FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to a mounting assembly.
BACKGROUND
Mounting assemblies are used to mount enclosures that are used to protect several components stored therein from adverse environmental conditions and prevent damaging of the components from external forces. Enclosures are generally used for enclosing several components used in a communication network. The communication network generally has a macro base station having one or more pair of transmitters and receivers. Generally, these transmitters and receivers are large in size and need special site for their installation. Use of such macro base stations is minimized with the increase in usage of 3G or advanced technologies. In such technologies, the traditional macro base stations have been scaled down to micro cells. These micro cells use several electronic components which are required to be protected from adverse environmental conditions such as rain, heat and the like.
Generally, mounting of such enclosures is difficult because these enclosures require change in their orientations of mounting to receive signals from a transmitting station for accurate working of user devices connected to the communication network. Conventional mounting assemblies are limited in their mounting positions. Such mounting assemblies are used to mount articles in a fixed position. Therefore, different mounting assemblies are required for different mounting positions. Further, difficulty in mounting of the article arises where the mounting space is less and the article is difficult to mount in a predefined position.

Mounting arrangements are also used for mounting cameras at several sites such as platforms, airports, banks, offices and the like. Different structured mounting arrangements are required for mounting the cameras at different locations to cover each of the parts of such sites.
There is thus felt a need for eliminating the problems associated with the conventional enclosures. Further, there is a need to provide a mounting assembly that facilitates mounting of the articles in several tilting positions. Furthermore, a mounting assembly that is robust in construction. Again, there is a need to provide a mounting assembly that is cost effective.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The mounting assembly of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the embodiments which do not limit the scope and ambit of the disclosure. The description relates purely to the exemplary preferred embodiments of the disclosed system and its suggested applications.
The system herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained with reference to the non-limiting embodiments in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
The mounting assembly of the present disclosure will now be explained with reference to Figure 1 through Figure 7 with the key components being referenced generally by numerals as indicated in the accompanying drawings. Referring to Figure 1, the mounting assembly 100 in accordance with the present disclosure includes following components:
• a mounting plate 106;
• a clamp support bracket 110; and
• a U-clamp 112.
The mounting plate 106 is provided with an arcuate array of holes 116 (shown in Figure 3) and a plate slot 114 (shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4). The clamp support bracket 110 includes two bracket slots 122 and at least one recess 120.

In accordance with the present disclosure, the mounting assembly 100 is used to mount articles 102 (shown in Figure 1) such as closed circuit television, customer-premises equipment onto a post 104. In accordance with the present disclosure, the mounting assembly 100 facilitates mounting of the article 102 in a plurality of tilting positions. Tilting of the article 102 when mounted onto the post 104 is achieved with the help of the arcuate array of holes 116.
In accordance with the present disclosure, the mounting plate 106 is extended from the surface of the article 102. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting plate 106 is integral to the surface of the article 102. In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting plate 106 is detachably fixed to the surface of the article 102 with the help of screws 120 and engaging elements 118.
The U-clamp 112 is defined by two prongs. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, the prongs are provided with threaded ends. The prongs are spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other. The prongs define a clamp recess therebetween. The clamp recess facilitates accommodation of the post 104. When the article 102 is required to be mounted on the post 104, the clamp support bracket 110 is disposed between the post 104 and the mounting plate 106 such that the recess 120 of the clamp support bracket 110 accommodates the post 104. The prongs are inserted through the corresponding bracket slots. Further, one of the prongs is inserted through the plate slot 114 and the other prong is inserted through one of the holes of the arcuate array of holes 116. Consequently, the prongs are bolted using the bolts 108 (shown in Figure 1) for mounting the article 102 onto the post 104.
The slot 114 is an elongated slot to provide adjustment while mounting the article 102 onto the post 104. Also, the elongated slot prevents buckling in case

of expansion of the prongs and contraction of the elongated slot due to the heating of the mounting assembly 100 when kept in the open environment.
Referring to Figure 5, the article 102 is mounted in a vertical downward tilt position onto a post 104. In this case, one of the prongs is inserted through the slot 114 and the other is inserted through a hole in the lower portion of the mounting plate 106.
Referring to Figure 6, the article 102 is mounted in a vertical upward tilt position onto a post 104. In this case, one of the prongs is inserted through the slot 114 and the other is inserted through a hole in the upper portion of the mounting plate 106.
Referring to Figure 7, the article 102 is mounted in a straight position onto a post 104. In this case, one of the prongs is inserted through the slot 114 and the other is inserted through a hole in the middle of the mounting plate 106 and having axis concurrent to the axis of the slot 114.
