Patent ID: 8613415

Claim:
A dish lifting device comprising: a. a communication dish; b. a support member, wherein the support member comprises: (i) a first panel; (ii) a second panel; and (iii) a base connected with the first panel and the second panel, and wherein the support member provides a first end opposite a second end; c. a pivoting planar segment mounted to the first end of the support member, wherein the communication dish is connected with the pivoting planar segment; d. a first leg comprising: (i) a first leg first section, wherein the first leg first section is connected with the pivoting planar segment; and (ii) a first leg second section, wherein the first leg second section is connected with the support member; e. a second leg comprising: (i) a second leg first section, wherein the second leg first section is connected with the pivoting planar segment; and (ii) a second leg second section, wherein the second leg second section is connected with the support member; f. a connection rod connected with the first leg and the second leg, wherein a length of the connection rod is less than a width of the base, and wherein the first leg and the second leg remain apart at equal distances while the dish lifting device unfolds; and g. an actuator rod connected with the connection rod and the support member, wherein the actuator rod is configured to move the pivoting planar segment by providing force to the connection rod.
