ADAPTER FOR A GRAB HANDLE IN THE INTERIOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

An adapter for a grab handle in the interior of a motor vehicle, having an attachment portion for attaching the adapter to a vehicle body frame and having a retaining portion, which in the mounted state of the adapter, extends starting from the attachment portion in the direction of the vehicle interior and has a region to which a grab handle can be attached, is characterized in that the retaining portion between the attachment portion and the region to which a grab handle can be attached has a plastic formation or a plurality of plastic formations, so that with the forming of a first predetermined buckling line, a bending strength of the retaining portion in a first direction, in which the adapter is typically stressed in an accident situation, is reduced relative to a bending strength in a second direction opposite the first direction.
