Reverse-drive elastomeric helical-thread hood bumper

摘要

A hood bumper is provided and includes a first end including a body defining a longitudinal axis and a surface having an angular edge oriented along the longitudinal axis, a second end opposite the first end and including a skirt portion and a bumper portion protruding from a longitudinal end of the skirt portion in a protrusion direction defined along the longitudinal axis and an intermediate section interposed between the first and second ends. The intermediate section includes reverse-drive helical threading.

1. A hood bumper, comprising:
a first end including a body defining a longitudinal axis and a surface having an angular edge oriented along the longitudinal axis; a second end opposite the first end and including a skirt portion and a bumper portion protruding from a longitudinal end of the skirt portion in a protrusion direction defined along the longitudinal axis; and an intermediate section interposed between the first and second ends, the intermediate section including reverse-drive helical threading and having a diameter greater than a diameter of the first end but less than a diameter of the second end, wherein the skirt portion: flares outwardly from a narrowest flaring portion at an interface of the skirt and bumper portions to define the diameter of the second end at a widest flaring portion, which is an endpoint of the reverse-drive helical threading, is continuously smooth along a circumferential direction, and is tapered such that the interface is provided as an edge with an obtuse angle.
