  • Publication number: 20150078861
    Abstract: A removable vehicular registration plate fastener utilizes hitches that are attached to the front grill of a vehicle and hitch receivers that are attached to the vehicle's registration plate to temporarily secure the registration plate to the vehicle. The hitches are attached to the grill by a flange and a washer, which the grille is compressed between. The registration plate is secured between the receiver body and a plate attachment cap. A standoff with a ferromagnetic hitch cap is connected to the flange and is received by a hitch receiver. A magnet within the receiver body forms a magnetic bond with the hitch cap, securing the hitch within the hitch receiver. Two pairs of hitches and hitch receivers may be used for when the vehicle is not in motion, or four pairs may be used for a more secure attachment for when the vehicle is to be driven.
