Description

Vehicle license plate coupling device {COUPLING APPARATUS FOR NUMBER PLATE OF VEHICLE}

The present invention relates to a license plate coupling device for a vehicle, and more particularly, to an auxiliary arm that can be used when coupling a license plate to a vehicle.

As is well known, the license plate of the vehicle means that the vehicle registration number assigned to each vehicle by a combination of letters and numbers is engraved on a rectangular plate.

The license plate of such a vehicle is usually attached to a designated place of the vehicle, for example, on the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively.

However, since the license plate of the conventional vehicle is attached to the front and rear surfaces of the vehicle using bolts, there is a problem in that the attachment is cumbersome. In addition, when an external force acts on the bolt and deformation and/or damage occurs, there is a problem that the replacement of the license plate becomes more difficult.

In order to solve these problems, Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1875734 (announced date: 2018.07.09.) has proposed a license plate coupling device for fixing the license plate in a one-touch manner using an elastic fixing member.

In addition, when replacing the license plate of the conventional vehicle, the bolt attached to the vehicle is removed, and a new license plate is mounted and then fastened with the bolt again, so there is a problem in that the replacement is cumbersome.

Accordingly, in the present invention, a new type of vehicle license plate coupling device is provided, which is easy to operate when attaching and replacing the license plate.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle license plate coupling device capable of quickly and easily mounting a license plate and simplifying replacement.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle license plate coupling device that is easy to operate when mounting and replacing the license plate.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a license plate coupling device for a vehicle to which the license plate can be firmly coupled while being easy to operate.

The present invention includes a mechanism in which one of the fixing members is slid along the slot and pressed by the elastic member in order to achieve the object as described above.

More specifically, the license plate coupling device for a vehicle of the present invention has a slot formed in the vertical direction, and a base plate mounted on the vehicle, is formed to protrude along the edge of the base plate, and is registered with the base plate A rim portion forming a number plate receiving portion in which the number plate is accommodated, a fixing protrusion coupled to the base plate or the rim portion to be caught on the lower side of the license plate, and coupled to the base plate so as to be slidable along the slot, A sliding member caught on the upper side of the license plate, and a spring for elastically pressing the sliding member in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion.

According to an example related to the present invention, the sliding member includes a movable part configured to be movable along the slot, and a hook part that extends from the movable part and is disposed to protrude from the slot, and is caught on the upper part of the license plate. include

A support wall for supporting the spring is formed in the slot, and the spring may be elastically supported by the spring portion and the support wall, respectively.

A fitting rod protruding from the support wall may be inserted into the spring. The moving part is moved to a stopper disposed in the slot, and in a state in which the license plate is not mounted on the license plate receiving part, the moving part may be in contact with the stopper by the pressure of the spring.

According to another example related to the present invention, the lower end of the slot may be formed in a position covered by the license plate to limit the release of the hook portion due to the difference in the amount of thermal deformation of the base plate and the license plate.

According to another example related to the present invention, a moving groove through which at least a portion of the sliding member moves is formed in the edge portion.

A through hole connected to the moving groove may be formed in the edge portion to apply a force to the sliding member.

In addition, the present invention includes a base plate mounted on a vehicle, and an edge portion protruding along the edge of the base plate to form a license plate accommodating part in which a license plate in which a vehicle registration number is displayed together with the base plate is accommodated; A fixing protrusion coupled to the base plate or the rim part and caught on one side of the license plate, and a sliding member that is movably coupled to the base plate or the rim part in the vertical direction, and is caught on the other side of the license plate, and the base plate; and a spring supported by the sliding member to elastically press the sliding member, wherein at least a portion of the sliding member comes into contact with the license plate by the elastic pressing of the spring in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion on the license plate Provided is a license plate coupling device for a vehicle that is formed to apply a force.

According to another example related to the present invention, the slot in which the sliding member is disposed is formed in the base plate in the vertical direction, and one end of the slot is covered by the license plate when the license plate is accommodated in the license plate accommodating part. Is formed in the position, the other end of the slot may be formed in a position not covered by the license plate when the license plate is accommodated in the receiving part.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, one side of the license plate is fixed by a fixing protrusion, and the other side of the license plate is fixed by a limiting part that is moved relative to the fixing protrusion, so that the coupling of the license plate is fast. and can be facilitated.

In addition, according to the structure of the present invention, the limiting part is pushed by the pressure of the license plate and when the license plate enters the installation position, it moves to the original position by the spring to limit the departure of the license plate. Therefore, in a simple way of rotating and pressing the license plate around one side of the license plate caught on the fixing protrusion, the license plate can be coupled to the license plate coupling device.

In addition, as the limiting portion is configured to be movable away from the fixing protrusion, the jamming of the license plate can be easily released by the movement. Furthermore, since the operation part is connected to the limiting part and configured to be exposed to the outside through at least a portion of the rim part, the operation of releasing the jamming of the license plate can be made more easily through the operation part. Through the above structure, the separation of the license plate can be made quickly and easily compared to the conventional bolt fastening method.

In addition, through the structure in which the operation part is caught by at least a part of the edge part, it is possible to maintain the release state in which the limiting part does not limit the departure of the license plate. In this case, when an external force is applied to the free end of the manipulation unit, the control of the movement of the restriction unit may be very easy through a structure in which the engagement of the manipulation unit is released.

In addition, according to the present invention, when the operation part is released after inserting the license plate into the installation position in a state in which the operation part is caught on the edge part, the limiting part is moved to a position limiting the departure of the license plate. In this case, since it is not necessary to press the limiting part of the license plate, it is possible to mount the license plate without applying any special force.

In addition, according to the present invention, by forming a sliding slot in the base plate, and forming a moving groove in the edge portion, the license plate coupling device can be implemented in a compact structure. In addition, by forming the receiving groove of the spring of each of the base plate and the sliding member, a structure for stably adding an elastic force can be implemented.

In addition, the present invention has a fixed structure of a license plate coupling device in which a lower fixing protrusion having a fixed position, and an upper sliding member elastically pressed toward the lower fixing protrusion is configured to be movable relative to the lower fixing protrusion. Therefore, by applying a force to push up the upper sliding member upward and then removing the force from the installation position or separation position, the license plate can be easily installed or separated from the license plate coupling device.

In addition, according to the present invention, the license plate coupling device is made so that the compression degree of the spring is different from the state in which the license plate is not placed in the license plate receiving part and the license plate is fixed by the sliding member. Through this, even if the interval between the rim of the license plate coupling device and the license plate is changed by temperature change, it is always possible to firmly bind the license plate.

In addition, according to the present invention, as the slot is formed in the base plate and the movable groove is formed in the edge portion, the license plate coupling device can have a compact structure.

The fastening element 137 may be a bolt, a pin, or the like. Accordingly, the base plate 130 may be integrally fixedly coupled to the vehicle 10 .

The plurality of through-holes 135 may be formed in a greater number than the number of fastening elements 137 coupled to the vehicle 10 . For example, when the fastening element 137 is a bolt, the position at which the bolt is coupled is different for each type of vehicle 10 , so that the base plate 130 is commonly used.

The plurality of through-holes 135 may be formed of, for example, long holes having a long length to one side. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately respond to the deviation of the position of the fastening element 137 .

In this way, the base plate 130 may be coupled to the license plate mounting portion 15 of the vehicle 10 using the fastening element 137 .

Hereinafter, a structure for coupling the license plate 110 to the base plate 130 coupled to the vehicle 10 will be described in detail.

A fixing protrusion 150 may be provided on the edge of the rim portion 131 or the license plate accommodating part 132 to suppress the license plate 110 inserted into the license plate accommodating part 132 from being separated. have.

The fixing protrusion 150 may be formed to protrude from the edge portion 131 so as to cover one side of the front side of the license plate 110 .

For example, the fixing protrusion 150 may protrude from one side of the edge part 131 toward the other side of the edge part 131 . As described above, the fixing protrusion 150 may be integrally formed with the edge portion 131 , but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

For example, the fixing protrusion 150 may be coupled to the rim portion 131 or the license plate receiving portion 132 as a separate member. When the fixing protrusion 150 is coupled to the license plate accommodating part 132, the fixing protrusion 150 has a vertical portion formed in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the license plate accommodating part 132, and the vertical It may be provided with an extension toward the other side of the edge portion in the portion.

The fixing protrusion 150, for example, may be formed on the long side of the license plate receiving portion 132, or formed on the short side of the license plate receiving portion (132).

