Patent ID: 8780008

Claim:
An antenna mount, comprising: a first plate comprising a planar surface, a plurality of openings in the planar surface for receiving a plurality of attachment devices, and a flange disposed transversely to the planar surface; a second plate secured to the first plate with the attachment devices to form a plate assembly, the second plate comprising a surface that is disposed parallel to and in contact with the planar surface of the first plate, a plurality of elongated openings, disposed longitudinally on the surface, which receive the attachment devices, a stiffening structure disposed transversely to the surface at one end of the surface, the one or more members parallel to the flange of the first plate and extending in the same direction as the flange of the first plate, wherein the flange of the first plate and the one or more members of the second plate are configured to abut oppositely facing surfaces of a mounting base; a third plate comprising a planar surface with a plurality of openings that receive the attachment devices, and a mounting surface, the mounting surface including two coplanar portions that are each attached at opposing ends of the planar surface of the third plate, wherein a plane of the two portions of the mounting surface is parallel to and slightly removed from a plane of the planar surface of the third plate, the mounting surface having a plurality of openings that are configured to receive a plurality of connecting devices to secure a mounting device of an antenna assembly to the third plate, wherein the planar surface of the third plate is positioned to abut a surface of the mounting base that is opposite a surface of the mounting base that is abutted by the plate assembly, and the third plate is affixed to the plate assembly such that the mounting base is clamped between the third plate and the plate assembly.
