  • Patent number: 8844893
    Abstract: The invention is a unit for fixing an antenna, comprising: a base element suited to support the antenna, provided with a contact surface suited to rest against a plate-like supporting body; a fixing element comprising a main body suited to be connected to the base element through joining means that define a connection direction, and a projecting body mainly developed according to the connection direction and associated with the main body through a deformable connection section. The projecting body has a reference surface facing a corresponding thrust surface of the main body and spaced from it, the connection section being configured so that its deformation makes it possible to move near each other and bring into contact the reference surface and the thrust surface when the fixing element is connected to the base element.

  • Publication number: 20110260030
    Abstract: The invention is a device (1) for fixing an antenna to a supporting surface (S), comprising a base plate (2) arranged against the supporting surface (S) and a fixing element (3) that communicates with an underlying opening (5) made in the supporting surface (S). In this fixing device the fixing element (3) is provided with a first and a second set of projecting elastic tabs (8, 9) suited to lock the base plate (2) to the supporting surface (S), through the thrusting action of the first set of elastic tabs (8) against the wall (10) of the supporting surface (S) and the insertion of the second set of elastic tabs (9) in a plurality of recesses (12) present on the edge of the opening (5) when the first and second set of elastic tabs (8, 9) are positioned in the opening (5) through the insertion and the successive shifting of the base plate (2) with respect to the supporting surface (S).

  • Patent number: 6100852
    Abstract: An car antenna having anti-theft features including a rod for receiving radio-frequency signals; a support base to be secured to a support surface; and a joint secured in the base. The rod or the joint includes an elastic element for allowing the base and joint to be unidirectionally coupled and snapped together. The joint may also include articulating portions allowing the antenna position to be adjusted.