The long side refers to one side extending along the longitudinal direction of the license plate receiving part 132 , where the longitudinal direction refers to a direction formed along a longer edge of the base plate 130 . Accordingly, the short side portion may be an edge extending along the width direction of the license plate receiving portion (132).

Alternatively, the fixing protrusion 150 may be formed on the long side and the short side of the license plate accommodating part 132, respectively. In this embodiment, the fixing protrusion 150 is exemplified to be formed in the long side of the license plate receiving portion (132).

More specifically, the fixing protrusion 150 may be formed on any one of the upper side and the lower side of the license plate receiving portion (132). In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that the fixing protrusion 150 is disposed on the lower side.

According to this structure, the lower side of the license plate accommodating part 132 has a sidewall of the fixing protrusion 150 and the edge part 131 and a bottom surface of the license plate accommodating part 132 on one side of the license plate 110 . An arrangement space or an insertion space in which this insertion is arranged is formed.

In this way, the fixing protrusion 150 is configured to protrude from the edge portion 131 or coupled to the edge portion 131 or the base plate 130, and to be hooked on one side of the front side of the license plate 110 . In this case, the fixing protrusion 150 may include a plurality of fixing projections spaced apart along the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the fixing protrusion 150 is a guide surface ( 152) may be provided.

The guide surface 152 may be inclined at an end of the protrusion 151 so that the entrance of the arrangement space may be widened toward the other side of the edge portion 131 . Through the inclined guide surface 152, when the license plate 110 is inserted, the insertion of the license plate 110 may be guided.

Accordingly, after inserting the lower edge of the license plate 110 in the drawing between the bottom surface of the fixing protrusion 150 and the license plate receiving part 132 first, the upper edge of the license plate 110 is rotated to the It is possible to accommodate the license plate 110 in the license plate accommodating part 132 .

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sliding member of FIG. 2 , and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 1 .

4 and 5, the sliding member 190 is coupled to the base plate 130 from the opposite side of the fixing protrusion 150 with respect to the license plate receiving part 132 to be slidably movable. do. For example, the sliding member 190 is movably coupled to the base plate 130 in the vertical direction. That is, the sliding member 190 is configured to move closer to the fixing protrusion 150 or away from the fixing protrusion 150 .

In addition, at least a portion of the sliding member 190 is configured to be hooked on the license plate 110 . More specifically, the sliding member 190 is provided with a limiting part 191, the limiting part 191 covers the other front side of the license plate 110 so that the license plate 110 is the license plate receiving part 132. limit departure from

The license plate coupling device includes a spring 160 that elastically presses the sliding member in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion 150 , whereby the limiting part 191 exerts an elastic force against the fixing protrusion 150 . to maintain the state of covering the other side of the front side of the license plate. The spring may be formed in various forms such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber spring, a magnetic force spring, and the like.

The sliding member 190 may include a sliding body 192 on which the limiting part 191 is disposed, and the sliding body 192 may be coupled to the base plate 130 to be slidably movable. More specifically, the limiting part 191 may protrude from one surface of the sliding body 192 . A through hole 193 may be formed at one side of the limiting part 191 so that a part of the sliding body 192 is bent to implement the limiting part 191 .

The limiting part 191, for example, is bent from the vertical part 191a so as to cover the vertical part 191a extending upward from the sliding body 192 and the license plate, a fixing part for fixing the license plate ( 191b) may be provided.

In this case, the fixing part 191b may be bent downwardly from the vertical part 191a. In addition, the end of the fixing portion (191b), for example, when in contact with the license plate 110 may be provided with a bent bent portion to suppress scratches or damage to the license plate (110).

Meanwhile, the sliding member 190 may include a manipulation unit 194 disposed to be spaced apart from the limiting unit 191 in a direction away from the fixing protrusion 150 to enable manipulation. For example, the manipulation unit 194 is formed in the sliding body 192 , and when the manipulation unit 194 is pulled, the sliding body 192 and the limiting unit 191 move.

When the pulling of the manipulation unit 194 is stopped by the elastic force of the spring 160 , the sliding body 192 slides toward the fixing protrusion 150 . In this case, the limiting part 191 also moves together with the sliding body 192 .

The license plate coupling device may include a sliding slot 140 in which the sliding member 190 is movably disposed. For this example, the sliding slot 140 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part), and the sliding body 192 may be movably disposed in the sliding slot 140 .

