Device to reduce the impact when two things come in contact (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buffer

(Other definitions for buffer that I've seen before include "Thing or structure that lessens effect of impact" , "Something that lessens the effect of an impact" , "sort of state" , "Protector against shock" , "Cushion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
