  • Patent number: 5995053
    Abstract: Antenna mounts to enable a conventional antenna to be securely attached to a motor vehicle, such as a standard pick-up truck, and electrically connected to a radio that is carried by the truck. To increase the strength of the antenna mounts and thereby reduce the possibility that the antenna will snap off when subjected to high winds and other loads, the mounts are located through an existing hole that is established in a wall which surrounds the bed of many pick-up trucks. In one case, where the antenna mount is substantially recessed within a cavity below the existing hole in the wall, a fastener secures the antenna mount to the bottom of the cavity. In another case, where the antenna mount is partially recessed within the cavity, a pair of L-shaped clips are attached between opposite sides of the antenna mount and the top of the wall.
