Abstract
An improved antenna ball joint mount is provided that includes a hollow socket mechanically coupled to a spherical member with a locking part. The hollow socket and the spherical member are fully detachable to simplify the installation of an antenna. A user is able to set a position of the antenna to any point on a spherical sector surface within a range of motion allowed by a shape of joint components and rotate the antenna around own axis to adjust a polarization plane and then lock the mount in a predetermined position.
Claims24
An antenna ball joint mount comprising a hollow socket mechanically coupled to a spherical member with a locking part;
- the hollow socket and the spherical member are fully detachable to simplify the installation of an antenna;
- a user is able to set a position of the antenna to any point on a spherical sector surface within a range of motion allowed by a shape of joint components and rotate the antenna around own axis to adjust a polarization plane and then lock the mount in a predetermined position.
A ball joint mount comprising:
- a ball joint having a spherical member, a socket member, and a locking member, the spherical member and the locking member forming a first portion of the ball joint and the socket member forming a second portion of the ball joint;
- a mounting member;
- and
- a mounted member,
- wherein one of the first and second portions of the ball joint depend from the mounting member and the other of the first and second portions of the ball joint depend from the mounted member, and
- wherein the socket member has a first thread and the locking member has a second thread, the first and second are configured to threadably engage one another so as to secure the spherical member between the socket and locking members to prevent relative movement between mounting and mounted members.
