ABSTRACT:
A resilient mounting mechanism for suspending vehicle tail lights from a vehicle comprises a transverse mounting bracket in which the vehicle tail lights are mounted and a resilient suspension mechanism for suspending the mounting bracket from the vehicle for deflection in a forward, backward, or either sideways direction when the mounting bracket encounters an obstruction. The mounting bracket preferably comprises a mounting plate having raised edges around the periphery thereof that protect the vehicle tail lights from striking an obstruction. The resilient suspension mechanism comprises one or more spring members attaching the mounting plate to the vehicle. The spring member holds the mounting bracket in a substantially stable position during normal conditions but permits deflection when the mounting plate strikes an obstruction. In one embodiment, an elastic damper covers the spring member to further restrict vibration of the mounting bracket and enhances the stability of the tail light assembly.
