Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention provides a structure for mounting license plates in automobiles, etc., more specifically, a license plate can be reliably mounted on a resin fascia that constitutes a bumper, and The present invention relates to a license plate mounting structure in which a plate can be reliably mounted and a mounting portion can be neatly stored even when the license plate is not mounted.

(Prior Art) When attaching the license plate 3 to the fascia 2 that constitutes the front bumper of the automobile 1 as shown in FIG. Inserting and gluing nuts and the like into the fascia 2 in advance poses problems, such as prolonging the molding cycle of the resin fascia and insufficient mounting strength.

Therefore, when using the resin fascia 2,
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, a metal plate 5 to which a nut 4 is welded is buried and fixed in advance in the predetermined position where the license plate is to be attached during the forming stage of the fascia 2, and the license plate 3 is attached to the nut 4 with screws. By stopping the license plate 3, the license plate 3 is attached.

However, the work of inserting the metal plate 5 into a predetermined position in advance requires a lot of effort and results in a long molding cycle of the fascia 2, which is not preferable in terms of production efficiency.

Furthermore, although it is necessary for the outer surface of the fascia 2 to be a smooth surface for aesthetic reasons, when the metal plate 5 is buried as described above, a so-called "sink mark" occurs on the fascia 2 in the buried part. However, there was a problem that the surface had poor unilateral lubricity and the commercial value decreased.

As another example, a locking hole is drilled in a resin fascia, locking claws are formed at both ends of a metal plate to which nuts are welded, and the locking claws are inserted into the locking hole from the inside of the fascia. However, in this case, the metal locking claw part was exposed to the outside of the fascia, which made it look bad, and the exposed part had the disadvantage of rusting. .

(Purpose of the invention) In view of the problems of the conventional mounting structure mentioned above, the present invention has a simple structure that can be securely fixed to the license plate. To provide a license plate mounting structure that can accommodate a license plate in an attractive manner and can also be adapted to cases where the license plate mounting pitch and mounting conditions are different.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a mounting plate mounting hole is bored in the resin fascia, and the back surface of the mounting plate is brought into contact with the surface side of the fascia. The surface of the auxiliary plate is brought into contact with the surface of the auxiliary plate from the back side, a grommet is integrally formed on the mounting plate, and the locking claw formed at the tip of the grommet is inserted into the grommet locking hole drilled in the auxiliary plate in a non-returning manner. forming a screw screw hole that expands when the screw is screwed into the grommet;
drilling a screw mounting hole in the mounting plate, drilling a screw hole in the auxiliary plate at a position corresponding to the screw mounting hole, and providing a screw threading nut at the screw hole position on the back surface of the auxiliary plate; A license plate mounting structure for a resin fascia, characterized in that the mounting plate mounting hole is formed such that a license plate mounting screw and a grommet that are screwed into the screw nut can be inserted therethrough.

(Effects of the invention) In the present invention having the above configuration, the fascia is held between the mounting plate and the auxiliary plate, and a screw is installed in advance in the screw mounting hole of the mounting plate that is not used. The fascia can be held with the auxiliary plate, and there is no decrease in workability due to inserting it into the fascia as in conventional methods, and it is extremely simple and easy to work with, and also does not cause "sink marks" on the fascia. Therefore, there is no reduction in the smoothness of the fascia surface.

Also, in foreign countries, the mounting pitch of the license plate may differ depending on the country, but as mentioned above, two screw mounting hole positions are set, so these hole positions must be formed in advance at the specified pitch. If this is done, it will be possible to adapt to different installation conditions.

Furthermore, in the case of a vehicle without a plate, the mounting portion can be neatly accommodated by simply mounting screws in the screw mounting holes described above, and there is no need to worry about the occurrence of rust.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

3 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention, and in the figures, 6 is a resin mounting plate, 7 is a fascia 2.
This is a metal auxiliary plate that is arranged opposite to the mounting plate 6 with the angle between them.

The mounting plate 6 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the Y line, mounting holes 8 are formed at two locations on the left and right sides of the fascia 2 (only one of which is shown in the figure), corresponding to the mounting position of the license plate 3. The auxiliary plate 7 is fitted into the mounting hole 8 from the back side 2b of the fascia 2. In addition,
The mounting hole 8 of the fascia 2 is a stepped hole with a fitting depth equal to the thickness of the mounting plate 6 so that the outer surface of the mounting plate 6 is flush with the outer surface of the fascia 2. It is formed.

The mounting plate 6 has a pair of left and right screw mounting holes 9, and in both the first screw mounting hole 9a and the second screw mounting hole 9b, the head portion of the countersunk screw is located on the surface of the mounting plate 6. It is formed in a tapered shape so that it can be installed flush with the Furthermore, a screw grommet 10 is integrally formed in the second screw attachment hole 9b of the screw attachment holes 9.

