Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a front license grate mounted on the front bumper of an automobile.

The front license plate of a conventional automobile is attached to the center of the front wall of the front bumper in order to improve visibility. By the way, as shown in Fig. 1, this front bumper 1 is curved with the main part of the bumper facing forward as a whole to match the shape of the front of the vehicle body, so the front bumper wall 1a has a curved surface. Therefore, it is not possible to properly mount the flat license plate 2 as it is.Therefore, generally, as shown in the figure, a flat mounting surface 3 is recessed in the center of the bumper front wall 1a, and Bolt holes 4 are opened in the mounting surface 3, the front license plate 2 is brought into contact with the mounting surface 3 as shown in FIG.
, and tighten bolts 6 and nuts 7 to fix it.

However, depending on the export destination, even if the vehicle is of the same model, the front license plate 2 may not be necessary. It was. As a solution to this problem, a mounting surface 3 is formed on the front wall of the bumper,
It is conceivable to have two types of front bumpers that do not form a mounting surface, but it not only takes a lot of parts management time and management space, but it also costs money to prepare two types of front bumpers for the same car model. This is not desirable as it is extremely disadvantageous.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the conventional situation, the present invention provides a method for properly attaching the front license plate to the outer surface of the front wall of the pantry without forming a special flat attachment surface. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a front license plate mounting structure that does not cause problems in terms of appearance even if the vehicle model is of the same type and is not equipped with a front license plate.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in recent years, a front bumper has been provided with a decorative effect.

For this purpose, we focused on the tendency to form accent stripe grooves in the length direction on the front wall of the front bumper, and formed a slit in the upper groove wall of this accent stripe groove, while fixing one end to the bottom wall of the pants. a locking claw is formed on the rear surface of the other end of the bracket that is placed in front of the front wall of the bumper to which the front license plate is mounted, and the locking claw is engaged with the slit to fix the bracket;
The front license plate is attached via the bracket.

Example Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

・ ・ In Figures 3 to 5, IO is a front bumper made of elastic material such as resin or rubber, and the front wall 10a of this front bumper IO has an accent stripe groove 11 formed in its length direction to create a decorative effect. It is like that. And, approximately in the center of the front wall 10a of the pants,
A plurality of slits 12 for mounting brackets, which will be described later, are formed in the upper groove wall of the accent stripe groove 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a metal bracket to which the front license plate 2 is attached, and its lower end is fixed to the bumper lower wall 10b with bolts 15, and is disposed in front of the bumper front wall 10a. This bracket 13 has, for example, a locking claw 14 cut and formed on the back surface of its upper end. front bumper l
Securely fix this bracket 1 to the front of O.
3, front license plate 2 and bolt donut 1
It is fixed at 6.

According to the above embodiment structure, even if the license plate mounting surface is not specially formed on the bumper front wall 10a,
Since the bracket 13 is disposed forward of the bumper front wall loa, the front license plate 2 can be fixed to the bracket 13 and properly attached to the bumper front wall 10a.

On the other hand, in the case of a vehicle equipped with such a front bumper low front license plate 2,
It is sufficient to use the bracket 13 without attaching it, and at this time, the front wall 108 of the bumper does not have the conventional license plate mounting plate for Xz.
Furthermore, the slit 12 is located in the upper groove wall of the accent stripe groove 11, and is not visible from the outside in the front bumper. Therefore, the appearance does not deteriorate.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the front license plate can be properly mounted without having to prepare a mounting surface or bolt holes for mounting the license plate on the front wall of the bumper, and therefore, the front license plate can be properly mounted on the front bumper wall. Even if the vehicle is of the same model and is not equipped with a front license plate, the appearance will not be impaired, and the appearance quality of the front bumper can be significantly improved compared to the conventional one, which has a great practical effect.
