Abstract
An automobile bumper for use on an automobile body has a thicker region having a relatively large wall thickness, a gradually varying region having a gradually varying wall thickness, and a thinner region having a relatively small wall thickness. The thicker region, the gradually varying region, and the thinner region are integrally formed with each other and arranged successively downwardly when mounted on the automobile body. The gradually varying region has a wall thickness reduced at a constant rate from the wall thickness of the thicker region to the wall thickness of the thinner region in a direction from the thicker region toward the thinner region.
