Abstract

A combination satellite television signal receiving antenna and a UHF/VHF antenna, particularly suitable for use with recreational vehicles. The satellite antenna is mounted for both horizontal and vertical adjustment having a circular periphery and the UHF/VHF dipole antenna is attached thereto and is of an arcuate configuration defining a portion of a circle concentric to the satellite receiving antenna dish configuration. The television and UHF/VHF antenna are mounted for simultaneous adjustment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. In combination, a dish antenna for receiving television signals, adjustable support means supporting said dish antenna for adjustment relative to the direction of transmitted signals, a substantially circular periphery defined on said dish antenna, and a UHF/VHF antenna .[.mounted upon said support means.]. located adjacent said dish antenna periphery having a .Iadd.substantially .Iaddend.circular shape conforming to the configuration of said dish antenna periphery and having the same center of curvature as that of said dish antenna periphery for simultaneous directional adjustment with said dish antenna. 
     
     
       2. In a combination as in claim 1, said UHF/VHF antenna comprising a dipole antenna having first and second spaced elements. 
     
     
       3. In combination, a dish antenna for receiving television signals, adjustable support means supporting said dish antenna for adjustment relative to the direction of transmitted signals, a .Iadd.substantially .Iaddend.circular periphery defined on said dish antenna, and a UHF/VHF dipole antenna having a pair of ends and a central region, said central region being of a .Iadd.substantially .Iaddend.circular configuration corresponding to said dish antenna periphery, .[.said dipole antenna ends being affixed to said adjustable support means,.]. and support brackets supporting said dipole antenna central region adjacent said dish antenna periphery. 
     
     
       4. In a combination as in claim 3, said support brackets being affixed to said dish antenna periphery. 
     
     
       5. In a combination as in claim 4, said dipole antenna having first and second spaced elements, said support brackets being attached to said first element.
