Abstract
A mounting assembly for supporting a satellite transmitting antenna on a truck or other mobile vehicle includes a base member having a lower mounting surface adapted to be fixed against a mobile vehicle surface, for example, an air fairing on top of the cab of the tractor portion of a trailer truck, a first pivot axis on the base member spaced upwardly from the mounting surface and extending parallel with the latter, an upper member having an upper surface to which the antenna is secured and a second pivot axis spaced downwardly from the upper surface and extending parallel therewith, and a strut connected, at its end portions, to the first and second pivot axes with the latter parallel to each other so that the upper surface and the lower mounting surface can be adjusted relative to each other both angularly and in respect to the distance therebetween for varying the height and orientation of the mounted antenna.
