An autonomous flip-up license plate mount for motorcycles that improves the aesthetics of a motorcycle while ensuring a license plate is properly displayed during use of the motorcycle. The mount includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, an automatic pivoting mechanism, and a hinge mechanism. A first end of the first mounting plate is connected along the hinge mechanism. Additionally, the hinge mechanism is connected along a rear surface of the second mounting plate, allowing for relative rotation about a main axis of the hinge mechanism. The automatic pivoting mechanism is a motorized system used to rotate the second mounting plate about the hinge mechanism. Accordingly, the automatic pivoting mechanism is operatively coupled between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. Thus, activation of the automatic pivoting mechanism positions the mount into either a functional configuration or a collapsed configuration.

According to the invention, at least two number plate panels are accommodated in the packing container, and the packing container is provided with a container identification means in which the information respectively encrypted in the panel identification means of the at least two number plate panels is recorded at least partially.

The invention further relates to a method for operating an embossing press configured for embossing number plate panels, using such a packing container.

A vehicle body includes a cross member that is provided on a floor panel and has a hole, and a nameplate that is joined to an inner face of the cross member. At least a part of the nameplate is exposed from the hole. A hardness of the nameplate is lower than a hardness of the steel plate used in the cross member, and a vehicle identification number is stamped in an area of the nameplate, the area being exposed from the hole.

A vehicle camera peripheral. It has a frame having a surface for supporting a license plate, at least one compartment for containing a battery and a circuit board having a wireless transmitter and video transmission circuitry, the compartment provided in the frame and positioned behind the license plate supporting surface, a camera mounted to the frame and connected to the circuit board, and a mounting for connecting the frame to existing license plate fastening devices of a vehicle.

The present invention relates generally to illuminated display devices and methods of displaying indicia, advertisements, etc. on a changeable illuminated display. The display device comprises a frame structure, a plurality of openings formed in the frame structure, the plurality of openings comprising first and second open spaces disposed at top and bottom positions, respectively, of the frame structure, and the plurality of openings further comprising a third open space disposed between the first and second open spaces. The display device further comprises a compact image display device operable to display an image, the compact image display device held and positioned relative to the frame structure such that first, second, and third different portions of the image, when displayed by the compact image display device, are visible through the plurality of openings first, second, and third open spaces, respectively. Additionally, control circuitry is coupled to the compact image display device.

A fastener for attaching a license plate to a vehicle includes a receiver having a shank portion and a head portion defining a recess, and an insert having a shank portion configured to be received within the recess defined by the head portion of the receiver and a head portion defining a recess for receiving a release mechanism within an interior of the shank portion and the head portion of the insert. The shank portion of the receiver is configured to secure the receiver to the vehicle. The shank portion of the insert is received within the recess defined by the head portion of the receiver with the license plate disposed between the head portion of the receiver and the head portion of the insert. A detent element of the release mechanism engages the head portion of the receiver to attach the license plate and the insert to the receiver and the vehicle. The release mechanism is depressed to release the detent element from the head portion of the receiver to remove the license plate and the insert from the receiver.

Adjustable license plate brackets for vehicles comprising a first bracket element that is secured to a vehicle; a second bracket element having an upper end to be connected to a license plate and a lower end disposed upon the first end of the first bracket element; and a third bracket element having an upper end to be connected to a license plate and a lower end disposed upon the second end of the first bracket element. The second bracket element and the third bracket element are configured to be connected to the first bracket element at a plurality of positions, implemented using an elongated aperture with a plurality of notches into which a bracket element connector can be inserted, respective so that a distance between the upper ends of the second and the third bracket elements varies to accommodate license plates with different sizes.

A hardware hider cap assembly is provided for covering a fastener, and more specifically, covering a fastener head. The hider cap assembly can include a base member with an opening for receiving the fastener and a cap member releasably coupled to the base member via a threaded engagement. The cap member can include a tab or protrusion configured to engage with a notch in the base member, thereby preventing overtightening of the cap member onto the base member.
