License Plate Frame and Method of Use

摘要

A license plate frame comprising a license plate frame body defining a centrally located substantially unobstructed registration plate viewing area therethrough. The unobstructed viewing area is defined by a continuous interior peripheral edge. In one embodiment, a license plate peripheral support wall extends rearward from a mounting or rear surface of the frame body. The peripheral support wall is sized and shaped to nest with a peripheral edge of a registration plate. The peripheral support wall may be setback from the interior peripheral edge forming a plate surface retention lip. One or more retention tabs extend inwardly from the support wall, each forming a gap between a tab exterior surface and the retention lip or the continuous peripheral edge. The registration plate is positioned between the tab exterior surface and the retention lip. The assembly is affixed to a vehicle by inserting fasteners through apertures in each of the registration plate and the retention tabs.
