Abstract

A U-shaped holder made of a light flexible material having grooves in the inside walls and bottom thereof forming a slot to receive an automobile registration card or plate. Affixed to one face of the holder is a layer of flexible material coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive to facilitate securing the holder to the windshield of an automobile.

Claims

1. A holder for an automobile identification card or the like comprising a substantially U-shaped frame having a bottom leg and a pair of free standing, spaced apart, upright legs mounted at the ends thereof with an opening therebetween, said frame being made of a light, flexible material and the outside side walls of the upright legs and the bottom side of the bottom leg being grooved lengthwise of said legs to provide rigidity with lightness, means forming in the inside walls of said upright legs substantially co-planar grooves defining a slot within which an automobile identification card is adapted to be removably received, the depths of said grooves being so dimensioned that the slot defined thereby is substantially wider at the upper end thereof than the card to facilitate its entry thereinto, and then narrows gradually to a width only slightly greater than the card, and a layer of flexible material affixed to an outside wall of said frame and coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to enable it to be secured to a supporting surface with said card-receiving slot substantially parallel thereto.

2. A holder as defined in claim 1 together with a substantially rectangular card removably mounted in the grooves in the frame and displaying prominently thereon the license identification of an automotive vehicle.
