ABSTRACT:
A hood overslam bumper for automobiles has an elastic member, which is mounted to a hood inner panel, and a spring-biased hollow cushion member which is mounted to the upper member of a chassis. The spring of the cushion member is selected from a compression coil spring, a pneumatic spring and a hydraulic spring. When a hood is slammed down, the hood is made to slowly close with the elastic member gradually compressing the spring-biased top wall of the hollow cushion member. Therefore, the hood overslam bumper of this invention effectively absorbs and reduces the slamming impact noises and vibrations occurring in the slamming of a hood, thus allowing a car to be almost completely free from such noises and vibrations.
