Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a license plate frame mounting structure which can be easily retrofitted even if a license plate is previously mounted on a vehicle body such as an automobile, and a hanging type license plate frame. It is a thing.

[0002]

As is well known, license plate frames are
It covers the outer peripheral edges of a license plate attached to the front and rear parts of a vehicle body of an automobile or the like to protect the license plate, and various forms have been conventionally proposed.

However, most of the license plate frames are, as illustrated in FIG. 6, upper, lower, left and right side frame portions 1a, 1 into which outer peripheral edges of a license plate (not shown) are fitted.
b, 1c. A license plate frame 1 made up of 1d is formed, and a mounting plate 2 is formed downward from the back surface side of the upper frame portion 1a.
To form

Bolt insertion holes 3 and 3 are provided at predetermined positions of the mounting plate 2, that is, at positions corresponding to the mounting holes of the license plate and the mounting hole of the vehicle body (not shown). A license plate is attached to the back side, and bolts (not shown) inserted through the mounting holes of the license plate and the mounting holes 3 and 3 of the license plate frame 1 are screwed into the mounting holes of the vehicle body, and the license plate frame 1 is numbered. It is fixed to the car body together with the plate.

[0005]

By the way, in such a license plate frame 1, when the license plate is attached to the vehicle body in advance, it cannot be attached until the license plate is removed from the vehicle body.

In particular, when the vehicle is purchased, the license plate on the rear part of the vehicle body is sealed so that the bolt insertion hole 3 on the left side cannot be removed when the vehicle is purchased. Has the problem that it cannot be installed.

Therefore, conventionally, the license plate frame must be mounted at the same time as the license plate is mounted on the vehicle body, that is, the license plate must be sealed in advance, which is troublesome in terms of work and management. There's a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and even if a license plate is previously attached to a vehicle body of an automobile or the like, a hook-and-stop type license plate frame can be easily retrofitted. The purpose is to provide a mounting structure and a license plate frame thereof.
