Abstract
Abstract An antenna assembly including separate antennas for receiving UHF and VHF signals disposed along spaced points on an antenna mast. The UHF antenna forms a closed configuration aligned in a plane at the top of the mast while the VHF antenna is characterized by two triangular members fastened to the mast in side-by-side relation aligned in a plane at an angle to the mast. Specially formed cylindrical insulative blocks, connected to the mast, furnish anchoring mounting support for the antennas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A support assembly for reactively loaded loop antenna having a pair of spaced conductor sections, comprising a mast, a generally cylindrical insulator block having a planar portion confronting the mast, a fastener element extending through the block and into the mast substantially perpendicular to said planar portion, assembly means mounted on the fastener element in engagement with the mast holding the block assembled thereon in an orientated position, and elongated connectors extending from the conductor sections through the block in substantially perpendicular spaced relation to the fastener element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A support assembly for reactively loaded loop antenna having a pair of spaced conductor sections, comprising a mast, a generally cylindrical insulator block having a planar portion confronting the mast, a fastener element extending through the block and into the mast substantially perpendicular to said planar portion, assembly means mounted on the fastener element in engagement with the mast holding the block assembled thereon in an orientated position, and elongated connectors extending from the conductor sections through the block in substantially perpendicular spaced relation to the fastener element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said mast is tubular in cross section having an open upper end, said assembly means comprising a nonconductive plug closing said upper end through which the fastener element extends.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination of claim 2 wherein the block is formed with axially spaced recesses, on either side of the fastener element, through which the connectors extend.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein the block is formed with axially spaced recesses, on either side of the fastener element, through which the connectors extend.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said assembly means comprises washers mounted on the fastener element on opposite sides of the mast and a nut threadedly mounted on the fastener element clamping the mast between said washers with the planar portion of the block substantially parallel to the mast.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination of claim 5 wherein the block is formed with axially spaced recesses, on either side of the fastener element, through which the connectors extend.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
79 words
The combination of claim 2 including a second antenna having spaced conductor sections and a second insulator block identical to the first-mentioned block, a second fastener element extending through the second block and the mast in vertically spaced relation below the upper end and clamping means mounted on the second fastener element holding the second block assembled on the mast, the conductor sections of the second antenna having connectors extending through the second block laterally spaced from the mast.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination of claim 7 wherein the second antenna includes a connector block interconnecting said conductor sections and held in abutment with the mast above the second insulator block.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination of claim 8 wherein each of the insulator blocks is formed with axially spaced recesses, on either side of the fastener element, through which the connectors extend.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
30 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said antenna includes two substantially triangular configurations having bases formed by said spaced conductor sections, said triangular configurations being interconnected above the insulator block.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combination of claim 10 wherein the triangular configurations are interconnected by a nonconductive connector block in abutment with the mast.
