Abstract

Abstract An azimuth-elevation type antenna support comprising a stock and a mounting plate on which the antenna is fixed, the support being mounted on a base relative to which the antenna takes up a cantilevered position, the support being characterized in that the stock (31) comprises: at least one top half-collar (41) disposed around the base (10) and having its arms (46) extending towards the antenna, with a top strap (42) fixed to the top half-collar (41) in order to lock it on the base; a bottom half-collar (43) disposed around the base and having its arms (47) extending away from the antenna, with a bottom strap (44) fixed to the bottom half-collar (43) in order to lock it on the base; and two side risers (45) extending over a certain distance parallel to the axis of the base and each interconnecting the end portion of one of the arms (46) of the top half-collar (41) to the end portion of the bottom half-collar (43) located therebelow.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 144 words
An azimuth-elevation type antenna support comprising a stock and a mounting plate on which the antenna is fixed, said support being mounted on a base relative to which the antenna takes up a cantilevered position, wherein said stock comprises: at least one top half-collar disposed around the base and having arms extending towards the antenna, a top strap fixed to the top half-collar to lock said half-collar on said base; a bottom half-collar disposed around the base and having arms extending away from the antenna, a bottom strap fixed to the bottom half-collar and locking said bottom half-collar on the base; and two side risers extending over a certain distance parallel to the axis of the base and each side riser interconnecting the end portion of one of the arms of the top half-collar to the end portion of the bottom half-collar located therebelow.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 144 words
An azimuth-elevation type antenna support comprising a stock and a mounting plate on which the antenna is fixed, said support being mounted on a base relative to which the antenna takes up a cantilevered position, wherein said stock comprises: at least one top half-collar disposed around the base and having arms extending towards the antenna, a top strap fixed to the top half-collar to lock said half-collar on said base; a bottom half-collar disposed around the base and having arms extending away from the antenna, a bottom strap fixed to the bottom half-collar and locking said bottom half-collar on the base; and two side risers extending over a certain distance parallel to the axis of the base and each side riser interconnecting the end portion of one of the arms of the top half-collar to the end portion of the bottom half-collar located therebelow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
An antenna support according to claim 1, wherein each of the half-collar is disposed around about 180° of the base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
An antenna support according to claim 1, wherein each of the half-collar includes at least one internal cylindrical bearing surface of height and of angular extent which are less than those of the half-collar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
An antenna support according to claim 3, wherein each of the half-collar includes two cylindrical bearing surfaces symmetrically disposed relative to the arms thereof and at an angular spacing of about 90°.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
An antenna support according to claim 3, wherein the antenna support is constituted, apart from the two straps, essentially by a metal casting, and wherein said half-collar include machined bearing surfaces.
