ABSTRACT:
An automobile decklid pop-up bumper for assembly with an apertured workpiece, such as the framework of an automobile engine compartment having an aperture and a helical internal marginal portion defined around the aperture, includes a housing with an enlarged end portion for engaging the automobile hood and a shank portion extending from the enlarged end portion adapted to be received through the aperture. The shank portion has a helical thread for threadingly engaging the helical marginal portion around the aperture when the bumper is assembled with the workpiece. The housing has an axial bore with a portion of reduced radius within the enlarged end portion. The portion of reduced radius defines a shoulder. Disposed within the axial bore is a plunger having an elongated cylindrical portion and a disk-like base, the elongated cylindrical portion extending through the portion of reduced radius and the disk-like base interfering with the shoulder to prevent the plunger from passing completely through the axial bore. Biasing means direct the elongated cylindrical portion out through the enlarged end portion of the housing, and enable the plunger to raise the hood by a slight amount when the hood latch mechanism is released.
