Abstract

A bumper stopper installed on the shock absorber of a vehicle to respond to the impact of a cylinder lifting or lowering in the vertical direction depending on the running state of the vehicle. The bumper stopper is constructed such that a cylindrical dust cover having an opening formed at the lower end thereof is connected to a buffer member formed of peaks and troughs. The buffer member has a through hole through which a cylinder and rod of a shock absorber passes via a connection plate so that the buffer member and the dust cover are integrated with each other. It prevents air from being compressed inside the buffer member, thereby preventing component damage due to high pressure. Also, it prevents abnormal noise from occurring in the process of contact and separation between the cylinder and the connection plate, thereby providing improved ride comfort.

Claims (6)

1. A cylindrical dust cover assembled bumper stopper, comprising:

the cylindrical dust cover having an opening formed at a lower end thereof being connected to a buffer member formed of a combination of peaks and troughs, the buffer member having a through hole, through which a cylinder and rod of a shock absorber passes, by means of a connection plate so that the buffer member and the cylindrical dust cover are integrated with each other;

a plurality of linear reinforcement protrusions formed on an upper surface of the connection plate extending radially from a first boundary point with respect to the buffer member to a second boundary point with respect to the dust cover;

a plurality of ring-shaped connection protrusions formed in a center on the upper surface of the connection plate connecting said plurality of linear reinforcement protrusions;

an exhaust groove formed on inside of each linear reinforcement protrusion recessing upwards; and

a connection groove formed on inside of each ring-shaped connection protrusion depressing upwards, so that respective exhaust grooves communicate with each other by the connection grooves.
