(under subclass 878) Subject matter wherein the supported antenna has a rod-like end portion, and the support is peculiarly adapted to engage this rod-like end portion.
(1) Note. The antennas in this subclass are usually rods supported at an end.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
715, for rod type antenna supported from a vehicle body.
872+, for protective supports or covers for antennas.
874+, for mast or tower type antennas. 882, for pivoted supports which may be combined with a rod-like antenna.

52, Static Structures (e.g., Buildings), appropriate subclasses for poles or posts of more general application even though such structure be merely defined as an antenna or antenna support, particularly
110, for a rod attached to a vehicle body, 111+ for a mechanism operated or relatively movable shaft assembly, 651.01+ for elongated three-dimensional openwork, and 720+ for miscellaneous shaft structures.
174, Electricity: Conductors and Insulators, appropriate subclasses for an antenna rod claimed by name only together with an insulating support and an electrical connector or terminal structure for connecting the rod to its energy source or load, particularly
84+, for conduits, cables and conductors combined with joints which may involve rod-like conductors; subclasses 138+ for insulators of special application; subclasses 151+ for insulators extending through a wall or plate; subclasses 158+ for insulator supporting or attaching means which may be used to support rods.
248, Supports, for an antenna rod defined by name only with a detailed support structure for that class, particularly
38+, for supports for staff type objects.
285, Pipe Joints or Couplings, pertinent subclasses, for pipe joints or couplings which may be used in supports for rod-like antennas which are supported at an end.
403, Joints and Connections, appropriate subclasses for a rod joint of general application.
