  • Patent number: 11600898
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to mounts for antennas and radio equipment, and more particularly to mounts for antennas on and radio equipment on the top of a building or commercial structure. One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a sector frame. The sector frame may have a plurality of structural members, including antenna pipes for the mounting of electronic equipment, and a face pipe along which the antenna pipes are disposed. In some embodiments, the antenna pipes and the face pipe may form an antenna pipe array which is rotatable about three perpendicular axes. Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for adapting a sector frame to a substrate. The method includes the step of attaching an extension to a base of the sector frame, wherein a portion of the base of the sector frame is in contact with the substrate, and wherein a portion of the extension is in contact with the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20210376444
    Abstract: A collar mount for a base station monopole has a plurality of pressure members that surround the monopole. Threaded members are connected between adjacent pressure members to tighten the pressure members against the monopole. Pressure plates of the pressure members have a forward edge configured to engage the monopole at a pressure point. A dispersement plate is positioned at the pressure point where the dispersement plate is non-rigidly connected to the pressure plates. A second threaded member may connect the upper pressure plates of each two adjacent pressure members together. Each of the pressure members may include a plurality of pressure plates where the pressure plates have a width direction extending parallel to the monopole and a thickness direction extending perpendicular to the width direction where the width direction is larger than the thickness direction.

  • Publication number: 20190092104
    Abstract: A system in a device includes an electronic module configured to perform a function associated with the device, a power generation apparatus for generating electrical energy in response to motion of the device, and a switch element interposed between the electronic module and the power generation device. The switch element switches from a first state to a second state when the power generation apparatus generates the electrical energy. The electronic module is in a powered-off mode in which a power storage device is disconnected from the electronic module whenever the switch element is in the first state. The electronic module is switched to a powered-on mode in which the power storage device is in electrically connected to the electronic module whenever the switch element is in the second state.
