Bump stopper

A bump stopper for elastically limiting an amount of operation of a suspension system of a vehicle, the bump stopper being provided between two suspension members of the suspension system which are moved toward, and away from, each other upon operation of the suspension system, the bump stopper comprising:

• a rigid holding member which is attached to one of the two suspension members and which includes a hollow holding portion opening toward the other suspension member;
• a spring member which is formed of a foamed elastic material and which includes a base end portion held by the hollow holding portion of the holding member and also includes a free end portion projecting away from said holding portion toward the other suspension member;
• and
• a stopper rubber which is formed of a rubber material different from said foamed elastic material and which projects from an end surface of the hollow holding portion of the holding member toward the other suspension member such that a free end surface of the stopper rubber is more distant from the other suspension member than a free end surface of the spring member,
• wherein when the other suspension member bumps against the free end surface of the spring member, the spring member is elastically deformed and compressed into an inside space of the stopper rubber, so that the other suspension member bumps against the free end surface of the stopper rubber.
