Patent ID: 11837771

Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of telecommunication control units (TCUs) having top surfaces (e.g., defined by mounting brackets, etc.) configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to follow, match, and/or correspond with the contours (e.g., curvatures, non-flat contours, etc.) of vehicle roofs (or other vehicle body walls or mounting surfaces). Also disclosed are exemplary embodiments of TCU mounting brackets configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to follow, match, and/or correspond with the contours (e.g., curvatures, non-flat contours, etc.) of vehicle roofs (or other vehicle body walls or mounting surfaces). Exemplary methods relating to installation of TCUs to vehicle body walls are disclosed. An exemplary method may include positioning a top surface (e.g., defined by a mounting bracket, etc.) of a telecommunication control unit against the vehicle body wall. The top surface may be configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to match and/or correspond with a contour of the vehicle body wall.
