Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention combines a plate for attaching a vehicle license plate to a bumper with a plate material that is rigid in the horizontal direction and a long guard member that is made of synthetic resin or the like and provides rigidity in the vertical direction. The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle license plate, which is formed using a vehicle license plate.

Regarding the conventional number plate mounting structure for vehicles such as automobiles, as is well known, there is a method in which only the number plate is directly attached to the vehicle bumper with screws, etc., but in this structure, the number plate is originally made of a thin metal plate. Since it is made of aluminum, it has the disadvantage of being weak against bending force. On the other hand, in order to solve this problem, some vehicles are equipped with a rigid mounting plate for attaching the license plate, but usually, in order to make the mounting plate rigid, the four sides of the rectangular metal plate are formed by press forming or the like. Since, for example, a groove-shaped and curved rib is provided along the rib, it is possible to form only one rib at a time, and the production thereof is time-consuming and troublesome.

The inventor created a mounting plate to attach the number plate as described above. This invention was developed to solve assembly problems.

The purpose of this invention is to firmly hold and fix the license plate when attaching it to the front and rear bumpers of a vehicle, and to be able to easily assemble and fix it, while also maintaining a good appearance in terms of design. Machining of the mounting plate to achieve these goals. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle license plate which is designed to be easily and inexpensively manufactured by molding.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by a mounting plate for attaching a license plate to the front and rear bumpers of a vehicle. and a rigid long guard member made of, for example, synthetic resin, which is fixed to the bumper, and the mounting plate and the number plate are fixed to the bumper as a set. It is in.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of the number plate mounting structure according to the present invention.
is a plate material made of metal or the like formed by roll forming or the like, and groove-shaped ribs 2, 2 curved along the long sides are formed on the upper and lower long sides, and the plate material 1 is Small holes 3 for screws are bored in the four corners. The plate material 1 has rigidity in the lateral direction due to the ribs 2, 2. In addition, two holes 4, 4 are arranged horizontally in the upper part of the plate 1.
These holes 4, 4 are holes for inserting screws for fixing the plate material 1 to the bumper 5 as described later.

6 is a long guard member molded from, for example, synthetic resin, which has rigidity in the vertical direction in the figure;
A required design, for example, shape, is applied to the outer surface to maintain a good appearance. Moreover, the plate material 1 is attached to the upper and lower ends of the back surfaces of the guard members 6, 6.
Recesses 7, 7 having substantially the same shape that fit into the upper and lower ribs 2, 2 are formed with their inner ends open and their outer ends closed.

In the above plate material 1 and guard members 6, 6, the guard members 6, 6 are fixed to both sides 8, 8 of the plate material 1,
As a result, a mounting plate 10 for mounting the number plate 9 as shown in FIG. 2 is formed. In such connection and integration, the guard member 6
The recesses 7, 7 fit into the ribs 2, 2 of the plate material 1, and the screws 11 are attached from the rear through the small holes 3, so that they are integrated. In this way, the mounting plate 10 can be made rigid in the lateral direction by the ribs 2, 2, and rigid in the longitudinal direction by the guard members 6, 6, so that the mounting plate 10 has overall rigidity and strength. It is formed to be strong against water and has a good appearance.

FIG. 3 shows a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in FIG. 2, and this figure shows an example of the coupling structure of the plate material 1, the guard member 6, and the screw 11. In this example, a metal plate 13 having screw holes 12 is embedded inside the guard member 6 in the vertical direction or at required locations corresponding to the locations where the screws 11 are disposed. As shown in FIG. 3, a projecting piece 14 is formed at the outer end of the guard member 6 toward the rear along the edge, so that both sides 8, 8 of the plate material 1 are connected to the outside of the guard member 6. I try not to expose myself to anyone.

The mounting plate 10 configured as described above is properly aligned with the number plate 9, and the holes 4,
By screwing screws 15, 15 into screw holes 16, 16 formed in the bumper 5 through well-known holes (not shown) in the number plate 9 and the number plate 9, the number plate 9 and the mounting plate 10 are attached. It is attached and fixed to the bumper 5 of the vehicle.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing a modified example of the mounting plate, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5--5 in FIG. In this figure, a plate material 17 is formed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, and ribs 1 are formed along its upper and lower long sides.
8 and 18 are formed, and guard members 19 and 19 are coupled and fixed to both sides thereof. The coupling structure between the guard member 19 and the plate material 17 is the same as that in the previous embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the guard member 1
The front shape of 9 has been changed, and the upper and lower inner ends are ribs 1.
It is formed to extend slightly along lines 8 and 18.
The guard member 19 that provides longitudinal rigidity in the mounting plate 20 can be formed into various shapes, thereby improving its design. Note that 21 and 2 in Figure 4
1 is an upright piece for locking the lower side of the number plate 9, and 22, 22 are holes similar to the hole 4 described above.

As is clear from the above embodiment, the mounting plate 1
0 and 20 are formed by the plate members 1 and 17 and separate guard members 6 and 19 fixed to both sides thereof. Therefore, forming the plates 1 and 17 becomes easy,
It can be produced in large quantities by cutting out a rectangular shape from a long one. On the other hand, since the guard members 6 and 19 can also be integrally molded from synthetic resin, their molding is easy. As a result, overall processing and molding become easier, and manufacturing work is simplified.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides the following effects. When attaching a vehicle license plate to a vehicle bumper, etc., the required mounting plate is made of two parts: a plate material and a guard member.
Since the parts are assembled and formed separately, each part can be easily processed and molded, and the mounting plate can be manufactured easily. Each member is made to have rigidity, and as a result, sufficient rigidity is generated as a whole during assembly, so that the license plate can be mounted and supported without damaging it. It is also easy to align and set the number plate and mounting plate and attach them to the bumper. Furthermore, by giving the guard member, which is a separate member, a certain shape, it is possible to make the appearance extremely good in terms of design.
