Abstract
A mechanical assembly provides an attachment of an antenna tower to an antenna that includes back ring attached to an antenna reflector. The assembly includes a horizontal beam and a bracket. The bracket includes a first, e.g. planar, portion and a second, e.g. planar, portion that meet at a corner. The first portion is configured to fasten to the antenna back ring and the second portion is configured to attach to the horizontal beam. The second portion includes a pivot slot for receiving a first fastener connecting the bracket to the horizontal beam, and includes a circular hole for receiving a second fastener connecting the bracket to the horizontal beam.
Claims20
A mechanical assembly for attaching to a tower structure an antenna having a reflector and a back ring attached to the reflector, the assembly comprising:
- a horizontal beam;
- and
- a bracket having a first planar portion and a second planar portion that meet at a corner, the first planar portion being configured to fasten to said antenna back ring and said second planar portion being configured to attach to said horizontal beam,
- wherein said second planar portion includes a pivot slot for receiving a first fastener connecting said bracket to said horizontal beam, and includes a circular hole for receiving a second fastener connecting said bracket to said horizontal beam.
An antenna assembly configured to attach to a vertical beam, comprising:
- an antenna reflector;
- a back ring attached to said antenna reflector;
- a horizontal beam;
- and
- a bracket having a first portion and a second portion that meet at a corner, the first portion being configured to fasten to said antenna back ring and said second portion being configured to attach to said horizontal beam,
- wherein said second portion includes a pivot slot for receiving a first fastener connecting said bracket to said horizontal beam, and includes a circular hole for receiving a second fastener connecting said bracket to said horizontal beam.
A method of forming an antenna assembly for attaching to a vertical beam, comprising:
- providing a horizontal beam having an end plate and a bracket attached to said end plate, the bracket having a first planar portion and a second planar portion that meet at a corner, the first planar portion being configured to fasten to said antenna back ring and said second planar portion being configured to attach to said horizontal beam, wherein said second planar portion includes a pivot slot for receiving a first fastener, and includes a circular hole for receiving a second fastener;
- attaching said bracket to said second planar portion to said end plate of said horizontal beam via said first and second fasteners;
- and
- attaching said first planar portion to a back ring of an antenna reflector.
