A visual deceleration indicator signals to pedestrians and other vehicles that a vehicle is slowing down or coming to a stop. Illuminating devices, such as LEDs, contained in a license plate frame located in the front of the car or otherwise, are activated when the vehicle decelerates. An accelerometer or other sensory device detects deceleration and sends a signal to illuminate the LEDs, thereby letting others know the vehicle is slowing down. The license plate frame may be connected directly to a rear brake light component without the use of accelerometers or other sensors. When the brake is applied, the LEDs in the license plate frame are illuminated. The LEDs may be contained in other forms and located in different positions on the front or side of the car. The indicator might be one color to indicate braking and another color to indicate it is on, but not braking.

A blocker for preventing ice and snow from being collected on a license plate of a vehicle. The blocker has a first side, a second side and a top. The first side and the second side are triangular in shape and preferably substantially similar. The top is rectangular and is preferably eleven (11) inches in length. The top is coupled to the first side and the second side. The blocker is coupled to the license plate holder and thus protecting the license plate. There is a window in each of the first side, second side and top. The window in the first side and the window in the second side are triangular in shape and preferably translucent. The window in the top is rectangular in shape and preferably five and one-half (5.5) inches in length. The top may also have one or more solar panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy.

A customizable and illuminated license plate frame, the frame includes a perimeter section having a receiving cavity for receiving a license plate of a vehicle; a second frame member pivotably connected with the perimeter section and having an opening and a plurality of fastening apertures arranged around the opening; a translucent panel detachably coupled on the opening of the second frame member and operable to press against the license plate; at least one hinge operational between the perimeter second and the second frame member; a plurality of tiles detachably attached on the fastening apertures of the second frame member; and a plurality of LED light arranged on the second frame member to illuminate the tiles and the license plate.

An anti-theft license plate display and secure storage device may be provided by a lockable security vault with a first sensor sensing the presence of a vehicle access component within the vault while a communication interface is operable to transmit vault location and locked status signals along with a vehicle access component presence status signal and receive at least an authenticated unlocking command to unlock the vault allowing a user to retrieve the vehicle access component when stored therein with a beacon also periodically or continuously announcing the vehicle access component presence status outside the vault for receipt by a mobile communication device passing by within a predetermined range.

The present invention describes a segmented license plate connection mechanism. The device comprises a conventional display device, which enables a personalized message, image, or video to be displayed adjacent to the entire perimeter of the license plate. A static image may be inserted into the decal enclosure, and is secured by decal stabilization clip. The display device also comprises a USB inlet and source of power that enables users to upload custom media.

A system and method for installing a tag is provided. The system and method of the present disclosure are generally designed to allow a user to internally install a tag within their vehicle in a way that prevents theft. The system generally comprises a safety window, sleeve, and holder. A tag may be attached to a holder and inserted into the sleeve in a way that allows the tag to be viewed on the exterior of the vehicle through the safety window. The system may also comprise a mechanical fastener that secures the holder within the sleeve.

A board structure for a cable passing therethrough includes a board body and a grommet. The board body includes a board hole and a first inner protrusion portion. A minimum diameter of the board hole is a diameter located corresponding to the first inner protrusion portion of the board hole. The grommet is made of an elastic material and disposed in the board hole. The grommet includes a grommet hole and an outer annular wall. The outer annular wall is connected to the first inner protrusion portion. The grommet hole is for the cable passing therethrough and coaxially disposed with the board hole. A diameter of the grommet hole is smaller than the minimum diameter of the board hole.

A vanity plate assembly includes a plate that has indicia printed thereon. A strip is positionable against the plate. A pair of brackets is provided and each of the brackets releasably engages the strip. A pair of fasteners is each extendable through the plate, the strip and the brackets for coupling the plate, the strip and the brackets together. A pair of couplers is provided and each of the couplers releasably engages a respective one of the brackets. Each of the couplers releasably engages a respective one of a pair of chain supports on a hitch receiver of a vehicle. In this way the plate is suspended beneath the hitch receiver without interfering with using the hitch receiver.

The invention is a cover for a vehicle license tag made of a clear shatter resistant synthetic polymer plastic covered in the inside with a polarized sheet of plastic material similar to what is used to protect contents on computer screens from prying eyes. The plastic privacy screen, will be affixed to the bumper with screws. The privacy screen prevents viewing from the top or bottom at angles of 30 degrees or greater while permitting the tag to be viewed if looked straight on.