Since the sliding body 192 is caught at the upper end and lower end of the sliding slot 140 , the movement range of the sliding member 190 may be limited between the upper end and the lower end of the sliding slot 140 . In addition, the spring 160 may be disposed in the sliding slot 140 .

In this case, the sliding body 192 may include a first portion 192a formed on one side with respect to the limiting portion 191 and a second portion 192b formed on the other side. The spring 160 may elastically press the first part 192a, and the manipulation part may protrude from the second part 192b. In this case, the through hole 193 formed at one side of the limiting part 191 may be disposed in the first part 192a.

In this example, the manipulation unit 194 is bent at the end of the second part 192b to form a vertical direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, the manipulation unit 194 may have any shape as long as it is caught by an external tool.

Referring to the drawings, a moving groove 136 through which at least a portion of the sliding member moves may be formed in the edge portion 131 . For this example, a moving groove 136 communicating with the sliding slot 140 may be provided, and the manipulation unit 194 may be inserted into the moving groove 136 .

That is, the moving groove 136 may extend to cut the edge portion 131 from the lower end of the sliding slot 140 . More specifically, the moving groove 136 may be recessed from the sidewall of the edge portion 131 toward the outside. In addition, a through hole 137 connected to the moving groove 136 may be formed in the edge portion to apply a force to the manipulation unit 194 .

The through hole 137 is formed to pass through the edge portion 131 in one side wall of the moving groove 136 . The through hole 137 and the moving groove 136 may be formed to have a size that the manipulation unit 194 can be accommodated, respectively.

According to this structure, an external tool is inserted into the edge portion through the through hole 137 , and it is possible to be caught by the manipulation unit 194 . Accordingly, the operator can manipulate the sliding of the sliding member 190 using a tool.

In this case, in order to prevent the sliding body 192 from being separated from the sliding slot 140 , a cover part 137 overlapping at least a part of the sliding body 192 is provided on the side wall of the sliding slot 140 . can protrude from The cover part 137 is formed to have a length smaller than the length of the sliding slot 140 so that the sliding body can be inserted into the sliding slot 140 . However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the cover part may be coupled to the base plate as a separate member.

According to the structure described above, the limiting part 191 is spaced apart from the license plate 110 by the operation of pulling the operation part 194, and after the license plate 110 is accommodated in the license plate receiving part 132. By the restoring force of the spring 160, it can be returned to a position that covers the front surface of the license plate 110. Hereinafter, this operation will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

6 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation in which a license plate is coupled to the license plate coupling device of FIG. 2, and FIG. 7 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation of releasing the license plate in the coupled state of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6 (a), in the first state in which the sliding member 190 is fixed to the initial position by the elastic force of the spring 160, the limiting part 191 is located inside the license plate receiving part 132. will do

In the first state, one side of the license plate 110 is fitted to the fixing protrusion 150 , and the license plate 110 rotates so that the other side of the license plate 110 contacts and presses the limiting part 191 .

Referring to (b) of FIG. 6 , in the second state in which the limiting part 191 is pressed, the sliding member 190 receives a force to the outside, and through this, the sliding member 190 slides. . In this case, the limiting portion 191 may be accompanied by elastic deformation.

Referring to (c) of FIG. 6 , after the license plate 110 has passed through the limiting part 191 , the sliding member 190 is the front surface of the license plate 110 by the elastic force of the spring 160 . Pressing or contacting the other side or sliding movement to a position caught on the other side of the front of the license plate (110). In this case, the limiting part 191 can be suppressed from the front departure of the license plate 110 in the third state in which the free end is disposed in front of the license plate 110 .

As such, in the present invention, coupling is possible only by inserting the license plate 110 into the license plate accommodating part 132 without bolting the license plate 110 to the vehicle.

Meanwhile, in the present example, it has been described on the premise that the positions of the limiting part 191 are different from each other in the first state and the third state, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the positions of the limiting part 191 in the first state and the third state may be the same as each other.

In addition, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 7, when it is necessary to replace the license plate, the license plate can be easily separated from the license plate receiving portion by using the operation unit.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 7 , in the third state, the user inserts an external tool into the through hole 137 of the rim portion 131 and engages the tool in the manipulation unit 194 . Thereafter, when the manipulation unit 194 is pulled, the sliding member 190 slides to the fourth state, as shown in FIG. 7B . In the fourth state, the sliding member 190 is moved to a position where the license plate 110 and the limiting part 191 do not overlap each other.

