  • Publication number: 20070257166
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a license plate vacuum mount for securing a license plate to a vehicle. The license plate vacuum mount may include a license plate frame and a compact vacuum base mount. The compact vacuum base mount may supply a suction force against an adjacent surface of a vehicle body that is sufficient to secure the license plate vacuum mount at a desired location on the vehicle. The compact vacuum base mount is configured to be less than 1.5 inches in total height to provide a streamlined profile for the license plate vacuum mount for better resistance to wind forces. The license plate frame is configured for securing or attaching a license plate against the license plate vacuum mount through the use of mechanical fasteners, adhesives, magnets, or hook and loop material, among others.
