Abstract

To provide an installation structure and an installation method of a communication equipment to reduce a number of components of the equipment and make the installation work easy. A communication equipment and an installation structure of the communication equipment to be installed, e.g., outdoors is provided. A handle for carrying the communication equipment also serves as a fixation component of the communication equipment. A method for installation of a communication equipment comprises providing an inclined portion formed at a part of bottom surface of a communication equipment and keeping the communication equipment in a forward-inclined position temporarily with the assistance of the inclined shape portion when the communication equipment is set on a fixation mount to fix the communication equipment preparatory to installation.

Claims (11)

1. An installation structure of an outdoor communication equipment for installing said outdoor communication equipment, wherein said installation structure is adapted for installing said outdoor communication equipment on a fixation mount and the structure comprising: a handle formed on the outdoor communication equipment for carrying the outdoor communication equipment, wherein said handle is provided with holes, and wherein said outdoor communication equipment is fixed to the fixation mount by using the holes of the handle, and wherein said outdoor communication equipment has an inclined shape portion at a part of a bottom surface of the outdoor communication equipment, the bottom surface being perpendicular to a surface on which the handle is formed.

2. The installation structure of the outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 1 , wherein the handle for carrying the outdoor communication equipment comprises the holes for fixation screws at a position corresponding to a screw fixation portion provided on the fixation mount to fix the outdoor communication equipment.

3. The installation structure of the outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 1 , wherein the inclined shape portion is formed to keep the outdoor communication equipment in a stable forward-inclined position temporarily when the outdoor communication equipment is set on the fixation mount preparatory to installation.

4. The installation structure of the outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 3 , wherein a profile of the inclined shape portion of the outdoor communication equipment is linear or curved.

5. The installation structure of the outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 1 , wherein the handle for carrying the outdoor communication equipment is U-shaped or rectangular shaped for gripping.

6. An outdoor communication equipment comprising:

a handle formed on the outdoor communication equipment for carrying the outdoor communication equipment, wherein said handle is provided with holes, and wherein said outdoor communication equipment is mounted to a fixation mount by using the holes of the handle, and wherein said outdoor communication equipment has an inclined shape portion at a part of a bottom surface of the outdoor communication equipment, the bottom surface being perpendicular to a surface on which the handle is formed.

7. The outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 6 , wherein said handle comprises the holes for fixation screws at a position corresponding to the screw fixation portion provided on the fixation mount to fix the outdoor communication equipment.

8. The outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 6 , wherein the inclined shape portion is formed to keep the outdoor communication equipment in a stable forward-inclined position temporarily when the outdoor communication equipment is set on the fixation mount preparatory to installation.

9. The outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 8 , wherein a profile of the inclined shape portion of the outdoor communication equipment is linear or curved.

10. The outdoor communication equipment as defined in claim 6 , wherein said handle is U-shaped or rectangular shaped for gripping.
