Patent number: 8269680Abstract: A vehicle antenna assembly includes an element coil, a holder, and a retainer. The element coil can have a polygonal configuration in a cross-section taken normal to a coil access. The holder can include rails. The retainer can engage the rails and apply a compressive load on the element coil to fix the element coil with respect to the holder. A method for holding an antenna element is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Yokowo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidehito Oki, Masashi Noda, Seiji Go

Patent number: 7528784Abstract: An antenna is adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body. An antenna base is formed with a first through hole. A first fixing screw is provided with a thread portion adapted to be inserted into a second through hole formed in the vehicle body via the first through hole, and a head portion continued from the thread portion and having a size larger than the second through hole. A receptacle is provided on the antenna base and receiving the head portion such that an axis of the first fixing screw is swingable relative to the vehicle body. A nut is adapted to be fitted with the thread portion so as to clamp the vehicle body together with the head portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignees: Yokowo Co., Ltd, Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naofumi Yamada, Kazuki Katono, Hidehito Oki
