Abstract

A wireless communication casing is an apparatus that conceals wireless communication equipment while maintaining the signal communication between wireless communication equipment and corresponding wireless communication devices. The apparatus includes an upper capsule, a lower shroud, a tubular housing, a stopper, a mounting pole, a support post, and a pulley assembly. The upper capsule covers the tubular housing which surrounds the mounting pole. The lower shroud upholds and encloses the tubular housing. The stopper upholds the mounting pole above the support post. The mounting pole serves as a platform to mount wireless communication equipment. The support post elevates the mounting pole and consequently the wireless communication equipment above the ground. The pulley assembly raises and lowers the tubular housing and the lower shroud along the support post. The pulley assembly facilitates the accessibility of the wireless communication equipment.

Claims (82)

1. A wireless communication equipment casing comprising:

an upper capsule;

a lower shroud;

a housing comprising a first end and a second end;

a mounting pole;

a support post positioned collinear with the mounting pole;

a stopper connected between the mounting pole and the support post; and

a pulley assembly;

wherein the upper capsule is terminally mounted onto the mounting pole, opposite the stopper;

wherein the housing is positioned around the support post;

wherein the first end is oriented towards the upper capsule;

wherein the lower shroud is connected adjacent to the second end;

wherein the lower shroud is slidably mounted along the support post; and

wherein the upper capsule is tethered to the lower shroud by the pulley assembly.

2. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pulley assembly comprises:

a winch, a pulley, and a cable;

wherein the winch and the pulley are mounted within the upper capsule, the winch and the pulley are positioned offset from each other;

wherein a rotation axis of the pulley is oriented perpendicular to the mounting pole;

wherein a first end of the cable is fixed to the winch;

wherein a second end of the cable is fixed to the lower shroud;

wherein the cable is tensionably engaged by the pulley; and

wherein the cable traverses out of the upper capsule.

3. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper capsule comprises:

a lateral wall, a base plate, a collar, and a support pole;

wherein the lateral wall comprises an apex end and a base end;

wherein the lateral wall is a truncated conical shape;

wherein the support pole is connected adjacent to the mounting pole;

wherein the support pole is positioned collinear with the mounting pole;

wherein the base plate is laterally connected around the support pole, adjacent to the mounting pole;

wherein the collar is laterally connected around the support pole, offset from the base plate;

wherein the base end is peripherally connected to the base plate; and

wherein the collar is engaged by the apex end.

4. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 wherein the upper capsule comprises;

a lateral wall and an access hatch;

wherein the lateral wall is a truncated conical shape;

wherein the access hatch is operatively integrated into the lateral wall; and

wherein the access hatch provides access to an interior of the upper capsule.

5. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 wherein the upper capsule comprises:

a lateral wall, a ventilation hole, and an air-permeable cover;

wherein the ventilation hole traverses through the lateral wall;

wherein the air-permeable cover is positioned onto the ventilation hole; and

wherein the air-permeable cover is perimetrically connected to the lateral wall.

6. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 4 comprises:

wherein the upper capsule further comprises a trough; and

wherein the trough is mounted within the lateral wall, adjacent to the ventilation hole.

7. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

at least one divider plate;

wherein the at least one divider plate is laterally connected around the mounting pole.

8. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 7 comprises:

a plurality of ventilation holes;

wherein the plurality of ventilation holes traverse through the at least one divider plate.

9. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

wherein the stopper comprises an annular body and a retention plate, the annular body is terminally connected around the support post, the retention plate is centrally and adjacent to the mounting pole, and the annular body is peripherally connected to the retention plate.

10. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

wherein the support post comprises an annular base, the annular base and the stopper are positioned opposite to each other along the support post, and the annular base is laterally connected around the support post.

11. The wireless communication equipment easing as claimed in claim 10 comprises:

a waterproof shroud;

wherein the waterproof shroud is laterally connected around the annular base.

12. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a first set of vents;

wherein the first set of vents traverse out of the tubular housing and into the upper capsule.

13. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a second set of vents;

wherein the second set of vents traverses out of the tubular housing, through the stopper, and through the lower shroud.

14. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a wiring conduit;

wherein the wiring conduit traverses through the upper capsule, the mounting pole, the stopper, and the support post.

15. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

wherein the upper capsule, the tubular housing, and the lower shroud are in a closed configuration, the tubular housing is positioned against the upper capsule, and the lower shroud is attached around the stopper.

16. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

wherein the upper capsule, the tubular housing, and the lower shroud are in an open configuration, the tubular housing is positioned offset from the upper capsule; and the lower shroud is positioned offset from the stopper.

17. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a plurality of elongated lamps;

a support hub;

wherein the support hub being mounted adjacent to the upper capsule, opposite to the mounting pole and the plurality of elongated lamps are radially mounted around the support hub.

18. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

a solar panel assembly;

wherein the solar panel assembly comprises a support bracket and at least one solar panel;

wherein the at least one solar panel is positioned adjacent to the upper capsule, opposite to the mounting pole, and the at least one solar panel is mounted onto the upper capsule by the support bracket.

19. The wireless communication equipment casing as claimed in claim 1 comprises:
