Figures 1 and 2 show a holder assembly 10 configured to fix and fix a member (for example, an electronic device). Non-limiting examples of members that can be secured include electronic devices. The electronic device may be a communication device. Some non-limiting examples of electronic devices that can be used include, but are not limited to, antennas, Active Antenna Units (AAU), Remote Radio Units (RRU), or Distributed Units (DU). These components are usually located in an outdoor environment. The holder assembly can be used in other locations, such as in indoor locations.

If necessary, the fixture assembly of the present invention is easy for users to assemble, install, and maintain. The holder assembly can also reduce the time to install components (e.g., electronic devices) in the air. The invention also facilitates assembly without tools. In addition, when no special tools are used, components (for example, electronic devices) are difficult or even impossible to remove from the fixed fixture assembly after installation.

The holder assembly of the present invention is suitable for assembling and fixing to a structure, such as a rod. It is conceivable that the holder assembly can be fixed to other structures, such as a pylon or a derrick.

FIG. 1 shows the holder assembly 10 in an assembled view, FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the components in the holder assembly of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a top view of the holder assembly 10. With particular reference to FIG. 1, the holder assembly 10 includes a bracket 12, and the bracket 12 further includes a front section 14, a first side 16, a second opposite side 18 and a plurality of rear sections 20 and 22. The rear sections 20 and 22 are located relative to the front section 14. The front section 14 of the bracket 12 forms a plurality of fastener receiving holes 24a-24d, and each of the fastener receiving holes 24a-24d is configured to receive a fastener passing through the fastener receiving holes 24a-24d.

With particular reference to FIG. 2, in addition to the bracket 12, the holder assembly 10 further includes a base 40, a plate 60 and a fixing pin 70. The base 40 further forms a recess 54 configured to receive at least a part of the fixing pin 70, which will be discussed below.

Each of the plurality of fastener receiving holes 24a-24d includes a corresponding first general area 26a-26d and a corresponding second general area 28a-28d. The shape and size of each first general area 26a-26d allows fasteners, and more specifically, the head of the fastener extends through the first general areas 26a-26d. Each second general area 28a-28d is a curved, reduced area or slit, and the size prevents or prohibits the head of the fastener from extending through the second general area 28a-28d. The curved portion of the second general area 28a-28d is related to the movement or rotation of the plate 60, which will be discussed in detail below.

The base 40 includes a front section 42, a first side 44 and a second opposite side 46. A plurality of protrusions 48a-48d are formed on the front section 42 of the base 40. The protrusions 48a-48d assist in pushing the fastener and plate 60 to the bracket 12. The protrusions 48a-48d also assist in compressing the spring 72 (see also Fig. 5) to generate a clamping force on the fastener, which can assist in fixing the fastener in the second position. The base 40 further includes a protrusion 50 extending from the base 40 and adapted to receive the plate 60. The protrusion 50 may be a bolt, a screw, or a hinge pin. The base 40 also includes a plurality of convex portions 52a-52d. When in the first position, the protrusions 52a-52d can restrict the position of the plate 60. A recess or groove 54 is further formed in the base 40 and is configured to receive at least a part of the fixing pin 70, as will be discussed below.

The base 40 is attached to the bracket 12 before the fastener is inserted through the fastener receiving hole. In one embodiment, the base can be attached to the bracket by welding. In another embodiment, the base may be attached to the bracket with fasteners, such as bolts or screws. In this embodiment, the sides of the bracket and the side of the base will generally be longer, making it easier to attach to the bracket and the base.

Referring to FIG. 3, the first side 16 and the second opposite side 18 of the bracket 12 are shown as generally perpendicular to the front section 14 of the bracket 12. It is conceivable that the first side and the second opposite side of the bracket may extend at an angle relative to the front section of the bracket. For example, the first side and the second opposite side may be flared outwardly or inwardly with respect to the front section of the bracket.

