Abstract

A device for mounting an antenna on a surface or object, and is particularly suitable for use on a motive vehicle. The device is rotatable to a fixed operative-position for the antenna, which may have the antenna projecting in an upright or vertical direction, eventhough the surface on which the device is mounted, is inclined with respect to ground. The fixed operative-position for the antenna may be incrementally varied. Upon the application of an external force, the antenna may be released from the fixed position and rotated to a non-operative position for protecting the antenna, in the event the over head space is limited; and thereafter, the antenna may be returned to the precise operative-position.
