  • Patent number: 10122077
    Abstract: A mobile radio antenna includes a complete reflector is formed as one piece or by or connected to the at least one or more reflectors, or comprises at least one or more reflectors. The complete reflector comprises on the two outer longitudinal sides thereof extending in the longitudinal direction a first shield wall which shields the first and/or passive component space and/or distribution space, and a second shield wall connects directly or indirectly to the first shield wall. The two second shield walls extending on the longitudinal sides of the complete reflector protrude in the backwards direction of the antenna across a mounting plane or a section plane along which plane the first or passive component space and/or distribution space is separated or divided from the second or active component space.

  • Patent number: 9912035
    Abstract: A retaining and anchoring device forming a retaining and anchoring section on a metal plate on a reflector includes a recess provided in the metal plate. The recess has on an upper face of the metal plate a peripheral edge or edge sections spaced apart from one another. An undercut or several undercut sections are formed below the peripheral edge or the edge sections. The recess is free of bores or passages. A locking device prevents unintentional removal of a snap-on mechanism from the recess beyond an edge section or plural edge sections which cover the undercut section(s).

  • Patent number: 9692143
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electrical connection device on a plate-type or strip-type material (1, 1?), which cannot be soldered or is difficult to solder or which is provided with a surface that cannot be soldered or is difficult to solder, having the following characteristics: A self-clinching bolt (5) is provided with a bolt head (7) that, relative to the bolt body (9) beneath, has a tapered cross section such that the bolt head (7) transitions, by way of a conical or shoulder-like sloping flank (11), into the bolt body (9) having an outer circumference (9?) that has a diameter larger than that of the bolt head (7). The outer circumference (9?) of the bolt body (9) is of smooth design, or is provided with a knurling (15). In the penetration area of the self-clinching bolt (5), the plate-type or strip-type material (1, 1?) is provided with a non-flanged material edge (101).
