  • Publication number: 20200259241
    Abstract: A vehicle antenna device has a high noise-resistance performance even in high-frequency bands and capable of preventing breakage of a connector due to corotation at the time of fastening/fixing. The vehicle antenna device includes a vehicle exterior antenna and a vehicle interior antenna module. The vehicle interior antenna module includes a circuit board, a module side coaxial connector, a housing and a protecting fixing part. When the vehicle interior antenna module is fastened/fixed to the vehicle exterior antenna through a roof, the protecting fixing part slidably fixes the circuit board to the housing with pressing force that the circuit board is slid where force applied to the module side coaxial connector is larger than a predetermined force if the vehicle exterior antenna and the vehicle interior antenna module corotate due to the fastening and that the circuit board is not slid by vibration of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9287610
    Abstract: The antenna device disclosed includes an insulating antenna case, an antenna base, an umbrella-type element, an amplifier substrate, and a coil. A lower surface of the insulating antenna case is open and a housing space is formed in the insulating antenna case. The antenna case is fitted on the antenna base. The umbrella-type element is provided on the antenna base. The amplifier substrate includes an amplifier which amplifies a signal received by the umbrella-type element, and is disposed on the antenna base. The coil is inserted between an output end of the umbrella-type element and an input end of the amplifier to make the umbrella-type element resonate at a predetermined frequency, and is disposed substantially at a center in a width direction of the umbrella-type element.

  • Patent number: 9225055
    Abstract: An outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall are formed in the lower part of a shark-fin antenna case. The lower end surface of the inner peripheral wall is bonded to the upper surface of an insulating base in an antenna base arranged on the lower surface of the antenna case. Thus, an antenna assembly can be housed in the antenna case which is constructed to be waterproof. The antenna assembly is provided with an element holder that is arranged upright on the antenna base; an umbrella-shaped element that is fixed to the top part of the element holder in such a way that the rear part thereof is positioned above the insulating base; an amplifier substrate for amplifying a reception signal of the umbrella-shaped element; and a coil that causes the umbrella-shaped element to resonate at the specified frequency.

  • Patent number: 5072607
    Abstract: A brake booster-mounting construction includes a reinforcement plate which is adapted to be fastened, jointly with a shell, to a fixing member by stud bolts extending outwardly from a shell wall. The brake booster-mounting construction is characterized in that; in its non-mounted condition, the reinforcement plate is abutted against an outer peripheral portion of said shell, and also that portion of the reinforcement plate to be jointly fastened by the stud bolts is spaced from the shell; and in its mounted condition, the reinforcement plate spring-urges a brake booster in a direction away from the fixing member.
