Disclosed herein is an over-slam bumper for a vehicle. The over-slam bumper includes: a bumper unit (100) of which an end portion protrudes toward a door to absorb shock generated between a vehicle body and the door; and a mounting unit (200) coupled with the bumper unit (100) to fix the bumper unit to the vehicle body, wherein the bumper unit (100) includes: an elastic part for absorbing shock generated when getting in contact with the door; and a coupling part (116) connected to the elastic part and coupled with the mounting unit (200). The elastic part includes a buckling part (111) for absorbing shock by buckling; a compression part (130) for absorbing shock by compression; and an elastic air compression part for absorbing shock by sealing the inside air to compress inside air.

Vehicular door rails are presented including: an elongated body; a pivot joint positioned along a proximal end of the elongated body for pivotally coupling with a vehicle door frame; a latching element positioned along a distal end of the elongated body for latching with the vehicle door frame; and a latch handle positioned along a top surface of the elongated body and mechanically coupled with the latching element. In some embodiments, vehicular door rails further include: a strut positioned along and coupled with an underside surface of the elongated body for pivotally coupling with the vehicle door frame. In some embodiments, the strut is: a gas charged strut, a spring strut, a spring-loaded fluid strut, an air dampened strut, a hydraulic strut, a pneumatic strut, and any combination thereof.

A spacer assembly includes a housing that is configured to couple to a component. The housing includes a central bore. A bumper is coupled to the housing. The bumper includes a bumper support including a shaft that extends within the central bore, and a bumper head coupled to the bumper support.

A system for closing a door of a vehicle may include at least one sensor configured to detect a velocity and a position of the door, and a brake configured to decrease the velocity of the door. An actuator may be included to move the door to a closed position, and a controller may be included to control operation of the at least one sensor, the brake, and the actuator.

A vehicle door check mechanism includes a bellows to act as a pneumatic retarder to prevent a high load from being transferred from the door check mechanism to a structural part of a door of the motor vehicle if that door is opened to a fully open position at high speed.

An over slam bumper assembly includes a reinforcement member mounted on a door panel, and an over slam bumper including a first portion disposed between the door panel and the reinforcement member and a second portion disposed between the door panel and a vehicle body to contact the vehicle body when a door is closed.

A vehicle door apparatus includes: an electric door lock unit configured to switch between a locked state of restricting an opening/closing operation of a swing door and an unlocked state of permitting the opening/closing operation of the swing door; an operation detection unit configured to detect an operation request of the swing door by an operator; an electric door check unit provided on the swing door and configured to switch between a holding state of applying a holding force to the swing door for holding the swing door at an arbitrary degree of opening and a non-holding state of not applying the holding force; and a controller configured to switch the electric door lock unit from the locked state to the unlocked state and to set the electric door check unit in the non-holding state when the operation request is detected.

A door component has a damper device with two connection units that can be moved relative to each other for damping a door movement of a door of a vehicle. The damper device contains a magnetorheological fluid, as an operating fluid, and a cylinder unit having a first chamber and a second chamber. The two chambers are separated from each other by a piston which is provided with a damping valve. The damper device has a connection which is constructed for coupling to a drive. The damper device can be moved in an active manner at least from a first position into a second position by the drive which is coupled via the connection.

A device and method for automatically closing a tailgate of a motor vehicle having a body and a tailgate closing device, is described. The tailgate closing device comprises first and second closing elements. A suspension strut is situated on a first side of the tailgate and a power strut is situated on a second side of the tailgate opposite the first side. The suspension strut and the power strut are both connected to the tailgate and to the body. The first closing element is situated on the tailgate and the second closing element is situated on the body. The first and second closing elements are designed to engage into each other during the closing of the tailgate to effectuate the closure of the tailgate. The torque acting via the power strut onto the tailgate is reduced during the closing of the tailgate when the distance between the first and second closing elements is less than a threshold value.

A support assembly includes a bump stop having a shaft. The support assembly includes an insert having a guide ring disposed around the shaft, a bump stop support supporting the bump stop, and a column connecting the guide ring to the bump stop support. The column is breakable relative to the guide ring and the bump stop support.
