Patent ID: 7466286

Claim:
A folding frame for mounting an antenna on an upstanding support structure, comprising: an upper mounting bracket for attachment to the support structure; a lower mounting bracket for attachment to the support structure below said upper mounting bracket; first, second, third and fourth elongated support arms, each having inner and outer ends; said inner ends of said first and second support arms being pivotally secured to said upper mounting bracket about a generally vertical axis and extending outwardly therefrom; said inner ends of said third and fourth support arms being pivotally secured to said lower mounting bracket about a generally vertical axis and extending outwardly therefrom; first second, third and fourth elongated support members having first and second ends; said first support member being selectively pivotally secured, intermediate its length, to said outer end of said first support arm about a generally vertical axis so that said first support member is generally horizontally disposed; said second support member being selectively pivotally secured, intermediate its length, to said outer end of said second support arm about a generally vertical axis so that said second support member is generally horizontally disposed; said third support member being selectively pivotally secured, intermediate its length, to said outer end of said third support arm about a generally vertical axis so that said third support member is generally horizontally disposed; said fourth support member being selectively pivotally secured, intermediate its length, to said outer end of said fourth support arm about a generally vertical axis so that said fourth support member is generally horizontally disposed; said second ends of said first and second support members being selectively pivotally secured together about a general vertical axis so that said first and second support members may be selectively moved between a first folded position to a second extended position; said second ends of said third and fourth support members being selectively pivotally secured together about a general vertical axis so that said third and fourth support members may be selectively moved between a first folded position to a second extended position; at least one upstanding antenna support secured to and extending between said first and third support members; and at least one upstanding antenna support secured to and extending between said second and fourth support members.
