Abstract
A grab bar, which is particularly suitable for attachment to a cart, has open ends that are covered by end caps. The end caps include a retention feature that secures the end cap to the grab bar, and which prevents the grab bar from being detached from the cart. The end cap includes a plug portion that encloses the open end, with the plug portion defining an inner end face, an outer end face, and a peripheral wall surface extending between the inner and outer end faces. The end cap also includes an attachment arm that extends outwardly from the inner end face of the plug portion to a distal end. The retention feature is supported on a looped portion that is formed at the distal end of the attachment arm. The looped portion is resiliently movable to secure the end cap to the grab bar with the retention feature.