In addition, the rear sections 20 and 22 of the bracket 12 extend inwardly from the first side 16 and the second opposite side 18. The rear sections 20, 22 extend inwardly from the first side 16 and the second opposite side 18 at an angle A of about 20 degrees to about 75 degrees, and more specifically from about 30 degrees to about 60 degrees. When the structure (e.g., rod) is smaller than a certain diameter, the rear sections 20, 22 are ideally angled. For example, in an embodiment where the length L of the fixture assembly is about 162 mm and the structure has a diameter of 100 mm, the rear sections 20, 22 are at an angle. It is conceivable that, depending on the cross-sectional size of the structure, the rear section may generally extend perpendicular to the first side and the second opposite side. The rear sections 20, 22 also form corresponding serrated edges 20a, 22a to assist in fixing the anchor assembly 10 to the structure.

In one embodiment, the front section 14, the first side 16 and the second opposite side 18, and the plurality of rear sections 20, 22 of the bracket 12 are integrally formed with each other. It is conceivable that, in another embodiment, the bracket may be formed of separate and fixed together members.

In another embodiment, it is conceivable that the rear section of the bracket may include only one rear section. Therefore, the bracket includes at least one rear section opposite the front section.

With reference to Figures 4A and 4B, the bracket 12 is further formed with a plurality of holes 30a-30f configured to assist in attaching the holder assembly 10 to the structure, as will be discussed below. A plurality of holes 30a-30f are provided in one of the rear sections 20, 22.

In another embodiment, it is conceivable that a plurality of holes configured to assist in attaching the fixture assembly to the structure may be provided on the first side and the second opposite side. This may be the case when the holder assembly is fixed on a larger structure (e.g., a rod). It is also conceivable that a plurality of holes configured to assist in attaching the holder assembly to the structure can be provided on one or more of the first side and the second opposite side, and on one of the rear sections of the bracket Or more.

Referring to FIG. 5, the plate 60 is provided between the base 40 and at least one portion of the bracket 12 best shown in FIG. A plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d are formed in the plate 60, and each of the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d is configured to receive a fastener passing through the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d. The plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d are generally circular. The shapes and sizes of the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d allow fasteners, and more specifically, the heads of the fasteners extend through the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d. In the first position, it is desirable that the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d are generally coaxial with the plurality of fastener receiving holes 24a-24d to facilitate easier insertion of the fasteners. It is conceivable that the fastener receiving hole of the plate may be formed in other shapes.

The plate 60 is further formed with a hole 64 configured to receive a protrusion 50 (shown in FIG. 2) extending from the base 40. The hole 64 is formed in the center of the plate 60. The plate 60 also includes a plurality of elongated recesses 66a-66d. At least one of the plurality of elongated recesses 66a-66d assists in fixing the plate 60 with the fixing pin 70 in the second position, which will be described in detail below. The plurality of elongated recesses 66a-66d also assist in fixing the plate 60 with the plurality of protrusions 52a-52d in the first position.

The plate 60 of Figure 5 is configured to rotate from the first position to the second position in the holder assembly, which will be described in detail below. In this embodiment, the plate 60 is adapted to rotate less than about 30 degrees in the clockwise direction (the direction of arrow A). The plate is generally designed to rotate from about 15 degrees to about 45 degrees, and more specifically from about 15 degrees to about 30 degrees.

It is conceivable that by reconfiguring one or more of the following: the length of the fastener receiving hole, the size of the plate, or the downward movement of the fixing pin, the plate can be designed to rotate more than the plate 60. For example, the plate can be configured to rotate less than about 45 degrees. It is conceivable that the holder assembly can be designed to rotate the plate counterclockwise relative to the clockwise direction.

The fixing pin 70 is firmly assembled on the base 40. The fixing pin 70 is an anti-theft pin, which assists in prohibiting or preventing a member (for example, an electronic device) from rotating clockwise and falling out. The fixing pin 70 is hidden in the holder assembly 10, so it will be difficult for the user to access the fixing pin 70 and finally remove the component (for example, an electronic device). The fixing pin 70 is configured to move from the first position to the second position to prevent the plate 60 from rotating back to the first position counterclockwise and possibly falling out.

