PURPOSE: Structure of a striker is provided to avoid the loss of lives by making the hood of a vehicle flexible and by absorbing a shock downward applied from the upper portion of the vehicle hood when a walker collides to the hood of the vehicle. CONSTITUTION: A shock sensing lever(2) is rotatably combined to a bracket(3) combined to a hood(1) via a lever pin(11). A first coil springs(8) is connected to the lower end of the shock sensing lever and the upper end of the bracket to absorb shock. A first protruded portion(14) of a support lever(4) combined to the bracket via a support pin(10) is bonded to the end of the recess formed on the end of the shock sensing lever. A second protruded portion(15) of the support lever is bonded to the recess formed on the middle of a striker support unit(6) installed on the upper end of a striker(5). Both ends of the striker support unit and the lower end of the bracket are connected with a second coil spring(7). When a shock is applied to the hood, the support lever is rotated by the shock sensing lever, and a junction is departed. A junction of the support lever and the support unit is departed. The striker reciprocates by the restorative force of the second coil spring. Therefore, the shock is absorbed.
