ABSTRACT:
An improved mount for parabolic or similar antennas which allows for easier and more precise positioning of the antennae while providing a secure mount. The antenna mount includes a strut support mount in a mount base which comprises a circular plate with two parallel flanges. The two parallel flanges each have a hole in approximately their center which line up with a pair of diametrically opposed holes in the strut support mount. A turnbuckle assembly further secures the mount base to the strut support mount. Also included is an antenna pivot which includes a worm wheel at its base and a structure for securing an antenna. The antenna pivot is rotatably mounted on the mount base. A worm bracket assembly is affixed to the mount base in a manner such that the worm within the worm bracket drivingly engages the worm wheel of the antenna pivot. The worm bracket assembly further includes a threaded bearing which screws into the bracket such that it rotatably secures the worm and can be screwed down far enough to nearly eliminate any axial lash of the worm while roller bearings disposed on the shaft of the worm allow for nearly free rotation.
