ABSTRACT:
A lightweight mounting structure combination for small dish antennae is provided. The structure includes an upright mast for supporting the dish antennae. The mast has an upper end for attachment to said dish and a lower end for anchoring to a rigid-type structure. The structure also has a bent strut having a lower end for anchoring to a rigid-type structure and an upper end for attachment to said mast. In addition, a second strut is provided having a lower end for anchoring to a rigid-type structure and an upper end for attachment to said mast. Further included is means for anchoring the respective lower ends of the mast, bent strut and second strut to the rigid-type structure and for attaching the respective upper ends of the bent and second struts to the mast. The means includes a bracket, a threaded bolt having a shank portion for extending through the bracket and respective end, and a nut threaded on said bolt for drawing the bracket and respective end tightly together. The bolt, nut, bracket and respective end cooperate to indicate to one tightening the nut and bolt when a predetermined extent of tightness is attained, the predetermined extent of tightness being characterized by the respective end having undergone a predetermined extent of deformation such that relative movement between the bracket and respective end is minimized.
A bolted joint connection and a method for installing a dish antenna mounting structure are also provided.
