Description

[Detailed description of the invention] a. Industrial application field The invention relates to a structure for mounting a license number plate of an automobile.

b. Conventional technology The license number plate of an automobile is bolted to the vehicle body with two bolts, and one of the bolts is sealed by law in Japan so that the license number plate cannot be removed. The location where the license number plate is attached varies depending on the vehicle body structure. The license number plate is provided at a lower portion of the front bumper at a front portion, and is usually provided at a rear bumper portion, a back door or a trunk lid at a rear portion.

However, since the bumper or the like may be repaired or replaced with a flaw, the bumper or the like can be removed without removing the license number plate.
Further, since the trunk lid may be provided with the trunk lid garnish, it may be necessary to replace the trunk lid garnish.

4 and 5 show a prior art in which a license number plate is attached to a rear bumper.
A license number plate 101 attached to the rear part of the body 100 is fixed to the body 100 from the notch 103 of the rear bumper 102 with bolts 104. The license number plate 101 is rotatably mounted via a pivot member 105 so that the rear bumper 102 can be removed.
No. 192954).

c. Problems to be solved by the invention However, for a thick exterior member such as the rear bumper 102, the body 100 and the license number plate 101
Can be made large, but in the case of the trunk lid garnish, it is not possible to make the gap with the body 100 large due to the relationship with the capacity of the trunk room.

Related prior art includes Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-94958, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 61-21846, and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 58-54274.

However, these prior arts require complicated mechanisms, and are disadvantageous in terms of cost and accuracy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive and high-precision structure for mounting a license number plate of an automobile, which solves the above-mentioned problems, improves the appearance, and is inexpensive.

d. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a license license plate mounting structure for a vehicle in which a front member is provided outside a body for mounting the license license plate of the vehicle. An opening is formed in the front cover member over a fixed width corresponding to the mounting portion of the two license lamps for irradiating the light, and a hinge mechanism provided at the tip between the two license lamps from the opening. A license number plate holding bracket having a substantially inverted L-shaped vertical cross section is disposed through the opening, and a notch portion allowing the rotation of the license number plate holding bracket is formed in the front mounting member so as to be continuous with the opening. , On the vertical wall of the license number plate retaining bracket, the seal side of the license number plate Lies in the fact that the license number plate is mounted in sealed bolt and nut.

e. Action When replacing the front mounting member, remove the fixed bolt from the sealing bolt and the fixed bolt that fix the license number plate. Next, when the license number plate is lifted, the license number plate rotates together with the license number plate holding bracket. Then, the license number plate is pulled out using the opening for mounting the license lamp, and the mounting member is removed from the license number plate. Thus, it is possible to replace the front cover member without removing the sealing-side bolt.

f. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a body of an automobile, and a license number plate 3 is provided on a rear surface of a trunk lid 2. On the surface of the trunk lid 2, a trunk lid garnish 4 as a surface mounting member is disposed, and a license number plate 3 is disposed on the trunk lid garnish 4 from above. Numeral 3 'denotes a character license type license number plate. Above the license number plate 3, two license lamps 5 are provided. These license lamps 5 are built into the trunk lid 2, and an opening through which the license number plate 3 can pass through the trunk lid garnish 4 of the lamp portion. A part 4a is provided. This opening 4a
Is longer than the length m of the license number plate 3 and l> m is formed. Reference numeral 6 denotes a license number plate holding bracket provided with a hinge mechanism mounted on the trunk lid 2 between the license number plates 3, and is provided via a sealing bolt 7 and a nut 7a for sealing and fixing the license number plate 3. License number plate 3 is attached. Another bolt 8 and nut 8a for fixing the license number plate 3 are fixed to the trunk lid 2.

A cutout portion 4b is formed in the trunk lid garnish 4 at a rotating portion of the license number plate holding bracket 6 so as to be continuous with the opening 4a.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a license hook made of resin for supporting a lower end of the license number plate 3. The license hook 9 is attached to the trunk lid 2 through a cutout hole 4 c formed in the trunk lid garnish 4, and is attached by a portion 10.

Bracket for retaining license number plate 6
The hinge center 0 is provided at the same position as the license lamp 5 and is located outside the mounting surface of the license number plate 3. Numeral 11 denotes a detent bolt for fixing the hinge.

According to the above configuration, when removing the trunk lid garnish 4, the hook 10 of the license hook 9 is pushed to release the license hook 9. Next, detent bolt 11
Then, the bolts 8 fixing the license number plate 3 are removed, and the license number plate 3 is lifted. The license number plate 3 rotates about the hinge center 0 together with the license number plate holding bracket 6. Then, the trunk lid garnish 4 is removed so that the license number plate 3 passes through the opening 4a. In this manner, the trunk lid garnish 4 can be replaced without removing the sealing bolt 7 of the license number plate 3.

g. Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the mounting structure of the license plate of the vehicle according to the present invention, the following effects are obtained.

An opening is formed in the front mounting member over a fixed width corresponding to a mounting portion of the two license lamps for irradiating the license number plate, and a notch for allowing rotation of the license number plate holding bracket is formed in the opening. Is formed on the front cover member so that the front cover member can be replaced without removing the sealing bolt and nut on the sealing side of the license number plate. Further, since the license lamp and the license number plate holding bracket are mounted on the vehicle body side, the mounting of both parts can be firmly performed.

From the opening between the two license lamps,
Since the license number plate holding bracket having a substantially inverted L-shape in vertical section is provided via the hinge mechanism provided at the tip, the opening for mounting the license lamp and the notch for mounting the license number plate holding bracket are provided. Since it can also serve as the opening, the opening formed in the front mounting member can be made as small as possible.

The license number plate is mounted on the vertical wall of the license number plate holding bracket having a substantially inverted L-shaped vertical cross section with the sealing bolt and nut on the sealing side of the license number plate. However, it becomes compact and cost can be reduced. Since the notch allowing the rotation of the license number plate holding bracket can be reduced, the appearance can be improved. Further, since the attachment portion of the license number plate and the hinge mechanism are integrated, the dimensional accuracy is stabilized, and the quality is improved.