On the other hand, the locking pawl 10a of the screw grommet 10 is fitted and locked into the auxiliary plate 7 at a position corresponding to the second screw attachment hole 9b in which the screw grommet 10 is formed. A fitting hole 11 is provided. A fitting hole 12 into which a screw can be fitted is bored at a position corresponding to the other first screw fitting hole 9a, and a fitting hole 12 into which a screw can be fitted is formed on the back surface to match the hole 12. A nut 13 is welded together.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the mounting plate 6 is attached to the pair of mounting holes 8, 8 of the fascia 2, the distance between the pair of first screw mounting holes 9a, 9a is, for example, It is set to be the mounting pitch for the license plate 3 in Japan, and the pair of second screw mounting holes 9b, 9b are
The distance between them is set to match the mounting pitch specified by the exporting country, such as North America.

Next, the usage state of the mounting plate 6 and the auxiliary plate 7 according to this embodiment will be explained. For example, when the above-mentioned domestic license plate 3 is mounted, as shown in FIG. Then, the mounting plates 6 are fitted and locked into the pair of mounting holes 8, respectively, and correspondingly, the auxiliary plate 7 is brought into contact with the rear surface 2b of the fascia 2, and the second After fitting the screw grommet 10 having the check claw 10a formed on the back surface of the mounting hole 9b, the screw grommet 10 is screwed into the second screw mounting hole 9b by screwing the countersunk screw 14 into the second screw mounting hole 9b. expands and the check claw 10a is locked in the fitting hole 11 of the auxiliary plate 7, so the mounting plate 6 will not come out of the fitting hole 11 of the auxiliary plate 7, and the facia 2 will be fixed to the mounting plate. 6 and the auxiliary plate 7 can be firmly fastened and fixed.

Next, when installing a predetermined license plate 3, the license plate 3 is brought into contact with a predetermined position, and the screw mounting hole 31 of the license plate 3 is aligned with the first screw mounting hole 9a of the mounting plate 6. A screw 15 that is screwed into a nut 13 of an auxiliary plate 7 is screwed into the license plate 3 to securely attach and fix the license plate 3 to the fascia 2.

In addition, in the case of vehicles manufactured for specific export countries such as North America mentioned above, countersunk screws are screwed into the pair of first screw mounting holes 9a in advance, contrary to the above, at the shipping stage. , the fascia 2 is fastened between the mounting plate 6 and the auxiliary plate 7 by screwing into the nut 13 of the auxiliary plate 7, and when the license plate 3 is installed, the second screw mounting hole 9b is used to tighten the license plate. 3
Just fix it to the facia 2 with screws.

Furthermore, in the case of a vehicle without a license plate, it is sufficient to screw the decorative countersunk screws used in both the first and second screw mounting holes 9a and 9b of the mounting plate 6.

As mentioned above, in this embodiment, even if the vehicle uses the resin fascia 2, the mounting plate 6 and the auxiliary plate 7 are installed in advance at the shipping stage.
can be securely fixed to the facia 2, and the fixing work is extremely simple as it only requires screwing.Furthermore, by using countersunk screws for the fixing member of the mounting plate 6, the fixing member can be attached to the mounting plate. Do not protrude from the surface of 6. In addition, mounting holes are formed in the fascia 2 so that the outer surface of the mounting plate 6 is on the same plane as the fascia 2, so that the mounting plate 6 can be stored in an attractive manner.

Therefore, there is no need to embed a metal plate or the like in the fascia as in the past, so there is no sink mark on the fascia surface, and the molding cycle for the fascia is shortened, so work can be carried out quickly.
Furthermore, by using anti-corrosion treated countersunk screws, there is no risk of rust occurring.

In addition, there are two mounting holes 9 on the mounting plate 6.
a and 9b, it is possible to cope with the fact that the mounting pitch of the license plate 3 differs depending on the country with one type of mounting plate 6, which makes it reasonable. This eliminates the risk of injury if the plate is attached incorrectly, and can be provided at a low cost.

Moreover, even if the license plate 3 is not installed on a vehicle, if the decorative screws are screwed into both screw mounting holes 9a, 9a, the mounting portion can be handled in an attractive manner. Mounting plate 6
If you match the color to the same color as Facia 2,
The sense of beauty is improved.

Although the above embodiment shows an example in which a pair of screw mounting holes are formed in the mounting plate 6, in order to correspond to a plurality of mounting pitch conditions, if necessary, each mounting plate 6 may be provided with three or more screw mounting holes. A hole may be formed in advance, or, depending on the conditions, a screw grommet may be integrally formed in both of the pair of screw mounting holes.
On the contrary, it goes without saying that both may be provided as mounting holes without screw grommets.

Further, the mounting plate mounting hole 8 formed in the resin fascia may be formed separately from the hole for the screw grommet 10 and the hole for the screw 15. One hole may be bored in one piece.