In the fourth state, since the limiting part 191 is released from overlapping the license plate 110 , the license plate 110 can be easily taken out from the license plate accommodating part 132 .

If the manipulation unit is utilized, other manipulations are also possible when the license plate 110 is coupled to the license plate coupling device. For example, after pulling the sliding member 190 from the first state to the fourth state using the tool, one side of the license plate 110 is inserted into the fixing protrusion 150, and the license plate ( It is possible to rotate 110) and insert it into the license plate accommodating part 132. After the pulling is released, the limiting part 191 moves to the third state to fix the license plate 110 .

As another example, in the case of mounting the license plate, after pulling the sliding member 190 from the first state to the fourth state as shown in FIG. It is also possible to insert into the (150), rotate and insert the license plate receiving portion (132). At this time, when the force pulling the sliding member 190 is released after receiving the license plate 110 in the license plate accommodating part 132, the sliding member 190 moves, as shown in FIG. 6(c). It can be switched to a third state.

As described above, in the present invention, one side of the license plate 110 is fixed by the fixing protrusion 150, and the other side of the license plate 110 is fixed by the limiting part 191 that is relatively moved with respect to the fixing protrusion. , the engagement and disengagement of the license plate can be made quickly and easily.

The fixing protrusion 150 may have the structure of the example described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 , and a description thereof is replaced with a description of the example described above.

Also in this example, after inserting the lower side of the license plate 210 in the drawing between the bottom surface of the fixing protrusion 150 and the license plate receiving part 232 first, by rotating the upper edge of the license plate 210 It is possible to accommodate the license plate in the license plate accommodating part. At this time, the upper edge of the license plate 210 is inserted between at least a portion of the sliding member 290 and the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part 232, the license plate 210 can be fixedly coupled to the license plate coupling device. have.

As shown, the sliding member 290 is slidably coupled to the base plate 230 from the opposite side of the fixing protrusion 150 with respect to the license plate receiving part 232 . For example, the sliding member 290 is movably coupled to the base plate 230 in the vertical direction. That is, the sliding member 290 is configured to move closer to the fixing protrusion 150 or away from the fixing protrusion 150 .

In addition, at least a portion of the sliding member 290 is configured to be hooked on the license plate 210 . More specifically, the sliding member 290 includes a limiting portion 291, and the limiting portion 291 covers the other front side of the license plate 210 so that the license plate 210 is the license plate receiving portion 232. limit departure from

The license plate coupling device includes a spring 260 that elastically presses the sliding member 290 in a direction closer to the fixing protrusion 150, whereby the limiting part 291 is the fixing protrusion 150. It is maintained in a state of covering the other side of the front side of the license plate 210 by receiving an elastic force. The spring 260 may be formed in various forms such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, a rubber spring, a magnetic force spring, and the like.

The sliding member 290 may include a sliding body 292 on which the limiting part 291 is disposed, and the sliding body 292 may be slidably coupled to the base plate 230 . More specifically, the limiting portion 291 may protrude from one surface of the sliding body 292 . The sliding member may be formed by injection molding so that a portion of the sliding body 292 is bent to implement the limiting portion 291 .

The limiting part 291 is, for example, bent from the vertical part 291a to cover the vertical part 291a extending upward from the sliding body 292 and the license plate 210, the license plate 210 It may be provided with a fixing portion (291b) for fixing the.

In this case, the fixing part 291b may be bent upwardly from the vertical part 291a. In addition, the end of the fixing part 291b, for example, when in contact with the license plate 210, a bent bent part 291c to suppress scratches or damage of the license plate 210 may be provided. . The bent portion 291c may be bent so that the end of the limiting portion protrudes in a direction away from the sliding body, so that the upward inclination of the fixing portion 291b becomes larger.

Meanwhile, the sliding member 290 may include a manipulation unit 294 disposed to be spaced apart from the limiting unit 291 in a direction away from the fixing protrusion 150 to enable manipulation. For example, the manipulation unit 294 is formed in the sliding body 292 , and when the manipulation unit 294 is pulled, the sliding body 292 and the limiting unit 291 move.

When the pulling of the manipulation unit 294 is stopped by the elastic force of the spring 260 , the sliding body 292 slides toward the fixing protrusion 150 . In this case, the limiting part 291 also moves together with the sliding body 292 .

Referring to the drawings, the manipulation unit 294 may be caught by at least a portion of the edge unit 231 in a state in which the limiting unit 291 covers the other front side of the license plate is released.

For this example, the manipulation unit 294 extends from one end of the sliding body 292 in an inclined direction to the sliding body 292 , and at least a portion of the edge portion 231 at one side of the manipulation unit 294 . A locking part 295 to be hooked on may be provided.

To this end, the fixed end is connected to at least a portion of the sliding member 290 , and the free end is formed to be engageable with at least a portion of the edge portion 231 . That is, the locking part 295 is provided on the free end side, and as the free end is bent, the locking part 295 is rotated.

Referring to the drawings, a moving groove 236 through which at least a portion of the sliding member 290 moves may be formed in the edge portion 231 . For this example, a moving groove 236 communicating with the sliding slot 240 may be provided, and the limiting part 291 may be inserted into the moving groove 236 .

That is, the moving groove 236 may be recessed from the sidewall of the edge portion 231 toward the outside. In addition, a through hole 238 connected to the moving groove 236 may be formed in the edge portion 231 so that the locking portion 295 passes through and can be caught on the outer surface of the license plate coupling device.

The through hole 238 is formed to pass through the edge portion 231 on one side wall of the moving groove 236 . The through hole 238 and the moving groove 236 may be formed to have a size that the manipulation unit 294 can be accommodated, respectively.

When the locking part 295 passes through the through hole 238 and is caught on the outer wall of the edge part 231 , the sliding member 290 may be fixed. In this case, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 238 facing the engaging portion 295 may be formed to be inclined in a direction opposite to the inclination direction of the manipulation unit 294 . Since the manipulation unit 294 is formed to be inclined with respect to the sliding body 292 , as it is inserted into the through hole 238 , bending deformation occurs in the manipulation unit 294 , and after passing through the through hole 238 , the manipulation unit 294 is formed to be inclined. It is restored so that the locking part 295 may be caught by the edge part 231 .

In addition, in this case, the outer wall of the edge portion 231 along the vertical direction may be an inclined surface so as to apply a force to the locking portion 295 in the vertical direction. According to this structure, it is easy to apply an external force to release the locking from the outside in a state in which the manipulation part 294 is inserted into the through hole 238 and caught on the edge part 231 .

On the other hand, a first accommodating groove 241 in which a part of the spring 260 is accommodated is formed in the base plate 230 , and a first receiving groove 241 in which another part of the spring 260 is accommodated in the sliding member 290 . Two receiving grooves 242 may be formed.

More specifically, the license plate coupling device may include a sliding slot 240 in which the sliding member 290 is movably disposed. For this example, the sliding slot 240 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part), and the sliding body 292 may be movably disposed in the sliding slot 240 . In this case, the first receiving groove 241 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding slot 240 .

At this time, the sliding body 292 may include a first portion 296 formed on one side with respect to the limiting portion 291 and a second portion 297 formed on the other side. The second receiving groove 242 may be formed in the first portion 296 . In order to form the second receiving groove 242 on the lower surface of the sliding body 292 , a receiving protrusion 243 may protrude from the front surface of the sliding body 292 in a cylindrical shape.

At this time, a guide protrusion 244 formed to slide along the first receiving groove 241 is formed on one side of the second receiving groove 242 . For example, the guide protrusion 244 is formed to block the end of the second accommodating groove 242 , that is, the end of the first part 296 , and is inserted into the first accommodating groove 241 . According to this structure, the spring 260 may be accommodated between the first accommodating groove 241 and the second accommodating groove 242 . Through this structure, the spring 260 elastically presses the first part 296 with a compressive force.

