Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a number plate mounting structure for an automobile, in which at least a portion of the number plate is superimposed on a bumper so that the number plate can be attached to the vehicle body.

(Prior Art) Generally, a license plate of a car is attached to the car body and sealed, and the registration number is displayed so that it can be confirmed from the outside until the car is scrapped.

The mounting structure of this license plate is, for example, as disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 58-54274,
An opening is created in the bumper attached to the vehicle body, and the holding plate with the license plate attached is screwed through this opening to the vehicle body so that it can swing up and down, and the bracket provided on the back of the license plate holder is directly attached to the vehicle body. A mounting structure is known in which the vehicle is removably fixed to the vehicle body with mounting bolts.

However, with this structure, the lower part of the retaining plate that overlaps the bumper is not fixed to the bumper, so the retaining plate vibrates and rattles with the vehicle body, and when the bumper is removed for repairs, etc., the lower part of the retaining plate is not fixed to the bumper. Therefore, the mounting bolts had to be removed, which also required removing the trim, which was very inconvenient.

For this reason, there is a need for a method for attaching a license plate to a vehicle body so that the attached license plate does not wobble and the bumper can be easily removed.

(Purpose of the invention) In response to the above-mentioned demands, the present invention provides a license plate mounting structure in which the bumper can be easily removed and the license plate does not rattle due to vibrations of the vehicle body.

(Structure of the invention) In the present invention, a notch in the bumper is fitted into a bracket that is fixed to the vehicle body, and a license plate holder is rotatably attached to this bracket so that the bumper can be removed without removing the license plate holder. Furthermore, a part of the lower half of the license plate is removably fixed to the bracket to prevent vibration.

That is, the vehicle is provided with a support portion having a support surface having a mounting hole and a leg portion bent perpendicularly from the peripheral edge of the support surface, and the support portion is fixed to the vehicle body via the tip of the leg portion; The bracket fitted into the notch of the bumper is riveted and fixed to the support surface of the support part. A license plate holder is rotatably attached to the upper end of the bracket, and the license plate holder is attached to the outside of the bumper so as to overlap. This license plate holder is provided with a locking part protruding from the back surface in a part of the lower half, and is removably locked to the locking part protruding from the lower part of the bracket. This prevents the license plate from rattling due to vibrations of the vehicle body, and the bumper can be removed by simply releasing the lock and rotating the license plate holder.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the license plate mounting structure according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of a license plate mounting structure according to the present invention.

A support part 3 is fixed to the vehicle body 1 at a position facing the cutout part 2a of the bumper 2, and a bracket 4 is fitted into the cutout part of the bumper 2 and fixed to the support surface 3A of the support part 3. The upper end of the license plate holder 5 is supported by a shaft 4a on the bracket 4.
A perspective view of the support portion 3 is shown in FIG. 2, and a front view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, holes 3a for mounting nuts or rivets are provided at several locations, and grooves 3b, 3c are provided at the center and top of the supporting surface 3A. Legs 3B and 3C for mounting to the vehicle body are provided vertically in three directions.

A protruding surface 3B' perpendicular to the leg part 3B is formed at the tip of the leg part 3B provided in a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 3A from the upper side of the supporting surface 3A, and this protruding surface 3B' is fixed to the vehicle body by welding or the like. do. Furthermore, 2 of the support surface 3A
A groove 3d is provided in the center of the legs 3C, 3C, which are provided on two equal sides in a direction perpendicular to the support surface 3A,
Bend the tip vertically to create bent portions 3C', 3.
C', and these bent portions 3C' and 3C' are fixed to the vehicle body by welding or the like.

In this way, the bracket 4 is fixed to the support part 3 fixed to the vehicle body with screws, rivets, etc.
Furthermore, a license plate holder 5 is attached to this bracket 4. A perspective view of the license plate holder 5 coupled to the bracket 4 is shown in FIG.

The bracket 4 extends to at least the lower half of the license plate holder 5 whose upper end is supported by a shaft 4a, and protrusions 4b, 4b projecting toward the vehicle body are provided at two locations on the left and right at the lower part of the bracket 4. Similarly, locking protrusions (locking parts) 5a, 5 are provided on the back surface of the license plate holder 5 to protrude toward the vehicle body side and lock with the projections 4b, 4b. , 5a, the protrusions 4b, 4b of the bracket 4 are superimposed on the brackets 4, and are removably locked with a nut 5b. In this way, the license plate holder 5 is securely latched at the lower part to the bracket 4 fixed to the vehicle body, so that it does not wobble due to vibrations of the vehicle body 1 or the like.

The bracket 4 fixed to the support part 3 is fitted into the notch 2a of the bumper 2, and the license plate holder 5 is superimposed on the outside of the lower part of the bumper 2 and attached to the surface of the license plate holder 5. Display the license plate on the outside.

By attaching the license plate with this structure, when repairing the bumper 2, the nut 5b that locks the bracket 4 and the license plate holder 5 is removed, and the license plate 5 is attached to the shaft support 4.
The bumper 2 can be removed by rotating it to a substantially horizontal position at point a.

After repairing the bumper 2, the notch 2a of the bumper 2
The license plate holder 5 is placed almost horizontally.
After attaching the bumper 2 to the vehicle body 1, the license plate holder 5 is rotated downward and fixed to the bracket 4.

(Effects of the invention) According to the license plate mounting structure according to the invention, the upper end of the license plate holder is rotatably supported by a bracket fixed to a position of the vehicle body facing the notch of the bumper, and the lower half is supported by the bracket. Because it is removably fixed to the license plate, the license plate will not rattle due to vibrations of the vehicle body, and when repairing the bumper, the locking part of the license plate holder with the bracket can be accessed from the outside rather than from inside the trunk. The bumper can be removed simply by rotating the license plate holder, which is very convenient.
