Abstract: An antenna unit includes a feeding component 40 and a metal plate 50 on which the feeding component 40 is mounted. The feeding component 40 has an attaching member 43 made of resin to support a feeding line against the metal plate. The metal plate 50 has a pair of cut and raised parts 51 at both ends thereof while the attaching member 43 has a pair of locking hooks 432 at both ends thereof. The locking hooks are partly inserted into the cut and raised parts and thereby the feeding component is attached to the metal plate without projecting any parts of the attaching member from a rear surface of the metal plate.

Abstract: A feeding component 40 has a wire (or a feeding line) 42 and an attaching member 43 made of resin. The attaching member 43 provides wire receiving grooves 43a and 43b to receive and support the wire 42. At least one pair of wire holding parts 43d are formed on inner wall defining the wire receiving grooves 43a and 43b. The wire holding parts 43d of each pair are opposite to each other and inclined to narrow a width of the wire receiving groove 43a or 43b with increasing proximity to an upper side of the wire receiving groove 43a or 43b. The wire holding parts 43d hold the wire 42 put into the wire receiving grooves 43a and 43b.

Abstract: A tuner device comprising: a tuner module, disposed on a surface of a substrate and comprising: a circuit component adapted to demodulate a signal received from an antenna device; a printed circuit board mounted with the circuit component and a plurality of connector pins extending perpendicular to the surface of the substrate; and a metallic case, housing the printed circuit board so as to shield the circuit component, and made of an unsolderable material; and a bracket made of a solderable material, and fixed to the metallic case while holding the tuner module so as to dispose the tuner module on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: For fixing an object to a fixing plate by a fixing portion of the object and a fixing member, a fixing device includes a first screw member formed on the object and a second screw member corresponding to the first screw member. The fixing member includes a bottom plate portion provided with a through hole allowing a threaded portion of the second screw member to pass therethrough and a plurality of spring portions extending from the bottom plate portion in one direction. The bottom plate portion has an outer dimension smaller than a fixing hole formed on the fixing plate. A combination of the spring portions extends in the one direction from the bottom plate portion having an outer dimension greater than the fixing hole in at least an upper part thereof. Each of the spring portions has lateral sides provided with cut-away portions formed by cutting the lateral sides from the bottom plate portion in the one direction.

Abstract: The present invention is applied to a tuner module comprising a circuit as a constituent component for tuning at the time of radio signal reception and a metal case made of aluminum and receiving the circuit. The circuit includes at least one IC component. In the metal case, a heat conductive sheet is attached between the at least one IC component and the metal case so as to be in contact with them. Furthermore, a heat radiating sheet is attached to an outer surface of the metal case.

Abstract: A hinge portion is formed on the base portion. An antenna portion is attached to the hinge portion so as to be pivotable thereabout. The hinge portion includes a hinge base having a first shaft formed on one end thereof, a second shaft formed on the other end thereof, and a first protrusion formed on an outer periphery of the second shaft, and a hinge bush rotatably mounted on the first shaft and engaged with the antenna portion. The antenna portion is formed with a hole surrounding the outer periphery of the second shaft. A projection is formed on an inner periphery of the hole. The first protrusion is brought into contact with the projection when the antenna portion is pivoted so as to define a predetermined angle with respect to the base portion.

Abstract: An antenna unit includes an antenna module that receives radio waves sent from a satellite or earth, a cover member that has enough inner space to house the antenna module and has an opened bottom surface, and a bottom plate that closes the opened bottom surface of the cover member, and the antenna unit is attached to a resin-made attachment part. A metal sheet is provided on a back surface side of the resin-made attachment part, and the antenna unit is adhesive bonded and fixed on a surface side of the resin-made attachment part correspondingly to an arrangement position of the metal sheet.

Abstract: An antenna element including first and second pole antenna elements is inserted in an antenna case. In the antenna case, a main circuit board having first and second surfaces opposite to each other is mounted. Mounted on the first surface of the main circuit board, a first antenna unit receives a first radio wave from a first kind of satellites. Mounted on the first surface of the main circuit board, a second antenna unit receives a second radio wave from a second kind of satellites. On the second surface of the main circuit board, a booster circuit for the first pole antenna element is mounted.

Abstract: A brass washer is mounted on a cable at one end portion of the cable by being staked to a skin of the cable. The skin of the cable is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE. Subsequently, a bushing member is integrally molded on the washer to the cable by injection molding. The bushing member is made of polyvinyl chloride or PVC. Thereby, a cable bush is mounted on the cable such that the cable bush is securely fixed to the cable.

Abstract: A new attachment structure for an antenna unit includes a gasket that prevents entry of water and is configured to have an improved external appearance. An antenna unit includes an antenna module which receives radio waves transmitted from a satellite and a cover member which has inner space large enough to house the antenna module. The cover member has an opened bottom surface which joins with a bottom plate that closes the opened bottom surface of the cover member. A gasket covers at least a periphery of the bottom plate. The gasket comes into contact with the inner surface of the cover member to seal the inner space. Because the gasket does not have a cover portion which covers the outer surface of the cover member, the problem of reduced waterproofed quality when the cover portion is pulled can be prevented, while also providing a fine appearance.

Abstract: A protector-equipped antenna unit has an antenna body including an antenna case, a cable derived from the antenna case to the outside, and a protector having a shape corresponding to an outside shape of the antenna body and of the cable. Inasmuch as the protector-equipped antenna has the protector having the shape corresponding to the outside shape of the antenna body and of the cable, it is possible to use an already-existing antenna unit as the antenna body.