The fixing pin 70 assists in fixing a component (for example, an electronic device) to a holder assembly (for example, the holder assembly 10 of FIG. 1). Referring to the internal view of the holder assembly 10 in FIG. 5, the fixing pin 70 includes a spring 72 and a flange 74. Therefore, the fixing pin 70 is a spring-loaded fixing pin. The spring 72 is biased downward (in the direction of arrow B in Fig. 5). The fixing pin 70 is assembled on the base 40. The recess 54 (shown in FIG. 2) of the base 40 receives at least a part of the fixing pin 70. The flange 74 and the recess 54 of the base 40 assist in controlling the movement of the fixing pin 70.

Figure 6 shows a non-limiting example of usable components. Figure 6 shows the form of an electronic device 90 with a plurality of fasteners 80a-80d. In one embodiment, the plurality of fasteners are bolts. Each of the fasteners 80a-80d includes a head or face portion 82 and a body 84 of reduced diameter. In one embodiment, the body 84 includes a threaded portion. One non-limiting example of bolts can use hexagon head bolts.

In other embodiments, it is conceivable that other fasteners may be used, such as screws. The fastener used in the present invention includes a head or face part with a reduced diameter and a body. It is conceivable that the fastener may not have a threaded part, and in this embodiment, it is fixed to the member (for example, an electronic device) by other methods. For example, the fastener may be fixed to a member (for example, an electronic device) by, for example, welding.

Referring to Figure 7, the holder assembly 10 further includes a plurality of fasteners 80a-80d, configured to extend through a plurality of fastener receiving holes 24a-24d formed in the bracket 12, and a plurality of fasteners formed in the plate 60 Fastener receiving holes 62a-62d (shown in Figure 2).

Referring to FIG. 8, generally speaking, a member (for example, an electronic device) fixed by the holder assembly is disposed adjacent to the bracket and opposite to the board and the base. More specifically, FIG. 8 shows a non-limiting example of the component in the form of an electronic device 90, which is also discussed in FIG. 6 above. The electronic device 90 is arranged adjacent to the bracket 12 of the holder assembly 10. In one embodiment, the electronic device 90 forms a plurality of holes, and a plurality of fasteners are fixed in the plurality of holes. The fastener can be securely transferred into the electronic device 90. It is conceivable that, as discussed above, other methods for fixing the fastener in the electronic device 90 can also be used.

In one method of assembling and fixing the fastener assembly to the structure, a plurality of fasteners are fixed or assembled to the member. The holder assembly, and more specifically, the bracket of the holder assembly is secured to the structure (e.g., rod). The fasteners on the component (for example, the electronic device) are inserted into a plurality of fastener receiving holes in the holder assembly. The fastener attached to the member rotates in the fastener receiving hole to fix the fastener assembly to a desired fixation position. This method is usually performed without tools.

Hexagon head bolts are usually fixed to components (for example, electronic devices) with wrenches. This is usually done offsite of the installer. However, it is conceivable that the hexagon head bolt may be fixed to a member (for example, an electronic device) in the field.

The above method will be described, for example, regarding fixing the holder assembly 10 (the bracket 12, the base 40, the plate 60, and the fixing pin 70) and the member 90 (for example, an electronic device) to the structure 110.

Still referring to FIG. 8, the bracket 12 is fixed to the structure 110 via a plurality of holes 30a-30f formed in the bracket 12 (see FIGS. 4A and 4B). In this embodiment, the structure 110 is a rod. In one embodiment, the bracket is secured to the structure by using at least one tie ring. At least one beam ring extends through a plurality of holes 30 a-30 f formed in the bracket 12 and surrounds the structure 110. The bracket 12 is fixed to the structure 110 by a plurality of tie rings 112a-112c.

The beam ring may include one or more materials. For example, in one embodiment, the beam ring includes a polymer material. In another embodiment, the beam ring includes a metallic material. One non-limiting metal beam ring is a steel beam ring. The metal tie ring may include a rubber or plastic cover on at least a part of the metal tie ring in order to increase the friction with the structure (for example, the rod) and improve the corrosion resistance.

