Antenna mount with alternative uses
View Patent ↗An apparatus for holding an antenna on a mounting surface by use of suction cups or suction devices such that the antenna may be temporarily removed from the surface and subsequently restored or relocated to another mounting surface. The suction cups or suction devices are mechanically connected to an support arm capable of adjustment for permitting either vertical or horizontal modification of the holding arm thereby maintaining a constant mounting angle of the holding arm for surfaces having various mounting directions or planes. By maintaining a fixed vertical of the holding arm from various mounting points, the directional alignment of the antenna, such as for a dish-type antenna, can remain relatively consistent from one installation to the next.
1. A mounting system for an attached device comprising:
at least one suction cup for attaching the mounting system to a surface wherein the suction cup is connected to a handle area; and,
an arm assembly further comprising a mounting bracket and a support arm capable of rotation between horizontal and vertical and in a fixed plane, wherein the mounting bracket permits alignment of the support arm in the fixed plane, and wherein the mounting bracket is connected to the handle area and wherein the attached device is connected to the support arm.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one suction cup has increased suction activated by a lever.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the attached device is a flag pole.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the attached device is a table or shelf.
5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the attached device is a sign.
6. A mounting system for an antenna comprising:
at least one suction cup for attaching the mounting system to a surface wherein the suction cup is connected to a handle area; and,
an arm assembly further comprising a mounting bracket and a support arm capable of rotation between horizontal and vertical and in a fixed plane, wherein the mounting bracket permits alignment of the support arm in the fixed plane, and wherein the mounting bracket is connected to the handle area and wherein the antenna is connected to the support arm.
7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the antenna is a dish type antenna.
8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the number of suction cups is two.
9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the suction cups are capable of being attached to a vertical mounting surface and where the antenna points upwardly.
10. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the vertical mounting surface is attached to a motor home or recreational vehicle or other motorized vehicle.
11. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the vertical mounting surface is attached to an exterior structure of apartment complex or condominium.
12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the suction cups are capable of being attached to a horizontal mounting surface and where the antenna points upwardly.
13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the horizontal mounting surface is attached to a motor home or recreational vehicle or other motorized vehicle.
14. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the antenna is replaced by a flag pole.
15. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the antenna is replaced by a table or shelf.
16. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the antenna is replaced by a sign.