In this case, in order to prevent the sliding body 292 from being separated from the sliding slot 240 , a cover part 245 overlapping with at least a part of the sliding body 292 is a sidewall of the sliding slot 240 . can protrude from In order for the sliding body 292 to be inserted into the sliding slot 240 , the cover part 245 is formed to have a length smaller than the length of the sliding slot 240 , or the base plate 230 as a separate member. can be coupled to

According to the structure described above, the limiting part 291 is spaced apart from the license plate by the operation of pulling the operation part 294 and caught on the edge part 231, and when the locking is released, the spring 260 ) may be returned to the position covering the front of the license plate 210 by the restoring force. Hereinafter, this operation will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

11 is an operation diagram illustrating an operation in which the license plate is coupled to the license plate coupling device of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 11 , in the first state in which the sliding member 290 is fixed to the initial position by the elastic force of the spring 260 (see (a) of FIG. 11 ), the limiting part 291 is the license plate receiving part 232 ) is located inside the By the compressive force of the spring 260 , the sliding member 290 may be fixed at a position in contact with the lower end of the sliding slot 240 .

In the first state, when the manipulation unit 294 is pulled as shown in (b) of FIG. 11 , the sliding member 290 slides outward. By the pulling, the sliding member 290 slides to the fourth state. The fourth state is a state in which the sliding member 290 is moved to a position where the license plate 210 and the limiter 291 do not overlap each other, similar to the above-described example.

However, in this example, in the fourth state, the engaging portion 295 of the manipulation unit 294 may be caught by at least a portion of the edge portion 231 . As described above, since the manipulation part 294 is inclined with respect to the sliding body 290 and the through hole 238 is inclined in the opposite direction to the manipulation part 294, the engaging part 295 is the As it is inserted into the through hole 238 , the more it is pressed, the more bending occurs in the manipulation unit 294 . Thereafter, in the fourth state, the manipulation unit 294 may be restored after passing through the through hole 238 so that the engaging unit 295 may be caught by the edge portion 231 .

In the fourth state, since the limiting part 291 is released from overlapping the license plate 210 , the license plate 210 can be easily inserted into the license plate accommodating part 232 . Thereafter, when a force is applied to the locking part 295 as shown in FIG. 11(c) to release the locking part 295 from being caught on the edge part 231, as shown in FIG. 11(d), the limiting part (291) moves to the third state to fix the license plate.

Here, the third state is a state in which the limiting portion is a free end 210 disposed in front of the license plate 210, and in this state, the forward departure of the license plate 210 can be suppressed.

Although this example has been described on the premise that the position of the limiting part is different from each other in the first state and the third state, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the position of the limiting part in the first state and the third state may be the same as each other.

As such, in the present invention, without bolting the license plate to the vehicle, after inserting it into the license plate accommodating part, coupling is possible only by releasing the jamming of the operation part.

On the other hand, when the license plate 210 is removed from the license plate coupling device, when the sliding member 290 is moved to the fourth state by pulling the operation part 294, the engaging part 295 is caught and , the license plate 210 and the limiter 291 do not overlap each other. Accordingly, the removal of the license plate can be made very easily.

As shown, the first region 338a is formed to be inclined in a direction opposite to the inclination direction of the manipulation unit 394 , and as it is inserted into the first region 338a through this, the manipulation unit 394 has a bending deformation. This occurs and is restored after passing through the first area 338a so that the locking part 395 may be caught by the locking jaw.

Also in this example, the free end of the manipulation unit 394 may be rotated with respect to the fixed end to release the lock. To this end, a manipulation hole 339 penetrating the edge portion 331 in a direction perpendicular to the second region 338b may be formed at one side of the second region 338b. When a tool is inserted into the manipulation hole 339 , the locking part 395 is pressed to enable rotation of the free end.

A structure in which the spring 560 applies an elastic force to the sliding member may be modified in the example described above with reference to FIGS. 8 to 14 .

Referring to the drawings, the sliding body 592 is disposed in a sliding slot 540 formed in the vertical direction on the base plate 530 , and is formed to be movable along the sliding slot 540 . The sliding slot 540 may be formed on the base plate (the bottom surface of the license plate receiving part).

Since the sliding body 592 is caught by the stopper 561 located in the sliding slot 540 , the movement range of the sliding body 592 may be limited to the stopper 561 . The stopper 561 may be formed at a position covered by the license plate 510 .

At this time, the spring 560 may elastically press the sliding body 592 toward the stopper 561 . That is, due to the spring 560, the sliding body 592 receives an elastic force against the fixing protrusion 150 to press one side of the license plate 510 . The spring 560 may be formed in various forms, such as a coil spring, a leaf spring, rubber, a magnetic spring, a hydraulic spring, and the like.