In Figure 8, the polymer beam rings 112a, 112c and the metal beam ring 112b are used. It is conceivable that the beam ring may be the same type as shown in Figure 8 or a different type. It is conceivable that other fastening methods, such as clips, screws, and nuts, can be used to secure the retainer assembly to the structure.

Referring back to Figures 2, 3 and 8, after the bracket 12 is fixed to the structure 110, the plate 60 is located between the base 40 and at least a part of the bracket 12, and the plate 60 is placed through the hole 64 of the plate 60 On the convex portion 50 of the base 40. Referring back to Figure 7, each of the plurality of fasteners 80a-80d is aligned and extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of fastener receiving holes 24a-24d formed in the bracket 12, and passes through the plate 60 A corresponding one of the plurality of fastener receiving holes 62a-62d in (shown in Figure 2). The plurality of fasteners 80a-80d will contact a corresponding one of the protrusions 48a-48d.

Referring to Figures 9A and 9B, the member 90 has been removed for clarity, and the plurality of fasteners 80a-80d are moved from the first position to the second position in the plurality of fastener receiving holes. After the plurality of fasteners 80a-80d have extended through each of the corresponding ones of the plurality of fastener receiving holes formed in the bracket 12 and the plate 40, the plurality of fasteners 80a-80d are moved. This is achieved by moving the member 90, which in turn moves a plurality of fasteners 80a-80d in the clockwise direction of arrow A. This causes the plate 60 to rotate from the first position (Figure 5) to the second position (Figure 10). The plate 60 rotates clockwise from about 25 degrees to about 35 degrees. This direction is the direction of arrow A shown in Figure 5.

The plate 60 rotates around the convex portion 50 of the base 40. First, the outer periphery of the plate 60 prevents or prohibits the fixing pin 70 from moving downward via the spring 72 (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 5). This is shown in the first position of the fixing pin 70 in FIG. 5. When the plate 60 rotates in the clockwise direction, the spring 72 of the fixing pin 70 extends in a downward direction (see the arrow B in Figs. 5 and 10).

Referring to Fig. 10, the fixing pin 70 engages one of the plurality of elongated recesses 66a. At about the same time, the flange 74 of the fixing pin 70 engages one end of the recess 54 formed in the base 40. Therefore, the at least one flange 74, the elongated recess 66a, or a combination of both prevents or prohibits the fixing pin 70 from continuously moving in the direction of arrow B. When the plate 60 is in the second position, the holder assembly 10 is locked to fix the member 90.

It is conceivable that the sequence of the methods discussed above can be formed sequentially. It is also conceivable that the steps of the method can be executed in a different order.

When the holder assembly 10 discussed above is locked, it is difficult or even impossible to remove the member 90 (for example, an electronic device) from the holder assembly 10. If the user wants to obtain the contact member 90 (for example, an electronic device), the fixing pin 70 needs to be moved from the second position (see Fig. 10) back to the first position (see Fig. 5). In one embodiment, a special tool may be used to move the fixing pin 70 from the second position back to the first position.

For example, referring to Figures 11A to 11E, the special tool 130 assists in moving the fixing pin 70 from the second position (Figure 10) to the first position (Figure 5). First referring to Figures 11A and 11B, the special tool 130 has a round end 132 with a hollow inner region 134 formed on two elongated extensions extending from the round end 132 and the base 138 ( elongated extension) between 136a and 136b.

The rounded end 132 of the special tool 130 is fitted in the end 76 of the fixing pin 70. After the rounded end 132 of the special tool 130 is inserted into the end 76 of the fixing pin 70 (Figure 11C), the special tool 130 rotates counterclockwise (direction of arrow C) to the position in Figures 11D and 11E. After the special tool 130 is inserted into the security pin 70, the combination of the hollow inner region 134 and the cylinder 78 in the fixing pin 70 (FIG. 11B) assists in rotating the fixing pin 70. During the rotation, the special tool 130 acts like a hook, so that the user can pull the fixing pin 70 through the special tool 130. After the fixing pin 70 is repositioned to the first position of the fixing pin 70 (Figure 5), the plurality of fasteners fixed to the member (for example, the electronic device) can be moved counterclockwise from the second position to the first position, so that The component can be removed.
