Abstract

An antenna mount is provided with a pivot base and a pivot saddle rotatably coupled to the pivot base by a pivot connection and at least one pivot arm connection. The pivot connection is provided with dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts seated within conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle, the conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts extending through the conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle to couple with the pivot base about a pivot axis.

Claims (22)

1. An antenna mount, comprising:

a pivot base;

a pivot saddle rotatably coupled to the pivot base by a pivot connection and at least one pivot arm connection;

the pivot connection provided with dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts seated within conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle, the conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts extending through the conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle to couple with the pivot base about a pivot axis;

the at least one pivot arm connection is an extension bolt extending between the pivot base and the pivot saddle; a first end of the extension bolt passing through a pivot slot of the pivot base; a second end of the extension bolt coupled to the pivot saddle by a conical countersunk head pivot arm bolt extending through a conical countersunk pivot arm bolt hole of the pivot saddle; the conical countersunk head pivot arm bolt aligned parallel to the pivot axis.

2. The antenna mount of claim 1 , further including a mounting bracket coupled to the pivot base; the mounting bracket provided with mounting grooves aligned parallel to the pivot axis.

3. The antenna mount of claim 1 , further including an elevation plate coupled to the pivot saddle; the elevation plate provided with an antenna mounting surface.

4. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the conical countersunk pivot arm bolt hole and one of the conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes are provided in the pivot saddle each with a countersink aligned with a common plane.

5. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the pivot base is provided with a partially circular cross section proximate the pivot slot, about the pivot axis; and washers with a circle arc segment face seat against the partially circular cross section on a front side and a back side of the pivot slot.

6. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts are coupled to opposing ends of a pivot connection hole extending through the pivot base.

7. The antenna mount of claim 6 , wherein the dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts are coupled to the pivot connection hole via threading.

8. An antenna mount, comprising:

a pivot base;

a pivot saddle rotatably coupled to the pivot base by a pivot connection provided between two pivot arm connections;

the pivot connection provided with dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts seated within conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle, the conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts extending through the conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes of the pivot saddle to couple with the pivot base about a pivot axis;

each of the pivot arm connections provided as an extension bolt extending between the pivot base and the pivot saddle; a first end of the extension bolt passing through a pivot slot of the pivot base; a second end of the extension bolt coupled to the pivot saddle by a conical countersunk head pivot arm bolt extending through a conical countersunk pivot arm bolt hole of the pivot saddle;

the conical countersunk head pivot arm bolt aligned parallel to the pivot axis.

9. The antenna mount of claim 8 , further including a mounting bracket coupled to the pivot base; the mounting bracket provided with mounting grooves aligned parallel to the pivot axis.

10. The antenna mount of claim 8 , further including an elevation plate coupled to the pivot saddle; the elevation plate provided with an antenna mounting surface.

11. The antenna mount of claim 8 , wherein the conical countersunk pivot arm bolt hole and the conical countersunk pivot connection bolt holes are provided in the pivot saddle each with a countersink aligned within a common plane.

12. The antenna mount of claim 8 , wherein the pivot base is provided with a partially circular cross section, proximate the pivot slot, about the pivot axis; and washers with a circle arc segment face seat against the partially circular cross section on a front side and a back side of the pivot slot.

13. The antenna mount of claim 8 , wherein the dual opposing conical countersunk head pivot connection bolts are coupled to opposing ends of a pivot connection hole extending through the pivot base.
