Abstract
An antenna support for mounting one or more antenna on a support structure such as a tower. The antenna support includes a framework mountable to the structure, and an antenna mounting support assembly coupled to the framework. The antenna mounting support assembly is configured to mount the antenna in a fashion to be adjustable in a multitude of directions relative to the support structure, such that the mounted antenna may be tuned by an installer by adjustments in these directions.
Claims15
In combination:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- an antenna support for installation on a structure, the antenna support comprising:
- a framework mountable to the structure;
- an antenna mounting support means, coupled to said framework, for mounting the antenna to be adjustable in a plurality of directions relative to said framework, whereby the mounted antenna is tunable by adjustments in said plurality of directions wherein said antenna mounting support means comprises:
- at least one elongated antenna support component having a longitudinal axis in the direction of the elongation;
- means for connecting the antenna support component to said framework such that the antenna support component is longitudinally adjustably relative to said framework, and
- at least one means for mounting the antenna connected to the antenna support component,
- whereby the antenna is tunable by longitudinal adjustments of the antenna support component.

In combination:
- at least one antenna;
- an antenna support for installation on a structure, the combination comprising:
- a framework mountable to the structure
- an antenna mounting support means, coupled to said framework, for mounting the antenna to be adjustable in a plurality of directions relative to said framework, whereby the mounted antenna is tunable by adjustments in said plurality of directions, wherein said antenna mounting support means comprises:
- at least one elongated combination component comprising a longitudinal axis in the direction of the elongation, wherein said longitudinal axis is disposed substantially horizontally when the antenna support is operationally installed on the structure;
- means for connecting the antenna support component to said framework such that the antenna support component is rotationally adjustable about said longitudinal axis, and
- at least one means for mounting the antenna connected to the antenna support component,
- whereby the antenna is tunable by rotational adjustments of the antenna support component about said longitudinal axis.
5 more elements
In combination:
- a tower including a ring shaped flange with a plurality of fastener receiving bores therein:
- and
- an antenna support for installation on the tower, said antenna support comprising:
- a framework comprising a mounting collar structured to engage the tower, said mounting collar including a plurality of arcuate slots concentrically arranged and alignable with the fastener receiving bores, and
- means for mounting an antenna coupled to said framework,
- whereby the antenna support and thereby the antenna may be adjustably rotated within the confines of the arcuate slots when fasteners inserted therethrough are in a loosened condition, after which the fasteners may be tightened to secure the combination in a desired position.
