Abstract:

A bracket assembly for mounting a citizen band (CB) antenna on the hinge bolt of an automobile trunk lid is disclosed. When the trunk lid is closed, only the antenna and one end portion of the bracket assembly is outside of the trunk compartment. In order to completely conceal the antenna without disassembling the bracket assembly from the hinge bolt the trunk lid is lifted and the bracket assembly is pivoted about a first axis and then about a second axis that is preferably perpendicular to the first axis. In this manner the entire bracket assembly as well as the antenna mounted thereon may be stowed and completely concealed within the trunk compartment without disassembling the bracket assembly from the hinge bolt.
