  • Patent number: 6772545
    Abstract: A universal license plate holder which is selectively adjustable to accommodate various sized license plates used around the world, composed of a pair of attachment brackets which are spaced apart and connected to the motor vehicle via respective mounting fasteners and further composed of a cross-bar which is pivotally connected to the attachment brackets. When loosened, each mounting fastener provides a pivot axis for its respective attachment brackets; however, when tightened the attachment brackets are frozen in a fixed relative position. Operatively, rotation of the attachment brackets allows for alignment with the plate holes of any license plate, for example a North American standard license plate, a European standard license plate, a Japanese standard license plate and a Korean standard license plate.
