Claim Text:
1. A mount for fitting an antenna to a distal side of a panel from a proximal side of the panel, through a knockout in the panel, the mount comprising: a body having a distal end, a proximal end and a hole passing from the distal end to the proximal end for accommodating a signal conductor for electrical connection to the antenna; one or more tabs attached to the distal end of the body and projecting into the proximal end of the body, said tabs being inwardly flexible; a clip projecting outwards from an outer surface of each tab at the distal end of the body; a retaining surface on each clip located in a first plane and facing towards the proximal end of the body; one or more wings attached to and projecting radially outwards from the proximal end of the body, each wing having a stop surface located in a second plane and facing towards the distal end of the body; and a gap between the first and second planes for accommodating a thickness of the panel; wherein, when said tabs are flexed inwards, the mount can be passed into the knockout until said stop surfaces engage with the proximal side of the panel and, when said tabs are then released, the mount can be retained in the knockout by said retaining surfaces engaging with the distal side of the panel.
