Removable antenna mount

Claim 2

An antenna mount for use with a vehicle having a closure member which can be selectively opened and closed, comprising a substantially flat base member, means for mounting said base member on the vehicle in a fixed position underlying a portion of the closure member, said base member having at least one passageway, a body member selectively connected to said base member, said body member having inner, intermediate and outer portions, said inner portion including at least one finger means of a size to be slidably received within the passageway of said base member, said intermediate portion of said body member being elongated and extending outwardly at an angle to said inner portion for positioning adjacent to the vehicle closure member so that the closure member locks said body member to said base member, and said outer portion of said body member having means for receiving a portion of an antenna, whereby said body member is selectively mounted on said base member in a position to support an antenna exteriorly of the vehicle or said body member may be selectively removed from said base member so that no portion of said antenna mount or the antenna is visible when the closure member is closed.

Claim 3

The structure of claim 1 in which said base member has a pair of spaced generally parallel passageways and said body member has a pair of finger means which are selectively cooperatively received within said passageways.

Claim 4

A selectively separable antenna mount for mounting a transceiver antenna on an automobile having a trunk lid and a trunk lid well, said antenna mount comprising a base member having a pair of spaced generally parallel passageways, means for mounting said base member within the trunk well of the automobile in a position underlying a portion of the trunk lid, a body member having inner, intermediate and outer portions, said inner portion of said body member being generally U-shaped with substantially parallel arms disposed in horizontal planes, the lower arm being bifurcated for cooperative sliding engagement with the passageways of said base member, the upper arm of said inner portion extending outwardly beyond the trunk lid, said intermediate portion having a section disposed generally vertically and located adjacent to the trunk lid when the trunk lid is closed, said outer portion having an opening of a size to receive a portion of an antenna, whereby when said trunk lid is open said body member may be selectively attached to or removed from said base member and when said body member and base member are in assembled relationship and the trunk lid is closed, the trunk lid locks said body member in assembled relationship with said base member.

Claim 5

A selectively separable antenna mount for mounting a transceiver antenna on an automobile having a trunk lid and a trunk lid well, said antenna mount comprising a base member having a pair of spaced generally parallel passageways, means for mounting said base member within the trunk well of the automobile in a position underlying a portion of the trunk lid, a body member having inner, intermediate and outer portions, said inner portion of said body member being generally U-shaped with substantially parallel arms disposed in horizontal planes, the lower arm being bifurcated for cooperative sliding engagement with the passageways of said base member, the upper arm of said inner portion extending outwardly beyond the trunk lid, said intermediate portion having a section disposed generally vertically and located adjacent to the trunk lid when the trunk lid is closed, said outer portion having an opening of a size to receive a portion of an antenna, whereby when said trunk lid is open said body member may be selectively attached to or removed from said base member and when said body member and base member are in assembled relationship and the trunk lid is closed, the trunk lid locks said body member in assembled relationship with said base member.
