Abstract:
1. An antenna mounting system, comprising: a mounting bracket adapted to be securely coupled to a first and second vehicle, wherein said mounting bracket comprises a substantially planar section having a first edge on a first side of said planar section and a second edge on another side of said planar section, said first edge including a first bent section along a portion of said first edge formed to be substantially at a right angle to a face of said planar section, said second edge including a second bent section along a portion of said second edge formed to be substantially at a right angle to the face of said planar section, said second bent section along a portion of said second edge formed to be substantially at a right angle to said face of said planar section; and a shelf bracket adapted to be securely coupled to said mounting bracket and adapted to be securely coupled to an antenna system wherein said first edge further comprises a third bent section along a portion of said first edge formed to be substantially at a right angle to said face of said planar section; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a first reinforcement structure, having a back edge and a first left edge, said back edge being coupled to said face of planar section, a portion of said first left edge being coupled to a portion of said first bent section, a second portion of said first left edge being coupled to a portion of said third bent section; and wherein said first bent section is angled at a first angle with respect to said third bent section; and wherein said second edge further comprises a fourth bent section along a portion of said second edge formed to be substantially at a right angle to said face of said planar section; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a second reinforcement structure, having a back edge, top edge, and a bottom edge, said back edge being coupled to said face of planar section, said top edge being coupled to a bottom edge of said second bent section, said bottom edge being coupled to a top edge of said fourth bent section; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a third reinforcement structure, having a back edge, a right edge, and a second left edge, said back edge being coupled to said face of planar section, said second left edge being coupled to said first bent section, said right edge being coupled to said fourth bent section; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a first plurality of apertures for coupling said mounting bracket to said first vehicle; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a second plurality of apertures for coupling said mounting bracket to said shelf bracket in a first and second orientation; and wherein said mounting bracket further comprises a third plurality of apertures for coupling said mounting bracket to said second vehicle that are different than said first plurality of apertures; wherein said first plurality of apertures are formed to align with a fourth plurality of apertures formed in a section of said first vehicle that couples a vehicle outer structure to said first vehicle by a first plurality of bolts or studs that also couples said mounting bracket to said first vehicle in a first mounting configuration; wherein said third plurality of apertures are formed to align with a fifth plurality of apertures formed in a section of said second vehicle that couples a vehicle outer structure to said first vehicle by a second plurality of bolts or studs that also couples said mounting bracket to said second vehicle in a second mounting configuration.
