Patent ID: 8837148

Claim:
A device ( 1 ) for supporting, housing and cooling radiant modules ( 2 ) of an antenna, comprising a plate ( 3 ) for cooling said radiant modules ( 2 ) that is configured to be fixed to a means for supporting said antenna, said plate ( 3 ) having an upper surface and a lower surface; a plurality of projecting guides ( 5 ) provided at least on one of said surfaces of said plate ( 3 ), so that each pair of said projecting guides ( 5 ) adjacent with the one of said surfaces on which are provided realize housing seats ( 6 ), in each one of which a respective one of said radiant modules ( 2 ) is introduced; a pressing means ( 7 , 15 , 16 , 17 ), integrated with said projecting guides ( 5 ), configured for exerting a pressure on said radiant modules ( 2 ) so as to obtain a substantially uniform coupling between each of said radiant modules ( 2 ) and the one of said surfaces of said plate ( 3 ) on which said projecting guides ( 5 ) are provided; characterized in that each one of said projecting guides ( 5 ) has a plurality of through holes ( 18 ), wherein said pressing means ( 7 , 15 , 16 , 17 ) are placed in the through holes ( 18 ), each one of said through holes ( 18 ) having an axis substantially perpendicular to the one of said surfaces of said plate ( 3 ); and each one of said through holes ( 18 ) being threaded inside, and said pressing means ( 7 ) provided with a dowel ( 15 ), that is configured to be screwed within a corresponding one of said through holes ( 18 ), said dowel ( 15 ) comprising an inside elastic means ( 16 ) and a sphere ( 17 ) on which said elastic means ( 16 ) acts, said sphere ( 17 ) permitting sliding of said respective one of said radiant modules ( 2 ) during insertion of said respective one of radiant modules within a corresponding one of said seats ( 6 ), and exerting a uniform and adjustable pressure on said respective one of said radiant modules.
