Abstract
Small tilting trailers such as boat trailers and the like normally require license plates. This invention consists of a license plate holder pivotally secured for fore and aft swinging movement adjacent the rear of the trailer in the usual location and normally being held in the substantially vertical position by means of small return springs. An elongated roller is mounted across the base of the holder to facilitate the swinging movement if the roller strikes objects such as rock, etc. and also to facilitate the swinging movement if the roller contacts the ground surface when the trailer is in the tilt position.
