Antenna mounting platform for mounting an antenna to a roof substrate

Abstract

An antenna roof mounting platform to which an antenna mount maybe fastened is provided. The antenna roof mounting platform is comprised of a wedge-shaped center section and flange like exterior sections. The wedge-shaped center section has defined portions for guiding an installer in the fastening of an antenna mount to a planar top side of the wedge-shaped center section. The wedge-shaped center section further includes defined portions in a vertical front face for inserting wire couplings. The flange-like exterior section is substantially flat allowing for roof shingles to be layered on top of the flange-like exterior section. The flange-like exterior section and the center section may be formed from a single piece of material, e.g., a sheet of metal formed pressed to create the center section having the defined portions. The antenna roof mounting platform allows for attachment of conventional antenna mountings to the planar top side of the wedge-like center section. Additionally, the antenna roof mounting platform provides for wire couplings for ease of installation of the antenna at a later time from when the antenna roof mounting platform is installed.
