereof is connected to the rearmost engaging hole 31.

[0047] One end of the thin-walled portion 55 is connected to the relief hole 38x on the rear side of the mounting seat portion 38. The thin-walled portion 55 extends from one end thereof toward the rear of the vehicle, and is inclined toward the passenger compartment side as it advances rearward. The thin-walled portion 55 extends beyond the R portion 39 in the vehicle width direction, and the other end thereof is connected to the lower end of the relief hole 35 formed at the intersection of the rear portion of the support wall portion 30b and the bottom wall portion 30a.

[0048] A thin-walled portion 60 is formed on the rear portion of the support wall portion 30b so as to cut the rear surface of the support wall portion 30b, and may be formed so as to cut the front surface. The thin-walled portion 60 extends upward from the upper end of the relief hole 35 to the upper end of the support wall portion 30b.

[0049] (Effects of the present embodiment) According to the pull handle 5 having the above configuration, the thin-walled portion 50 formed in the bottom wall portion 30a can break during a side collision and serve as a trigger for the bottom wall portion 30a to collapse. The thin-walled portion 60 formed in the support wall portion 30b can break during a side collision and serve as a trigger for the support wall portion 30b to collapse. Since the thin-walled portion 50 is connected from the mounting seat portion 38 to the edge portion of the bottom wall portion 30a, the bottom wall portion 30a is weakened. Since the thin-walled portion 60 and the relief hole 35 are connected from the upper end to the lower end of the support wall portion 30b, the support wall portion 30b is weakened. In particular, the thin portions 51 and 55 lead to the relief holes 38x which are the weak portions of the mounting seat portion 38, the thin portions 52, 53, and 54 lead to the engagement holes 31 which are the weak portions of the bottom wall portion 30a, and the thin portion 55 leads to the relief hole 35 which is the weak portion of the intersection of the bottom wall portion 30a and the support wall portion 30b, whereby the bottom wall portion 30a is weakened. In the thin portion 50, the thin portions 51 and 55 extending along the vehicle length direction can serve as a trigger for folding in the vehicle width direction, and the thin portions 52, 53, and 54 extending along the vehicle width direction can serve as a trigger for folding in the vehicle length direction.

[0050] According to the above embodiment, the shock absorption performance of the pull handle 5 can be improved.
