Abstract

The present invention relates to a clamping apparatus for an antenna device and, particularly, to a clamping apparatus comprising: two or more clamping block bodies tightly combined to occupy a part of the outer surface of a support pole having a horizontal cross section in various shapes; and a clamping band coupled so as to pass through the two or more clamping block bodies, the clamping band coupling by fastening the two or more clamping block bodies to the outer surface of the support pole, wherein each of the two or more clamping block bodies has a detachable clamping gear plate having gear teeth which come in close contact with the outer surface of the support pole, thereby providing the advantage of enhancing general use with respect to replacement installation.

Claims (27)

1 . A clamping apparatus for an antenna device, comprising:

two or more clamping block bodies each closely attached and combined to occupy some of an outer surface of a support pole that has extended to be orthogonal to an installation surface thereof; and

a clamping band configured to simultaneously penetrate the two or more clamping block bodies, wherein at least some of the clamping band closely attaches and combines the two or more clamping block bodies on the outer surface of the support pole by coming into contact with the outer surface of the support pole,

wherein a clamping gear plate having gear teeth closely attached to the outer surface of the support pole is detachably provided in each of the two or more clamping block bodies,

wherein the two or more clamping block bodies each comprise:

an edge block closely attached to the outer surface of the support pole and having an inner end provided with at least one horizontal installation slit for attaching and detaching and installing the clamping gear plate; and

a connection block in which a medium installation part that is horizontally extended from both ends of the edge block to an outside and mediates an installation of an antenna device has been extended and formed.

2 . The clamping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the clamping band, which corresponds to a portion between the two or more clamping block bodies, is closely attached to the outer surface of the support pole in a tightening way.

3 . The clamping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the support pole comprises any one of a circle, a triangle, a quadrangle, and a hexagon.

4 . The clamping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal installation slit comprises two upper horizontal installation slit and lower horizontal installation slit that are spaced apart from each other up and down at an inner end of the edge block adjacent to the outer surface of the support pole.

5 . The clamping apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the clamping gear plate comprises an upper gear plate and a lower gear plate that are installed in the upper horizontal installation slit and the lower horizontal installation slit that have been formed to be spaced apart from each other up and down, respectively.

6 . A clamping apparatus for an antenna device, comprising:

two or more clamping block bodies each closely attached and combined to occupy some of an outer surface of a support pole that has extended to be orthogonal to an installation surface thereof; and

a clamping band configured to simultaneously penetrate the two or more clamping block bodies, wherein at least some of the clamping band closely attaches and combines the two or more clamping block bodies on the outer surface of the support pole by coming into contact with the outer surface of the support pole,

wherein a clamping gear plate having gear teeth closely attached to the outer surface of the support pole is detachably provided in each of the two or more clamping block bodies,

wherein:

a gear top land that protrudes in a direction toward the outer surface of the support pole and a gear bottom land that is depressed in a direction in which the gear bottom land becomes distant from the outer surface of the support pole are repeated and formed in the gear teeth of the clamping gear plate, and

a virtual line that connects front ends of the gear top lands of the gear teeth of the clamping gear plate is formed in a shape corresponding to the outer surface of the support pole.

7 . The clamping apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a band installation hole that has been penetrated so that the band installation hole has a center of the support pole as a concentric circle for a penetration and combination of the clamping band is formed in the edge block.

8 . The clamping apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the clamping band comprises:

a band part configured to penetrate the band installation hole and to closely attach the clamping block body to the support pole upon tightening and fastening; and

a fixing part configured to fix the band part after generating a predetermined tightening force to the band part.

9 . The clamping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clamping block body occupies a cross section of a part of the outer surface that is formed by a horizontal cross-sectional shape of the support pole, wherein two or more clamping block bodies are installed to be adjacent to each other or spaced apart from each other.

10 . The clamping apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the support pole comprises any one of a circle, a triangle, a quadrangle, and a hexagon, and

the clamping gear plate comprises a standardized mounting portion and a contact portion having gear teeth, wherein the mounting portion maintains identical dimensions and configuration regardless of the support pole shape, while the contact portion is adaptable to conform to the specific horizontal cross-sectional shape of the support pole.

11 . The clamping apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a length between an outer end of the upper gear plate at which the gear teeth have been formed and an inner end of the upper gear plate, which is disposed within the horizontal installation slit, and a length between an outer end of the lower gear plate at which the gear teeth have been formed and an inner end of the lower gear plate, which is disposed within the horizontal installation slit, are different so that the clamping block body is tilted and installed.
