An adjustable bumpstop

摘要

A bump stop assembly 14 for use between a door and a surrounding frame co-operates with an abutment. The bump stop assembly comprises a body 15 having an inclined surface 23 and a slider 16 which is capable of movement along the inclined surface. The slider has a strike face 30 for contact with the abutment and a resilient catch in the form of serrations which co-operate with serrations provided on the body. In use, closing the door brings the abutment into contact the slider causing it to ratchet along the serrations, moving along the inclined surface until it is in the correct position with the abutment in touch with the end face of the slider. The door is then opened and a lock 17 is provided for securing the bump stop in the correct position. The assembly is particularly useful for a vehicle tail gate.
