First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An opening and closing apparatus of a luggage room for a vehicle, the opening and closing apparatus comprising:
a latch configured to be coupled with a luggage room door of the vehicle wherein the latch is provided with a locking hook;
a housing configured to have a space formed therein;
a striker having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is configured to penetrate through the housing, and is provided with a locking part selectively locked to the latch, and wherein the second portion is provided with an extension extending in a predetermined direction of the vehicle from a lower portion of the locking part and the extension is inserted into the space of the housing; and
elastic members provided in the space of the housing and formed to enclose an outside of the extension of the striker,
wherein a first stopper made of an elastic material is provided between the housing and the locking part of the striker, coupled to the housing, and spaced apart from the striker by a predetermined distance, and
wherein a second stopper made of an elastic material is provided between the housing and the extension of the striker, coupled to the housing, and spaced apart from the striker by a predetermined distance.

2. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the locking part of the striker is formed in a vertical direction and the extension is formed in a predetermined direction of a vehicle body from an end of the locking part and the locking part and the extension are perpendicular to each other.

3. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the extension of the striker is a bar and the elastic member enclosing the outside of the extension is a pipe shape.

4. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an end of the locking part of the striker is penetrably provided with a locking hole to lock the locking hook of the latch to the locking hole so as to couple the luggage room door with a vehicle body.

5. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the elastic members are each coupled to both sides of the extension of the striker.

6. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of elastic members is provided with a hollow part indented inwardly along an inner peripheral surface thereof.

7. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a central portion of the housing is provided with a neck part indented downwardly and upwardly from an upper surface and a lower surface of the housing and the extension of the striker is inserted into the neck part in a horizontal direction.

8. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing is provided with fastening parts having a plate shape which extend to both sides of the housing to couple the fastening parts with the vehicle body by a fastening member.

9. The opening and closing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the housing is provided with a through hole to penetrate the striker through the through hole.
