ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an elegant automotive accessory which includes a fortified, rigid projection (23) capable of bearing a substantial load such as an integral extended ledge, surface, lever or lip on one portion of a license plate frame (12) mounted on a vehicle such as a car, van or truck. This fortified, rigid projection or surface (23) provides a safe, convenient handle that is especially designed to enable the user to open and to close a trunk deck lid (DL) of an automobile (A). Although the preferred embodiment (10F) of the present invention utilizes an integral load-bearing projecting surface (23F) formed into a license plate frame (12), alternative embodiments may employ separate handles (28) or knobs (40). These separate rigid and firmly-coupled projections that are not integrally formed with a license plate frame may be directly coupled or affixed to other portions of the door which it will be used to open and close.
