Antenna mounting systems and methods

摘要

An apparatus for coupling an object to a surface is disclosed. The apparatus may include a mounting plate, a mounting bracket, and a locking plate. The mounting plate may include a mounting portion configured to be coupled with the surface, a receptacle portion configured to receive a mounting bracket, and at least one protrusion extending from the mounting portion. The mounting bracket may include a backing portion, and a coupling portion. The backing portion may define at least one aperture configured to receive the at least one protrusion when the mounting bracket is disposed in the receptacle portion of the mounting plate. The coupling portion may be configured to be coupled with the object, which may be an antenna. The locking plate may be configured to be disposed between at least a portion of the at least one protrusion and at least a portion of the backing portion.

主权项

1. An apparatus for coupling an object to a surface, wherein the apparatus comprises:
a mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate comprises:
a mounting portion that is integral with the mounting plate;a receptacle portion that: is integral with the mounting plate; has a protruding pocket-shaped portion that extends along a bottom edge of the mounting plate; the protruding portion receives a bottom edge of a mounting bracket, and the protruding portion allows the mounting bracket to be rotated toward the surface until flush with the mounting plate while the mounting bracket is fully inserted into the protruding pocket-shaped portion; andat least one protrusion that is integral with the mounting plate and extends from the mounting plate; the mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket comprises:
a backing portion, wherein the backing portion defines at least one aperture, and the at least one aperture receives the at least one protrusion when the mounting bracket is fully inserted into the protruding pocket-shaped portion of the receptacle portion of the mounting plate, the at least one aperture of the mounting bracket positioned to allow the mounting bracket to rotate toward the surface until flush with the mounting plate while the mounting bracket is fully inserted into the protruding pocket-shaped portion and to allow the at least one protrusion to pass through the at least one aperture during such rotation; and a locking plate, wherein the locking plate is configured to be disposed between at least a portion of the at least one protrusion and at least a portion of the backing portion of the mounting bracket.
