The coil element includes a supporting body and a winding held by the supporting body, and the supporting body has a support area and projections that are formed along an axial direction of the coil element and hold the winding in the support area.

Abstract: A vehicle antenna device has a stably held coil element while its winding shape is maintained, and the number of turns of the coil element winding is easily adjusted during production. A coil element is configured by forming a winding around a resin-made bobbin. A guide groove, which is a path of the winding, and a plurality of projections, which are along the path of the winding, are disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel of the bobbin. The guide groove spirally extends around the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel. The projections are disposed in plural numbers in each of a plurality of circumferential positions on the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel. A winding end portion of the winding is drawn out in the axial direction while being hooked to an arbitrary one of the projections, and electrically connected to an upper terminal.

Abstract: A structure for mounting an antenna device on a first side of a panel body is disclosed. A first fixation member includes a first end having a first width, a second end, and a slit connecting the first end and the second end. A protrusion is protruded from the antenna device and fitted into the first end of the first fixation member. A second fixation member is fitted into the second end of the first fixation member while being coupled with the protrusion in a screwing manner. The first width is smaller than an aperture formed in the panel body when the protrusion and the second fixation member are in a first screwing position, so that the protrusion, the first fixation member and the second fixation member are allowed to pass through the aperture from the first side to a second side thereof.
