  • Mounting and alignment bracket assembly for communication equipment
    Patent number: 7380761
    Abstract: A bracket is provided for mounting and aligning communication equipment. The bracket includes at least one pivot joint mechanically coupled between the communication equipment and a mounting structure. At least one curved arm is connected to the communication equipment. The arm describes an arc of a circle having any point along a length of the arc substantially equidistant from the pivot joint. A plane of the arc is substantially perpendicular to a rotational axis of the pivot joint. A clamp is connected to the mounting structure, and is configured to clamp the arm along a length thereof. A locking mechanism locks the clamp to the arm to prevent rotation of the communication equipment.
