Abstract
A mounting structure for an energy absorber includes an energy absorber having a mounting hole therein, a member having a mounting surface for receiving the energy absorber thereon and a rod projecting from the mounting surface to enter the mounting hole, and a cylindrical member. The cylindrical member includes a cylindrical portion to be disposed over and fixed to the rod and having axial ends, a first flanged portion extending outwardly from one axial end of the cylindrical portion and located above a peripheral portion of the mounting hole of the energy absorber, and a second flanged portion extending outwardly from the other end of the cylindrical portion and located in and surrounded by the energy absorber. The energy absorber is securely fixed to the member by the cylindrical member.
