US Patent:

20210328541, Oct 21, 2021
Filed:

Apr 20, 2020
Appl. No.:

16/852664
Inventors:

- Chapel Hill NC, US
Robert J. Surra - Cary NC, US
International Classification:

H02S 20/32
F16H 57/029
F24S 30/425
F24S 40/10
Abstract:

Device for securing an orientation of photovoltaic panels includes a stem for supporting an array assembly of photovoltaic panels for producing an electrical current when exposed to sunlight. The array assembly also includes eye blades positioned on a side opposite to a photovoltaic panel carrying side. The device further includes a joint interconnecting the stem and the eye blades of the array assembly. The joint includes a hollow horizontal conduit and a bolting mechanism for adjustably coupling the eye blades to lateral ends of the horizontal conduit. A side of each eye blade facing the horizontal conduit carries an eye blade gear that cooperatively meshes with a conduit gear carried at or near a lateral end of the horizontal conduit to secure the array assembly at a predetermined angle relative to a longitudinal axis passing through the stem.
