Patent abstract
An elevation mechanism for a satellite antenna system allows the antenna to be moved between a deployed position and a stowed position. The elevation mechanism includes a lift bar driven by a motor having one end pivotally connected to the back of the antenna and a pivot connection point pivotally connected to the base of the satellite antenna system. A tilt link bar has a first end pivotally connected to the back of the antenna and a second end pivotally connected to the base. The tilt link bar causes the antenna to pivot as the antenna moves between the stowed position and the deployed position so that in the stowed position the antenna faces downward.
