Abstract
A mount assembly for mounting a two-way radio antenna to a curved section of a vehicle has top and bottom collars shaped to match the contour of the vehicle curved section. During installation of the mount assembly, the top and bottom collars are positioned on opposite sides of the vehicle curved section, and an externally-threaded tubular connector is inserted through through-holes in the top and bottom collars and through an opening formed in the curved section of the vehicle. A mounting ring threads onto the upper end of the tubular connector that projects beyond the top collar and is threaded into engagement with the upper surface of the top collar. A fastening nut threads onto the lower end of the tubular connector that projects beyond the lower surface of the bottom collar. As the fastening nut is tightened, the top and bottom collars are drawn together to firmly secure the mount assembly to the vehicle surface. A two-way radio antenna is threaded onto external threads provided on the mounting ring, thereby attaching the antenna in a vertical orientation to the vehicle through the mount assembly.
