Abstract
An automobile hood bumper includes a sleeve-like seat fitted with an axial passage and an external thread that can be screwed into a hole of a sheet-like support, an upper segment having a rest head and a shank. A connection member joins the shank to the seat to release said shank when an axial force acting on the upper segment exceeds a predetermined magnitude, whereby the shank moves into the axial passage until the rest head comes to rest at the associated end of said seat. A deceleration element is configured at the outside of the shank and/or in the axial passage to generate a decelerating force by friction and/or by elastic/plastic deformation and to decelerate the penetration of the shank into the axial passage.
