Patent ID: 7647720

Claim:
An alignment mount for adjusting elevation and azimuth between first and second axes substantially parallel to an axial direction and substantially perpendicular to lateral and vertical directions with a pitch plane formed by said axial and vertical directions, a yaw plane formed by said axial and lateral directions and a roll plane formed by said lateral and vertical directions, said mount detachably disposable to first and second devices corresponding to said first and second axes, said mount comprising: a first platform attachable to the first device, said first platform including a first slot that extends substantially in the yaw plane; a second platform attachable to the second device, said second platform including a first bore and a first channel extending in tandem substantially in the axial direction; an elevation block insertable into said first channel, said elevation block including a second bore, a second channel and a second slot, said second bore and said second channel extending substantially in the axial direction, said second slot extending substantially in the pitch plane; an elevation screw rotatable within said first bore in the roll plane; an elevation cam translatable within said first channel for engaging with said second slot to rotate one end of said elevation block in the pitch plane in response to turning of said elevation screw; an azimuth screw rotatable within said second bore in the roll plane; and an azimuth cam translatable within said second channel for engaging with said first slot to rotate said first platform in the yaw plane in response to turning of said azimuth screw.
