Abstract

To mount a base station to be suspended in a hanger, the base station is provided with a first device for detachable, pivotable attachment to a corresponding device on the hanger to enable the base station to be pivoted from the hanger, and a second device for detachable, fixed attachment to a corresponding device on the hanger.

Claims

1. A system comprising a base station for communication, a hanger, and an arrangement for mounting the base station in the hanger, the arrangement comprising first means for detachable, pivotable attachment to corresponding means on the hanger to enable the base station to be pivoted downwardly from the hanger, toward a center of gravity, and second means for detachable, fixed attachment to corresponding means on the hanger.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the base station substantially has the form of a right angled parallelepiped which along its respective upper short sides is provided with the first and second means.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the base station is substantially cylindrical and at the top at diametrically opposed positions along the periphery is provided with the first and second means.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first means on the base station and the corresponding means on the hanger form a detachable hinge joint.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the hanger, which is to be fixed to a substantially vertical structure, is adapted to keep the base station hanging at a distance from the substantially vertical structure.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the hanger is adapted to carry transmission and power supply wires to be connected to the base station.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the hanger is adapted to carry antennas to be connected to the base station.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the hanger is adapted to carry transient and lightning arresters to be connected to the base station.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the base station and the hanger are provided with means for securing a safety chain between the units.
