derailleur hanger
Explanation:
See http://derailleurhanger.com/?ppcseid=2094&ppcsekeyword=derai... and the Dutch and English versions of http://www.derks-wielersport.nl/p12544/derailleur-rear-hange...

This part of a bicycle is a beast by the way in terms of terminology (probably there are also hordes who call this a "derailleur pad" in English...)

A not completely relevant, but related term can be found here http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_dutch/mechanics_mech_en... ...and who knows, maybe that plate was meant to be a pad as well...
Good luck ;)

agree  Ken Cox: Nice refs. Do you wrench bikes in your spare time, or have you perhaps had occasion to become well acquainted with derailleur hangers?
