  • Patent number: 11937027
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The mount includes a stabilization frame having a bottom and at least three sides, the bottom and sides defining an open interior cavity, at least one mounting member perpendicular to one of the sides of the stabilization frame and extending outwardly from the side of the stabilization frame a distance, and at least one brace member. The at least one brace member includes a first bracket coupled to one side of the stabilization frame and configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member and a second bracket extending outwardly from the same side of the stabilization frame at an angle. A first end of the second bracket is coupled to a lower end of the first bracket and a second opposing end of the second bracket is configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member at a different location than the first bracket.

  • Patent number: 11276914
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes antenna mounts. An antenna mount may include a base, a main pole coupled to or integral with the base and extending upwardly from the base, a cross-support pole coupled to a top end of the main pole and oriented perpendicular relative to the main pole, and at least one mounting pole coupled to or integral with the cross-support pole and extending upwardly from the cross-support pole. Each mounting pole may be configured to secure an antenna to the antenna mount. The antenna mount may be configured to be installed and stand adjacent to or flush against an exterior wall of a building and carry the load weight of the antennas to and through the base of the antenna mount to a ground surface and away from the exterior wall of the building. Antenna mount assemblies are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6883317
    Abstract: An adjustable turbocharger wastegate controller suitable for after-market installation is disclosed. The invention makes use of the existing factory wastegate mechanism to form a fully adjustable turbine-inlet pressure relief. The factory wastegate valve assembly and the wastegate lever-arm connected to the wastegate shaft are utilized. The invention extends the lever-arm, and applies seating pressure to the valve with a spring assembly using a substantially lower spring-rate than the factory assembly. The spring loading is adjustable over a very wide range, and improved pressure regulation is achieved.
