Patent number: 10294688Abstract: A tiltable telescoping support structure positioning system includes a frame having first and second opposed vertical sections. A telescoping support structure is disposed between the first and second opposed vertical sections, the telescoping support structure having a plurality of telescoping sections extendable from a base section along a longitudinal axis thereof. The base section of the telescoping support structure is tiltably coupled to the first and second opposed vertical sections to permit the base section to tilt along a first tilt path towards either of the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame. A tilting mechanism is coupled between the base section of the telescoping support structure so as to tilt the telescoping support structure about a second tilt path aligned perpendicular to the tilt path between the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: US Tower CorporationInventors: Robert E. Gorney, Kenneth Pereira, Jason Timothy Wadlington

Publication number: 20190044011Abstract: A deployable solar array is built in a rectangular frame. First and second pairs of end-support members are mounted to opposite ends of the frame rotatable from a stowed position to a deployed position. A plurality of solar panel assemblies including a plurality of photovoltaic solar cell arrays are vertically stacked in stowed positions within the rectangular frame and are individually moveable along and supported by the end support members from their stowed positions to deployed positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Kenneth Pereira, Jason Timothy Wadlington, Bruce Kopitar, Mike Huerta

Patent number: 10012004Abstract: A multi-axial telescoping support structure positioning system includes a frame having first and second opposed vertical sections. An axle is rotatably coupled to the first vertical section of the frame. A first rotary actuator has a first end mounted to the second vertical section of the frame and a second end rotatable with respect to the first end attached to the axle to rotate the axle. A telescoping support structure has a plurality of telescoping sections extendable from a base section along a longitudinal axis. A second rotary actuator is attached to the base section of the telescoping support structure at an intermediate position along the length of the base section and to the axle at a position between the first and second vertical sections of the frame to tilt the telescoping support structure about a tilt axis aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the telescoping support structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: US Tower Corp.Inventors: Robert E. Gorney, Kenneth Pereira, Jason Timothy Wadlington

Patent number: 9371663Abstract: An extruded mast section for a telescoping tower includes a hollow extrusion having an exterior surface and an interior surface, and a plurality of spaced apart axially aligned internal screw bosses running the length of the mast section. A telescoping tower assembly includes a first extruded mast section having an exterior surface and an interior surface and a plurality of spaced apart axially aligned internal screw bosses running the length of the first mast section along the interior surface. A second extruded mast section disposed within the first mast section has a plurality of spaced apart axially aligned internal screw bosses running the length of the second mast section along the interior surface. Support collars are disposed at the top and bottom ends of the second mast section each having keyways disposed around its outer perimeter and aligned with a different one of the screw bosses of the first extruded mast section.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: US Tower CorporationInventors: Kenneth Pereira, Jason Timothy Wadlington
