Methods, systems, and apparatus for coupling a flag to a vehicle to display a message during transportation. In some implementations, a device includes an attachment rod and a flag. The attachment rod is configured to be coupled to at least two screw holes used to couple a license plate to a vehicle, the attachment rod having defined therein at least two openings configured to correspond to the at least two screw holes and each of the at least two openings is configured to receive one or more attachment components in order to couple the attachment rod to the at least two screw holes. The flag comprising an elongated opening defined therein for receiving a portion of the attachment rod through the elongated opening to couple the flag to the attachment rod.

A license plate cover assembly for enhancing visibility of a license plate in all conditions includes a license plate mount is attachable to a rear of a vehicle thereby facilitating a license plate to be retained on the vehicle. The license plate mount has a ledge extending over the license plate thereby shielding the license plate from snow and freezing rain to facilitate the license plate to be clearly visible at all times. A light emitter is attached to the ledge to emit light outwardly from the ledge. The light emitter is oriented to face the license plate to illuminate the license plate at night.

A license plate holder includes a base (1200) including a first connector (1205) for attaching the base (1200) to a vehicle, a transmissive substrate (1120) an a frame (1140) defining a central opening (1142) to permit display of indicia on at least one license plate display region (1162) of a license plate (1160) disposed between the base and the frame, the frame (1140) including at least one first rear connector (1600) disposed at a rear or peripheral portion of the frame to removably engage a corresponding at least one second rear connector (1500) disposed on the base (1200). The transmissive substrate (1120) and/or the frame (1140) further defines at least one display region (1146) adjacent the central opening (1142) of the frame (1140) and outside of the at least one license plate display region (1162). The transmissive substrate (1120) is attached to, or is removably attachable to, a front of the frame (1140) to at least substantially cover the front of the frame (1140).

A digital license plate comprising includes a display system capable of showing a first image and a power supply rail connected to the display system. A display controller is provided with a data connection to the display system and arranged to measure at least one of power consumption and impedance of the power supply rail. The display controller is further configured to prevent sending a second image to the display system if display failure is indicated by measured power consumption or impedance as being below a defined threshold.

A license plate holder includes a base having a connector for attaching the base to a vehicle, a transmissive substrate and a frame. The frame defines a central opening to permit display of indicia on a license plate display region of a license plate disposed between the base and the frame and further defining a frame display region adjacent the central opening, the frame including a rear connector comprising a snap-fit connector to matingly engage an adjacent portion of the base to secure the frame to the base. The transmissive substrate and/or the frame include a connector to removably attach the transmissive substrate to the frame with the transmissive substrate disposed at a front of the frame over the frame display region. A central region of the transmissive substrate is positioned over the license plate display region of the frame and a peripheral region of the transmissive substrate is positioned over the frame display region of the frame to cover the frame display region.

To permit easy reduction of a large-type rear fender or the like and to realize easy enhancement of appearance quality and mounting/detaching operability in the periphery of a license plate. A caliper bracket that is rotatably supported together with a rear wheel and that supports a rear wheel brake caliper is provided. The caliper bracket supports a license plate stay to which a license plate is attached.

A license plate bracket. The license plate bracket includes a frame having a front wall, a rear wall, and a sidewall extending therebetween, defining a channel therein. An opening is disposed along an upper side of the frame providing access to the channel. A first cutout is disposed in the front wall, the first cutout placed such that it can expose identifying information of a license plate disposed within the channel. A plurality of fasteners are affixed to the front wall at each corner thereof, the plurality of fasteners able to removable secure the frame to a support surface.

The present invention provides a frame for attaching a license plate or novelty plate to a vehicle, which frame includes a series of ornaments. The frame is constructed to enable an easy method of inserting and retaining the ornaments in the frame. The substantially rectangular frame surrounds an area suitable for viewing the plate when the frame is held adjacent to the plate by fasteners attaching the frame and the plate to the vehicle. A channel formed in the frame is suitable for receiving multiple ornaments. Assembly of the frame is particularly easy when the channel is accessible from the back of the frame. Dividing bars in the channel separate adjacent ornaments at desired intervals, while allowing the ornaments to be viewed from the front of the frame. A retaining mechanism holds the ornaments in the channel. A stopping mechanism prevents the ornaments from exiting the frame.

License plates can no longer be stolen when this application is put into use. When the license plate is bolted into the vehicle plate holes using a smooth exterior round bolt with no slot on the head, the bolt is secured and cannot be removed from the exterior of the vehicle.

A vehicle information display system includes a digital license plate attachable to a vehicle and having a display able to present electronically readable visual information. This electronically readable visual information is usable to facilitate provision of services, including but not limited to vehicle rental or providing vehicle access to authorized service providers.
