No, it is not sprung.  I used a piano hinge mounted to the standard plate
mount and an aluminum bar 3/4 inch by 1/8 inch that extends past the plate
to which is mounted the "ears" or tabs for the month and year stickers.

Bruce - I can't remember:

 

Is your hinge sprung?  What hinge did you use?

I actually designed something similar using a piano hinge and nylon drawer
rollers on the bottom of the plate so that it tilts up and rolls when it
encounters the pavement.  At least when going forward.backing up, not so
much.

You joke but I actually hinged my back plate with a spring loaded door
hinge. It can be adjusted as tight or loose as you like. You would never
know by looking at it that it is any different.
