The license plate mounting frame comprises a housing 1 made of polymeric material of a rectangular shape with rounded corners and with a recess 2 for arranging the license plate in the form of a plate adjacent to the back side of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 with the protruding sections 4 of the housing 1 along the perimeter around the license plate in the form of a fringing.

In the bottom part 3 of the recess 2, elements 5 are made with holes 6 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 8) for mounting the license plate to the body 1 using screw fasteners (not shown in the drawings), as well as holes 7-11 (Fig. .2) for fastening the hull to the vehicle, located mirror symmetrically relative to the transverse line in the middle of the hull 1.

Holes 7-11 for mounting the housing 1 to the vehicle are made of two types:

- in the first (7, 8, 9) - elongated in a straight line in the plane of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 of the form;

- in the second (10, 11) - elongated on the sides of a right angle in the plane of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 of the form.

The perimeter of each hole 7-11 for mounting the body 1 to the vehicle on both sides of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 is made of closed beads 12, 13 (Fig.1-4). The collars 12 from the side of the recess 2 of the bottom part 3 are rounded in cross section, and from the opposite side of the bottom part 3 - (collars 13) of a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The shoulders 12, 13 prevent the screw head or bolt from slipping through the holes 7-11 of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 both when they are twisted when the body 1 is attached to the vehicle, and under any dynamic effects on the body 1.

The housing 1 in the plan is made with a length not exceeding the value of the double width, and the holes 7-11 for attaching the housing 1 to the vehicle are located:

- the first group of holes 7 for mounting the housing 1 to the vehicle, arranged in series and oriented along straight lines, forming a geometrically cross;

- four second groups located between the beams of the indicated geometric cross, in each of which holes 8 for attaching the body 1 to the vehicle are arranged parallel to each other and to the long sides 14 of the body 1 in rows, in each row, sequentially and with orientation along a straight line, with holes 8 in adjacent rows, offset relative to each other in the longitudinal rows direction;

- two third groups of holes 9, 10 for mounting the body to the vehicle, located on the side of the body part 1 adjacent to one long side 14, each of which is formed by a second type of hole 9 extending from the middle part of the body 1 along the long side 14, then holes 10 of the first type, then again with a hole 9 of the second type, which is located geometrically inside the corner of the housing 1, and then with holes 10 of the first type along the short side 15 of the housing 1;

- two fourth groups of a pair of holes 11 of the second type, located on the part of the housing 1 adjacent to its second long lateral side 16 (Fig.2), in each group of which the holes 11 are adjacent to the short short sides 15 of the housing 1 with the location on the side inside their corners of one of the second groups of holes 8.

Additional internal elements 18, 19 (FIGS. 1, 2, 5) for mounting the license plate are made on the inner side surfaces 17 of the recess 2 facing towards each other.

On one inner side surface 17 of the recess 2 for the location of the license plate, additional elements 18 for mounting the license plate are each made in the form of a straight projection extending from the side edge 17 at a right angle to it (Fig. 5).

On the other inner side surface 17 of the recess 2 for additional location of the license plate, additional elements 19 for mounting the license plate are each made in the form of an inclined straight ledge extending from the outer edge of the inner side surface 17 at an acute angle to it, oriented in the direction of the bottom 3 of the recess 2.

The number of additional elements 18, 19 for mounting the license plate may not correspond to each other and they may not be arranged in pairs opposite one another.

On one of the longitudinal sides of the housing 1, a portion 20 is expanded from the side surface 17 of the recess 2 (FIGS. 1, 2, 6), in which the housing 1 is longitudinally made on the side of the recess 2 for the location of the license plate groove 21 with the strap 22 fixed therein from polymeric material for placement of text and / or graphic information.

Holes 23 are made in the groove 21 on its transverse lateral surfaces (FIGS. 1, 7), and the bar 22 is made on the transverse lateral surfaces with protrusions 24 (FIG. 1) included in these holes 23.

On the longitudinal side surfaces of the groove 21, fixing recesses 25 (FIGS. 1, 6) are made, having directional flat surfaces 26 (FIG. 6) from the groove 21, parallel to the bottom 3 of the recess 2 for the location of the license plate. The bar 22 is made on the longitudinal side surfaces with protrusions 27 (Fig. 6) included in these fixing recesses 25, and in cross section, the protrusions 27 on the longitudinal side surfaces of the bar 22 are each in cross section in the form of an acute angle, one part of which is parallel to the outer surface 28 of the bar 22 and forms a surface 29 of the interface with the abutting flat surface 26 of the corresponding fixing recess 25, and the second 30 is directed to the side of the bar 22, opposite its outer surface 28, and this second 30 part The acute angle of the cross-sectional shape of each protrusion 27 on the longitudinal side surface of the strip 22 has a protruding arc shape.

