Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a license plate cover for an automobile, which is suitable for installation in a parking lot of a hotel, an inn, or the like in order to protect customers' privacy.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as this type of automobile license plate cover, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a license plate cover b is attached to the inside of a rectangular frame a, and the frame a is attached to a leg portion c connected to the lower portion thereof. It is known that it is erected and held vertically.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above conventional product, when installed in front of the license plate of the car, the cover is almost invisible from the driver's seat, so carelessly forgetting to remove the cover and leaving the car to start It often resulted in damage to cars and covers.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the above-described conventional technology. Even if a vehicle collides with the cover, the support rod of the cover falls down by about 90 degrees and the vehicle is crushed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a license plate cover for automobiles in which damage to the cover and the cover is minimized.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle license plate cover according to the present invention comprises a base plate, a support member provided on the base plate and having a groove portion of a predetermined width formed substantially in the center, and a groove bottom portion of the support member. The number plate cover supporting rod fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating body, and the rotating plate rotatably provided in the groove of the supporting body. When the support rod of is upright, the end face of the rotating plate on the side opposite to the support rod is pressed against the friction plate to hold the support rod in a vertical position, while the license plate cover prevents the automobile from colliding. When further pressed, the rotating body is eccentrically supported by the groove portion of the support plate so that the end surface of the rotation plate is released from the pressure contact state with the friction plate and the support rod is laid sideways. That.

[0006]

[The actual form of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially sectional side view of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a standing state of a license plate cover, FIG. 3 is a partial side sectional view of the same, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state in which the bar plate cover is laid down, FIG. 5 is a side sectional view of a part of the same, and FIG. 6 is an inner view of the support.

In the figure, 1 is a disk-shaped base plate, 2 is a support body integrally provided in the central portion of the base plate 1, 3 is a friction plate made of an elastic material such as urethane rubber, and 4 is a support body 2. A circular rotary member 5 rotatably supported in a vertical state to a support rod of a license plate cover 6 connected and fixed to the outer periphery of the rotary member 4, respectively. The base plate 1, the support 2, the rotor 4, the support rod 5 of the license plate cover 6 and the like, excluding the friction plate 3, are all made of metal.

The support 2 on the base plate 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a groove portion 7 having a predetermined width is opened and cut in a substantially central portion, so that a pair of inside of the groove portion 7 is formed. The holding pieces 2a, 2a are arranged opposite to each other. The width of the groove portion 7 is formed to be slightly wider than the plate thickness of the rotating body 4, and the friction plate 3 is fixed to the bottom portion of the groove portion 7.

The circular rotating body 4 is inserted into a groove portion 7 formed between the holding pieces 2a, 2a of the support body 2 and is horizontally provided at the center between the holding pieces 2a, 2a or above. It is eccentrically supported by the support shaft 8.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the minimum distance l and the maximum distance L between the support rod 5 and the support shaft 8 of the license plate cover 6 and the end surface of the rotating body 4 are linear in the vertical direction. When the support rod 5 of the license plate cover 6 is erected vertically, the end face of the rotating body 4 on the opposite side of the support rod 5 is pressed against the friction plate 3 so that the support rod 5 becomes vertical. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the number plate cover 6 is pressed by the collision of the automobile A, the end surface of the rotating body 4 is released from the pressure contact state with the friction plate 3 and the supporting rod 5 is held. It is configured to lie down 90 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 6, it is desirable that both ends of the support shaft 8 are inserted into a vertically elongated elliptical shaft hole 9 that is recessed in the inner surface of each of the holding pieces 2a, 2a. Accordingly, the vertical position of the rotating body 4 supported by the support shaft 8 with respect to the friction plate 3 can be finely adjusted. That is, the upper and lower positions of the rotating body 4 are set to be optimum according to the thickness and wear of the friction plate 3.

Reference numeral 10 in the figure denotes a pressure adjusting screw screwed from above the holding pieces 2a, 2a of the support body 2, and the tip of the pressure adjusting screw is, as shown in FIG. By pressing it against 8, the upward movement of the rotating body 4 is blocked. Reference numeral 11 denotes a bellows body externally inserted to the support rod 5.

In the illustrated example, the license plate cover 6 is made of cloth on the inner side of a rectangular frame 6a that is continuous with the upper end of the support rod 5 in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the support rod 5 falls over. The cover 6b is attached by the tie string 6c, but the present invention is not limited to these configurations, and for example, one metal cover (not shown) may be connected to the upper end of the support rod 5.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the license plate cover for an automobile according to the present invention is set up in front of the license plate of the automobile A while the number plate cover 6 is erected during use, and the license plate cover is installed for privacy protection. While it is possible to completely block the line of sight of others, for example, when the driver mistakenly starts the car A on the way back, the support rod 5 of the license plate cover 6 may move in the traveling direction of the car A due to the impact at the time of a collision. Since it falls sideways backward by about 90 degrees (actually more than that), damage to the number plate cover 6 and support rod 5 is extremely small, and the service life can be greatly increased compared to the conventional fixed type. . The same applies to car damage. Also, since the support rod 5 of the license plate cover 6 can be laid sideways on both the front and rear sides along the groove portion 7 of the support body 2, it can be installed without considering the front and rear direction of the license plate cover 6. Is very good.
