Hood stopper structure for automobile

Disclosed is an automobile hood stopper structure wherein a stopper (7) serving as a cushioning member during closing of a hood (5) attached to a front portion of an automobile body is disposed between the hood (5) and an automobile body member (1,2), which comprises a support bracket (8) formed with a support portion supporting the stopper (7), and attached to the automobile body member (1,2). The automobile hood stopper structure is designed such that, when the stopper (7) supported by the support bracket (8) is subjected to the action of a load having a given value or more which is greater than a load acting thereon during closing of the hood (5), the support bracket (8) is deformed to thereby facilitate a downward movement of the stopper (7). The automobile hood stopper structure of the present invention can effectively absorb an impact energy during closing of a hood (5), and effectively cushion an impact load acting in the event of a collision, for example, a collision of a pedestrian's head against a top surface of the hood (5), in a simplified structure.
