Abstract

An automobile bumper having a support that is rigid in its configuration and a covering of elastic material is fixed to the car body via a flangelike portion by fastening means but can be bolted. Visible depressions, indentations or the like in the covering are avoided in a preferred embodiment by a strip having a widened portion that penetrates into the flangelike covering and which has sleeves which extend through the covering so as to bear upon the vehicle body in the region of the fastening members.
