Modular Antenna Pole
US Patent:
5687537, Nov 18, 1997
Filed:
May 24, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/653018
Inventors:
Myron C. Noble - Plymouth IN
Assignee:
Pi Rod Inc. - Plymouth IN
International Classification:
E04H 1200
US Classification:
527263
Abstract:
An improved modular antenna pole comprised of a series of aligned cylindrical sections of progressively smaller diameters. Each of the sections includes a top and bottom transverse surface and a circular flange attached to the top and bottom transverse surfaces, respectively, to permit adjacent sections to be bolted together using conventional attachment bolts through a series of complementally spaced mating bores through the flanges. Each of the bolts is held in place by a retention clip which allows the bolts to be pre-installed. A stop tab located inside the sections prevents the bolts from rotating during tightening, and eliminates the use of a conventional jam nut. This improved design also allows the bottom flange of a higher section to rest directly on the top flange of a lower section, resulting in easier assembly and a straighter and more stable pole. Finally, the internal stop members eliminate the need for access holes in each section, and thus the present modular antenna pole is easier and safer to assemble and less susceptible to rust and corrosion, which means faster, safer installation along with less maintenance and longer life.
Antenna Support With Multi-Direction Adjustability
US Patent:
5787673, Aug 4, 1998
Filed:
Jun 7, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/255342
Inventors:
Myron C. Noble - Plymouth IN
Assignee:
PiRod, Inc. - Plymouth IN
International Classification:
E04H 1200, H01Q 112
US Classification:
527261
Abstract:
An antenna support for mounting one or more antenna on a support structure such as a tower. The antenna support includes a framework mountable to the structure, and an antenna mounting support assembly coupled to the framework. The antenna mounting support assembly is configured to mount the antenna in a fashion to be adjustable in a multitude of directions relative to the support structure, such that the mounted antenna may be tuned by an installer by adjustments in these directions.
Adjustable Antenna Support
US Patent:
5533304, Jul 9, 1996
Filed:
Apr 11, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/420030
Inventors:
Myron C. Noble - Plymouth IN
Assignee:
Pi-Rod, Inc. - Plymouth IN
International Classification:
H01Q 112
US Classification:
52 40
Abstract:
An adjustable antenna mount that includes one or more support arms extending outward from a central tower or mast, with each support arm supporting a pivoting cross member on which an antenna assembly is mounted. Each antenna assembly is pivotable about the cross member, and the ends of the cross member and hence the antennas can be accessed from the relative safety of the mast by swiveling the ends of the cross member to a position near the mast. The present invention not only enables the rotation and angle of each antenna to be fine tuned, but also dispenses with the need for a convention work platform at the top of the mast. As such, the present invention presents a much lower wind profile, thereby enhancing signal quality by preventing oscillation of the support in certain high wind conditions.
Modular Antenna Pole
US Patent:
5333436, Aug 2, 1994
Filed:
Sep 14, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/944258
Inventors:
Myron C. Noble - Plymouth IN
Assignee:
PiRod, Inc. - Plymouth IN
International Classification:
E04H 1200
US Classification:
527263
Abstract:
This invention relates to an improved modular antenna pole and to a unique and novel method of joining the pre-fabricated sections which, when assembled, constitute the pole. The pole is comprised of a series of cylindrical sections of decreasing diameters having flanges so designed that the bottom flange of a next succeeding higher section, secured to the outside of the cylindrical section, mates with the top flange of the adjacent lower section, which flange is secured to the inside thereof. Consequently, the pole may be "tapered" from bottom to top in progressively smaller incremental steps rather than by tapering each successive section.
Leg For A Self-Supporting Tower
US Patent:
2011000, Jan 13, 2011
Filed:
Jul 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/459947
Inventors:
Myron Noble - Plymouth IN, US
International Classification:
E04H 12/00
US Classification:
5265101, 5265109
Abstract:
A leg for a self-supporting tower comprising a plurality of upstanding leg members having upper and lower ends. A plurality of vertically spaced-apart and horizontally disposed brace plates are secured to the leg members and extend therebetween. The brace plates have a pair of spaced-apart tie-off openings formed therein which enable a tower climber to tie-off the climber's safety harness thereto. The brace plates have an elongated wind load reducing slot formed therein between the tie-off openings. The leg is devoid of any diagonal braces extending between the leg members thereof thereby making it easier and safer for a climber to climb the tower.
Clamping Apparatus
US Patent:
5807017, Sep 15, 1998
Filed:
Nov 8, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/335939
Inventors:
Myron C. Noble - Plymouth IN
Assignee:
Pi-Rod, Inc. - Plymouth IN
International Classification:
F16B 100
US Classification:
403385
Abstract:
A clamping apparatus adaptable to connect together multiple members which may be variously arranged. The clamping apparatus includes a clamping plate having a first pair and a second pair of arcuate slots. Fasteners extend in a first direction through the first pair of arcuate slots and in a second direction through the second pair of arcuate slots, and the fasteners are slidable along the length of the slots. Clamping links are attachable to the fasteners to secure the multiple members to the clamping plate.
