Abstract
A tower or cupola-like covering for the protection of radio or television antennae against the weather is made in the form of a sectional casing with each section of the casing being attached only along its bottom or top edge to a supporting structure, with expansion joints between such edges that transmit no supporting forces. The construction eliminates compression or tension forces in the covering which might damage the same.
Claims17
A tower or cupola-like covering for the protection of antennae for electro-magnetic radiation against the weather, the antennae being fastened to supporting structure within the covering and the latter being in the form of a sectioned casing of weather-resistant material permeable to electromagnetic waves, characterized in that each casing section is attached at a location remote from one of its edges rigidly to the supporting structure within the covering and with said one edge being movable relative to the adjacent edge of an adjacent section, and in that the sections have weather-excluding expansion joints therebetween which transmit no supporting forces.
