Patent ID: 7683853

Claim:
A non-invasive antenna mounting apparatus for mounting an antenna on a structure, said apparatus comprising: a) a clamping device for compressing a structure component, said clamping device comprising opposing arms, a compression device and a compression member, wherein said clamping device serves to attach said apparatus to a structure by compressing said structure component such that said clamping device is rigidly attached to said structure component as a result of said compressing; b) a drop arm segment; c) an extension arm segment, d) an extension arm connector: e) wherein said drop arm segment is attached to said clamping device at a first end of said drop arm segment and said drop arm segment is attached to said extension arm segment at a second end of said drop arm segment with said extension arm connector and wherein said extension arm connector allows a position of said extension arm to be adjusted within said extension arm connector, thereby adjusting the effective length of said extension arm; and f) a mounting plate configured to couple with an antenna bracket while allowing selective rotation of said antenna bracket, said mounting plate providing support for an antenna connected to said antenna bracket, wherein said mounting plate is attached to an end of said extension arm.
