ABSTRACT:
The invention is to a flexible connector for attaching license plates to a vehicle, where the license plate is subject to being hit or moved over objects that would damage the license plate. The connection incudes a spring and plunger in a main body. The plunger has a flexible arm formed thereon which has a key end that connects to a knob. The flexible arm extends through holes in the license plate and a mounting frame and holds the license plate secured to the frame by the knob attached to the key on the flexible arm. When the license plate is hit or moved, the plunger will compress the spring allowing the flexible arm to extend out of the body and flex sufficiently to allow the license plate to move with the force striking it.
