  • Patent number: 4169575
    Abstract: A mounting for a radio antenna which enables the antenna to be easily mounted on and demounted from the edge of the trunk lid of an automobile without marring the surface. The mount consists of a flat base member and a clamping member pivoted relative to the base in the plane thereof and having a lip spaced from the base. A clamping pad is mounted on the base for movement toward and away from the lip by means of a screw threaded in the base. The members are pivoted so that the lip is exposed and may be easily inserted into the space between the edge of the trunk lid and the body of the automobile without interference from the base. The base is then pivoted relative to the clamping member so as to be opposite the lip and the clamping pad is pushed against the outside of the trunk lid.
