  • Patent number: 8844893
    Abstract: The invention is a unit for fixing an antenna, comprising: a base element suited to support the antenna, provided with a contact surface suited to rest against a plate-like supporting body; a fixing element comprising a main body suited to be connected to the base element through joining means that define a connection direction, and a projecting body mainly developed according to the connection direction and associated with the main body through a deformable connection section. The projecting body has a reference surface facing a corresponding thrust surface of the main body and spaced from it, the connection section being configured so that its deformation makes it possible to move near each other and bring into contact the reference surface and the thrust surface when the fixing element is connected to the base element.

  • Patent number: 7048238
    Abstract: A telescope support stand system for side cutaway view of the present invention in the contracted position. The telescope support stand system includes a base that is permanently secured to a floor, a lower tube attached to the base, an upper tube slidably positioned about the lower tube, an elevating unit within the lower tube for elevating the upper tube, and a support plate attached to the upper tube for mounting a telescope thereto. The outer tube preferably includes a plurality of alignment plates for providing a reduced friction guide surface for sliding about the lower tube.
