  • Patent number: 5113195
    Abstract: A glass window antenna for use in a motor vehicle provides satisfactory antenna characteristics while making best use of the space of a glass window with a heating conductor as the main antenna element which is heated by a pair of power supply lines through choke coils. In a preferred embodiment, a capacitor is connected across the power supply lines at a position between the choke coils and the heating conductor to minimize the loss or leakage of radio signals from the heating conductor through the choke coils. A symmetrical pair of wires coupled with each other is formed on the glass window and connected to ends of the heating conductor to improve a radio wave reception gain.

  • Patent number: 5079560
    Abstract: A vehicle window glass is provided with an antenna to be fit in a window frame of a vehicle such as an automobile. The antenna comprises a plurality of antenna elements which are disposed on a portion of the glass extending generally alongside the window frame. Thus, the antenna elements are spaced from the window frame at a reference or ground potential and preferably close to the sides of the frame. The antenna elements are each designed to have a different length from one another so that they can receive radio waves covering a relatively broad frequency band with a relatively high sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 5017933
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a vehicle window equipped with a radio antenna as well as a heating defroster. A laminated window glass is employed advantageously which comprises inner and outer plates of glass facing respectively the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The heating structure is mounted on a first surface of the laminated glass. At least part of the antenna elements is formed on a second surface which is different from the first surface supporting the heater elements. The antenna bearing surface and/or heater bearing surface may be any surface of the laminated glass; the outer surface of the outer glass plate should be excluded from the supporting surface, however, because such surface is exposed to the exterior of the vehicle. Therefore, a relatively large area is always available for the antenna structure irrespective of the size of the window. It becomes more flexible and easier to make the design of antenna having the desired characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4736206
    Abstract: Windshield glass for a vehicle is disclosed including heating conductive wires for defogging and antenna wires for receiving a radio wave. The reception signal of the antenna is derived from an output at the center of the windshield glass and is led out through a lead wire to a feeding point positioned at a side portion of the windshield glass. A pair of auxiliary elements extends over a whole length of upper and lower sides of the lead wire. The auxiliary elements are connected to one of a pair of power supply buses of the heating conductive wires for removing influence of the lead wire on reception characteristics of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 4727377
    Abstract: A pair of antenna elements are mounted on a glass of a rear quarter window of a vehicle. Feed points of these elements are provided at a corner portion of the window. One antenna element extends clockwise about the center of the window glass and the other antenna element extends counterclockwise thereabout from their corresponding feed points. The characteristics of both antenna elements significantly differ and complement each other. It is convenient for a diversity reception system. An auxiliary element branches from one antenna element to extend along the other antenna element. The auxiliary element compensates for impedance characteristics of the antenna elements to tune up reception characteristics thereof.

  • Patent number: 4589901
    Abstract: An apparatus for bending a glass sheet has at least a lower mold, a conveyor device for conveying the heated glass sheet to a prescribed position over the lower mold, and a plurality of rolls for supporting the glass sheet in the prescribed position. A method of bending a glass sheet is carried out by utilizing the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a device for lowering the rolls to a position below the shaping surface of the lower mold, and an arrangement in the lower mold for accommodating the rolls which have been lowered. The apparatus may additionally have an upper mold coacting with the lower mold. The method comprises the steps of lowering the rolls below the shaping surface of the lower mold, transferring the glass sheet from the rolls onto the shaping surface of the lower mold while the rolls are lowered, and bending the glass sheet into conformity with the shaping surface of the lower mold under gravitational forces.
