Abstract
Mount assemblies that include clamps that can clamp directly to external threads of a respective adjuster bolt to lock the adjuster bolt in a desired orientation and/or position and provide for triangulated adjustment allowing for increased alignment precision. The mount assemblies can be particularly suitable for locking an aligned antenna into a desired azimuth position.
Claims20
A mount assembly comprising:
- a pole clamp having cooperating first and second pole clamp members;
- an adjuster bolt comprising external threads coupled to the first pole clamp member;
- and
- an adjuster bolt clamp directly attachable to the external threads of the adjuster bolt to lock the adjuster bolt in a desired position.

A method of aligning an antenna attached or attachable to a pole, comprising:
- attaching a pole clamp of a mount assembly to the pole, the pole clamp having cooperating first and second pole clamp members;
- extending or retracting an azimuth adjuster bolt with threads relative to the first pole clamp member for azimuth adjustment;
- and
- applying a clamping force directly onto the threads of the adjuster bolt using a clamp to lock the mount assembly in a desired azimuth alignment position, optionally the applied clamping force is a circumferentially extending clamping force.
