US Patent 7111420 Snap-in license plate bracket for automotive vehicle

A license plate bracket for an automotive vehicle includes a generally planar body having self-locking axially engageable retention structures extending from a rear side of the generally planar body. The retention structures allow the license plate bracket to be pushed into locking engagement with a front or rear module of a vehicle without the need for tools, while allowing the bracket to be removed subsequently without leaving any unsightly holes in the bodywork of the vehicle.
