  • Patent number: 7752785
    Abstract: A license plate holder for a motor vehicle holds a vehicle license plate on the vehicle. The holder has a carrier plate to which the vehicle license plate can be fastened, and one or more devices for fastening the carrier plate to the vehicle in a license plate area provided for the vehicle license plate. Each fastening device has a base part fixedly arranged on the carrier plate and a securing part rotatably about a rotation axis arranged on the base part relatively thereto. Spaced away from the carrier plate, the securing part has at least one bracket radially projecting with respect to the rotation axis and can be swiveled about the rotation axis between a starting position and a securing position, whereby the at least one bracket 14 reaches behind a vehicle-fixed holding contour for fastening the carrier plate to the vehicle in the securing position.

  • Publication number: 20080014016
    Abstract: To positionally fix a front part of a motor vehicle to a support part fixed on the vehicle body, pre-fixing devices are provided via tabs which can be bent over and can be brought into a latching position on the support part. The front part can thereby be held in a manner such that it can be adjusted in a plurality of directions, and therefore pre-fixing is achieved.
