Abstract
A license plate screw guard shields the screws that attach a license plate to a vehicle. The guard is made of soft stretchable rubberized plastic of approximately ⅛″ thickness, and thicker directly over the license plate screws or injection molded plastic with multiple front layers pivotally interconnected by living hinges. The guard fits over the top of the license plate and covers the two plate attaching screws. The front surface of the guard covers the width of the license plate thereby providing a surface for imprinting information. Alternately two guards each cover one of the screws.
Claims10
A license plate screw guard for shielding the screws which attach a license plate to a vehicle, the guard comprising:
- a protective cover comprising a front and back plate contacting surfaces spaced apart by a distance less than the thickness of a license plate for a motor vehicle, the protective cover further comprising a tension means interconnecting the front and back plate contacting surfaces, the tension means capable of maintaining the front and back plate contacting surfaces in tight contact with a front and back surface of the license plate so that the protective cover is held in place on the license plate, and the protective cover further comprising a resilient surface means for covering a pair of screws which secure the license plate to the motor vehicle so that the screws are prevented from contacting a surface of another motor vehicle and thereby prevented from causing any damage to the surface of another motor vehicle upon a low-impact contact therewith.
