Abstract

An arrangement for mounting a directional antenna (10) in an adjustable inclined position to an approximately vertical supporting member (11) comprises a separate upper antenna bracket (12) and a separate lower antenna bracket (12). The two antenna brackets (12) are formed equal to each other and each comprises a first mounting member (13), intended to be mounted to the antenna (10), and a second mounting member (14), intended to be mounted to the supporting member (11). The two mounting members (13, 14) are connected to each other by an intermediate connection (15, 16) which is arranged to permit the two mounting members (13, 14) to be moved a limited distance in an approximately horizontal direction towards or away from each other and to become fixed in adjusted positions relatively to each other.

Description

Arrangement for mounting a directional antenna in an adjustable inclined position
The present invention relates to an arrangement for mounting a directional antenna in an adjustable inclined position to an at least approximately vertical supporting member by means of a separate upper antenna bracket and a separate lower antenna bracket located below the upper antenna bracket.
In previously known arrangements of the above kind it has been common practice to mount the antenna to the supporting member by utilizing two an- tenna brackets of mutually different design individually adapted to the installation in question. In practice, this use of mutually different upper and lower antenna brackets has been found to cause substantial costs.
The invention therefore has for its purpose to provide an improved arrangement of the above kind that can be produced at a substantially reduced cost.
The arrangement according to the invention proposed for the above purpose is primarily characterized in that the two antenna brackets are formed equal to each other and each comprises a first mounting member intended to be mounted to the antenna and a second mounting member intended to be mounted to the supporting member, said two mounting members being connected to each other by means of an intermediate connection that is arranged to permit the two mounting members to be moved a limited distance in an at least approximately horizontal direction towards or away from each other and to become fixed in adjusted positions relatively to each other. The invention makes is possible to utilize a single universally usable kind of antenna bracket both for forming the upper antenna bracket and for forming the lower antenna bracket.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said connection of each of the two antenna brackets may be arranged to permit a limited rotation of the mounting member, intended to be mounted to the antenna, relatively to the mounting member, intended to be mounted to the supporting member, around an at least approximately vertical axis and a fixation of the two mounting members in adjusted rotary positions relatively to each other. Hereby, the antenna may easily be adjusted in a variable lateral direction.
Further characteristics of the invention appear from claims 3 and 4.
Below, the invention 13 further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an arrangement according to an embodiment of the invention, selected by way of example, by which a directional antenna can be mounted in an adjustable inclined position to an at least approximately vertical sup- porting member and become supported by said member in an aroound an at least approximately vertical axis rotatable state,
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of one of two mutually equal antenna brackets contained in said arrangement and located at a vertical distance from each other,
Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the antenna bracket shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 4 shows a top plan view of an antenna bracket. In Figure 1, reference numeral 10 designates a directional antenna formed as an elongate panel antenna and reference numeral 11 designates an at least approximately vertical supporting member for the antenna, consisting of a tower leg formed by an angle profile member. The antenna 10 is mounted in an adjustable inclined position to the supporting member 11 by means of two mutually equal antenna brackets 12 located at some distance above each other.
Each of the two antenna brackets 12 comprises a mounting member 13, intended to be mounted to the antenna 10, and a mounting member 14, intended to be mounted to the supporting member 11. The two mounting members 13, 14 are connected to each other by means of an intermediate connection 15, 16 permitting the two mounting members 13, 14 to be displaced in an approximately horizontal direction towards or away from each other and to become fixed in an adjusted position relatively to each other. Additionally, said connection 15, 16 is also arranged to permit a limited rotation of mounting member 13 relatively to mounting member 14 around an approximately vertical axis X and a fixation of the two mounting members 13, 14 in adjusted rotary positions in relation to each other.
The connection 15, 16 comprises a first connection member 15 that can be displaced in an approximately horizontal direction relatively to mounting member 14 and a second connection member 16 that can be rotated relatively to connecting member 15 around an approximately vertical axis X. The mounting member 13 can additionally be displaced in an approximately horizontal direction in relation to the connec- tion member 16. The mounting member 13 is provided with two threaded bolts 17 by which it can be secured to a mounting flange 18 of antenna 10. For mounting the mounting member 14 to the supporting member 11 one may use a clamping device of the kind shown in
SE-C2 513 Oil comprising two opposite clamping jaws. Alternatively, the mounting member 14 may be mounted to a building wall or the like by means of fastening screws or similar means.
The connection member 15 may be mounted to mounting member 14 and be fixed in adjusted position to the latter member by means of bolts 19. Moreover, the connection member 16 may be mounted on connection member 15 by means of bolts 20 received in arc-circular grooves 21. Centering pins 22 may be used for centering the connection member 16 around the rotation axis X. Finally, mounting member 13 may be mounted and fixed in adjusted position to connection member 16 by means of bolts 23.
The invention is not restricted to the embodiments shown in the drawings and above described.
Instead, many other embodiments are feasible within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims .
