This invention relates to an improvement the surface of the roof as by countersunk nails in aerial supports or the like and is adapted or screws or the like. v to be used either to support a radio aerial, A cover 10 should be fitted over the support flagpole, or wherever it may be found suit.- about the socket 5, as shown Fig. 4;, and is 5 bl of suiiicient size to extend over the entire 5! The object of the invention is to simplify outer surface of the plates 7 with its inner the construction of supports of this character, edge soldered or otherwise secured to. the to adapt them for mounting upon any type of socket 5 and roof or plates in order to sealthe roof or any portion of the roof, and at varispace therearound, and to prevent a leaking ous'angles, and also to eliminate the use of. of water through the support at this point, 90 guy wires which have 7 heretofore been reand it also protects the parts of the support quired by reason of the unstableness of the from injury by corrosion, rusting or other. support or the like.

5. A mast support comprising a socket for receiving a mast or the like, and adapted to be disposed in a hole formed in a roof, a supporting bracket disposed beneath and embracing the lower end of the socket and having outturned arms secured to the roof, plates extending on opposite sides of the socket, and embracing the same, said plates having hinged joint-stherebetween arranged approximately at right angles to the flanges of the supporting brace.

6. A mast support comprising a socket for receiving a mast of the like, and adapted to be disposed in a hole formed in a roof, a supporting bracket disposed beneath and embracing the lower end of the socket and having outturned arms secured to the roof, plates extending on opposite sides of the socket, and embracing the same, said plates having hinged joints therebetween arranged approximately at right-angles to the flanges of the supporting brace, and a cover fitted over the plates and about the socket secured thereto to protect the parts of the mastsupport. 7 A mast support of the character described comprising a socket inserted in a hole in a support and extending above and below the support, and plates hinged to the sides of said socket and movable in planes extending laterally therefrom to fasten the sock et to supporting surfaces at different angles thereto.

order to seal the space therearound and prevent leakage through the hole.

10. A mast support comprising a socket for receiving a mast or the like and adapted to be secured to a support, a supporting bracket disposed beneath and embracing the lower end of the socket and having outt-urned arms secured to the support, plates extending on opposite sides of the socket, said plates having hinged joints therebetween arranged approximately at right angles to the flanges of the supporting brace.

11. A mast support comprising a socket for receiving a mast or the like, plates extending on opposite sides of the socket and embracing the same, and means connected with the plates providing hinged joints therebetween.
