Abstract: A shock suppressor has a first base, a second base, a sliding tray and a slider. The first base has a first guiding recess. The second base is mounted above the first base at an interval and has a second guiding recess facing the first guiding recess of the first base. The sliding tray is slidably mounted in the first guiding recess of the first base and has a sliding recess and a convex surface slidably mounted on and abutting against the first base in the first guiding recess. The slider is slidably mounted between the sliding recess of the sliding tray and the second guiding recess of the second base and has two convex faces. The abutments between the first base, the sliding tray, the slider and the second base can provide three concave sliding mechanisms to the shock suppressor.