Due to the presence of the protrusions 27 of the described configuration, the bar 22 is rigidly fixed in the groove 21, which excludes not only its spontaneous loss due to vibration of the vehicle, other dynamic loads caused by vehicle maneuvers, but also vandal actions associated with removing or stealing the bar 22. The bar 22 is installed once in the manufacture of a frame for mounting the vehicle license plate, when the bar 22 with the desired text and / or graphic information is selected for installation mation, determined by the customer-organization, selling frames or vehicles (for example, advertising information of the trading company, or some other information, can be applied to bar 22). In the future, a change of the bar 22 is not provided, since such a demand by the market is not in demand. On the contrary, the removal of the strip 22 leads to at least partial destruction of both the protrusions 27 and the fixing recesses 25. In the case of unauthorized removal of the strip 22 and its subsequent re-installation in the housing 1, reliable fastening of the strip 22 is no longer provided, and may decrease reliability of license plate mounting. In such cases, it is usually recommended to replace the frame for attaching the vehicle license plate with a new one. Plank 22 is made a separate part only with the aim of expanding the range of planks 22 with different text and / or graphic elements with a single plate design, which generally makes the design unified and helps to reduce the cost of production.

The inner side surfaces of the recess 2 are made of stepped, forming supporting surfaces protruding around the perimeter sections 31 (Fig.1, 2) for interfacing with the back surface of the license plate fixed on the housing 1.

Each element 5 with a hole 6 for mounting the license plate to the housing 1 is made in the form of a tide on the bottom 3 of the recess 2, the height of which does not exceed the height of the locations of the supporting surfaces 31 of the inner side surfaces of the recess 2.

On the reverse side of the bottom part 3 of the recess 2, in each tide, the hole 6 is made with an extension 32 (Fig. 8) having a hexagonal cross-section for installation into it with an interference fit of the insert sleeve 33 (Figs. 1, 2, 10) with the external a surface made with the possibility of screwing into it a fastener for mounting the license plate to the housing 1.

The insert sleeve 33, as well as necessary for fixing the license plate to the body 1 with a fastening element, the washer 34 (Figs. 1, 2, 9), are formed in the required quantity in one piece with the body 1 on the bottom 3 of the recess 2, to which are connected by jumpers 35 (Fig.9, 10), destructible when separating the insert sleeves 33 and washers 34.

On the reverse side, the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 is made protruding on the housing 1 and along its perimeter a closed flange 36 is made (Figs. 3, 5, 8), identical in cross section in shape, orientation and size to the collars 12 or 13 around holes 7 -11 for attaching the housing 1 to the vehicle.

In addition, on the reverse side, the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 is intersected by solid and intermittent stiffening ribs 37 in the form of protrusions, which are also identical in cross section in shape, orientation and size to the collars 12 or 13 around the holes 7-11 for mounting the body 1 to the vehicle .

Also, the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 on the inner side is made with stiffeners 38 (figure 1, 2), the height of which does not exceed the height of the locations of the supporting surfaces 31 of the inner side surfaces of the recess 2.

First, the housing 1 is fixed on the vehicle (not shown in the drawings), the elements of which provide, as a rule, two, three, four corresponding threaded holes made on the body of the vehicle, on the frame, on the wing, fairing or on another external structural element of the vehicle facilities. The housing 1 is fixed by threaded fasteners, which are passed through holes 7-11 in the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 of the housing 1, coinciding with the threaded holes on the vehicle.

After fixing the housing 1 on the vehicle, the license plate is introduced in contact with the upper part of the portion of the supporting surface 31 under the additional elements 18 for mounting the license plate in the form of a straight ledge extending from the outer edge of the side surface 17 at right angles to it.

Next, the license plate is inserted into the recess 2 of the housing 1 and pushed into the recess 2 through additional elements 19 for mounting the license plate in the form of an inclined straight protrusion extending from the lateral surface 17 at an acute angle to it until the edge of the license plate comes under the additional element 19 with support around the perimeter on the supporting surface 31.

Then the license plate is fixed with threaded fasteners such as self-tapping screws, on which the washers 34 are put on, then they are passed through the holes in the license plate, then through the holes 6 in the bottom part 3 of the recess 2 and screwed into the insert sleeves 33 previously installed before fixing the case 1 on the vehicle in an extension of 32 holes 6.

The shoulders 12, 13, 36 exclude the adherence along the plane of the body 1 to the surface of the vehicle body, which reduces the filling of this interface zone with moisture, helping to prevent corrosion, and also eliminates the adhesion of the body 1 to the body surface in the interface zone, which is especially important for new vehicles when body coatings are highly glossy.

The presented example of the implementation of the technical solution is not exhaustive. Other embodiments are possible corresponding to the scope of patent claims. The frame for mounting a license plate on a vehicle, made in accordance with patent claims, is made according to known technologies from known thermoplastic polymeric materials. In the presented embodiment, the housing 1 is made of polypropylene, and the strip 22 is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, also known as ASB plastic. The use of ASB plastic for the manufacture of plank 22 allows not only to perform relief graphic or text elements of advertising, geographical (Fig. 1) or other content on its surface 28, but also to use silk-screen printing and metallization, including partial metallization protruding surfaces of any relief made in the manufacture of the strip 22.
