EZ fit antenna base (side mount)

Abstract

An apparatus for securing an antenna to a surface by the use of an antenna mount with internal cabling routing, which prevents any cables from showing. With only one through hole required at the time of installation. A unique way to eliminate water penetration by the use of O rings, and gaskets clamped to the surface by a simple process, and therefore eliminating troublesome holes made by screws. While allowing free movement of the antenna for raising and lowering purposes. one nut installation that can be performed by a single relatively unskilled person. Simple to manufacture with a minimal number of parts. with a beautiful streamlined appearance, that can be used for mounting almost any standard antenna.

1 . An apparatus for securing an antenna to a surface comprising:
 A hollow antenna mount to enable internal cable routing;   A hollow Circular base plate secured by a nut washer and gaskets to prevent water penetration;   A base plate that can be left in place with or without the inner post assembly and antenna;   An optional plug that can replace the inner post assembly to prevent water penetration when inner post assembly absent;   A hollow inner post assembly holding the antenna mount and inserted through the base plate and secured in place by a circlip;   The hollow post assembly to facilitate one or more O rings to prevent water penetration;   Constructed in stainless steel or other alloy;   A single aperture installation process;   Totally eliminates water penetration;   Permits quick and easy installation or removal of said antenna;   Allows for fast and easy replacement of any moving parts;   Permits free movement of said antenna in any direction for raising and lowering purposes;   Simple one nut mounting enabling installation by one unskilled person; and   means of attaching the said antenna mount without screws, or bolts.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said antenna has one or more extensions attached. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said antenna is replaced by any other device. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  being constructed of any other material other than stainless steel or other alloy. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  being used with external cable routing. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said hollow circular base plate is manufactured in another shape. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said single aperture installation could be multi aperture installation. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said simple one nut mounting could me multi nut mounting. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said mount without screws could be with screws and/or nuts and bolts. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said hollow parts are solid for use with external cable routing. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said O rings could be replaced by another means of seal. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said hollow circular base plate could be secured by other means. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said hollow circular base plate could be waterproofed by other means. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the said free movement could be made ridged.
