Patent attributes
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 includes a servomotor and a control linkage. The servomotor is adjacently mounted to the first mounting plate with the control linkage being mechanically engaged in between the servomotor and the second mounting plate. Activation of the servomotor positions the mount into either a functional configuration or a collapsed configuration.
