  • Patent number: 11619082
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a monopole door hinge assembly. The assembly may comprise a monopole comprising a door, the monopole and door both having an interior surface, and a plurality of hinges. Each hinge may comprise a base member configured to be secured to the interior surface of the monopole; and a rib member having a supporting portion and a mounting portion, the supporting portion having an arcuate profile that corresponds to an arcuate profile of the interior surface of the door and the mounting portion is pivotably attached to the base member. The base member of each hinge is mounted to the interior surface of the monopole and the supporting portion of each hinge is mounted to the interior surface of the door, thereby securing the door to the monopole.

  • Patent number: 10122064
    Abstract: A mount for an antenna includes: first and second generally C-shaped arms, each with upper and lower free ends; equipment face mounting brackets mounted on the first and second arms; and lower and upper plates mounted to a post. The upper free ends of the first and second arms are pivotally mounted to the upper plate, and the lower free ends of the first and second arms are pivotally mounted to the lower plate, such that the first and second arms are movable between retracted and extended positions. The first and second arms are fixed in the extended position relative to the upper and lower plate via fasteners inserted through holes in the upper and lower free ends of the arms and in the upper plate, the pivotal mounts and the holes defining a desired angle between the first and second arms in the extended position.

  • Patent number: 9853346
    Abstract: An antenna mount includes first and second tower mounting brackets. A first frame has first and second portions attached to the first and second tower mounting brackets, respectively. A second frame has third and fourth portions attached to the first and second tower mounting brackets, respectively. First and second equipment brackets are attached to the first frame, and third and fourth equipment brackets are attached to the second frame. Optionally, the first and second frames may each be formed as a one-piece continuous bent tube. Optionally, the first portion and the third portion are located side-by-side and clamped to the first tower bracket by a same first clamp, and the second portion and the fourth portion are located side-by-side and clamped to the second tower bracket by a same second clamp.
