  • Patent number: 6686888
    Abstract: An antenna, especially for use with mobile radios, that is mounted in an opening of a motor vehicle. The antenna includes at least one radiator with connecting line and the radiator is mounted in the opening behind a nontransparent, nonconductive covering. In one embodiment the radiator is configured as a monopole with matched balancing antennae that are strip conductors laid out on a printed circuit board attached to a ventilation structure mounted in an opening behind a covering nonconductive bumper.

  • Patent number: 6624794
    Abstract: In an antenna having at least one vertical radiator, preferably a vehicle mobile radiotelephone antenna, the at least one vertical radiator is connected to the ground on one end and to a vertical conductor fed against the ground on the other end by means of an impedance transforming device having an electrical length which is approximately one fourth the mean operating wavelength or an uneven multiple thereof. Said structure makes it possible for the at least one vertical radiator to have a uniform current occupancy over its entire length. By cooperating with the vertical conductor fed in a co-radiating manner, said occupancy exhibits high radiation power comparable to that of a &lgr;/4 monopole antenna despite the fact that the at least one vertical radiator has a smaller length which is approximately {fraction (1/10)} of the mean operating wavelength. The invention also describes advantageous embodiments or configurations of said antenna and practical arrangements of said antenna in vehicles.

  • Patent number: 6315477
    Abstract: A writing device with a housing in which at least two writing elements are arranged and of which one is a lead insert. In order to facilitate the filling of a lead chamber of the lead insert an axially aligned fixed cylinder tube in a back housing part slides into an open top end of the lead chamber. An open top end of the cylinder tube therefore can be filled with lead anytime from a top in a housed as well as in a writing position of the lead insert by opening a top end of the housing.
