ABSTRACT:
A bumper for an automobile or a similar vehicle which includes a tailgate structure and a mounting arrangement which enables the tailgate structure to pivot about an axis generally transverse of the vehicle at the rear thereof and at the lower edge portion of the tailgate so that in the event of an impact occurring on the bumper, such as might occur when a trailing vehicle hits the bumper, the tailgate structure will pivot downwardly in a yieldable manner to cushion the shock of the impact, reduce the damage to the vehicles and enhance the safety aspects of bumper structures. The tailgate structure includes tailgate support arms of generally J-shaped configuration associated with a housing and bracket structure as well as as a spring device and control arrangements by which the tailgate is capable of yieldable movement for cushioning the impact shock.
