Abstract
A mast navigation light includes a base assembly affixable to a surface, a pivot mechanism secured to the base assembly, a mast coupled at a proximal end with the pivot mechanism, and a light secured to a distal end of the mast. The pivot mechanism is configured to effect pivoting of the mast about at least two axes.
Claims21
A mast navigation light comprising:
- a base assembly affixable to a surface;
- a pivot mechanism secured to the base assembly;
- a mast coupled at a proximal end with the pivot mechanism;
- and
- a light secured to a distal end of the mast,
- wherein the pivot mechanism comprises:
- a cap coupled with the base assembly and rotatable relative to the base assembly about a first axis in a circumferential slot of the base assembly, and
- a T-post coupled with the cap and pivotable relative to the cap about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis,
- wherein the mast is connected to the T-post such that the pivot mechanism is configured to effect pivoting of the mast about at least the first and second axes without detaching the mast or the pivot mechanism from the base assembly.
