  • Patent number: 7358926
    Abstract: An antenna device is provided that is preferably used for various wireless devices such as television receivers and the like. An antenna rod can be stopped at a predetermined angle position via a hinge mechanism. The antenna device includes a hinge mechanism by which a biasing force of a coil spring stored in an antenna base causes an upper end of a circular-cylindrical projection of an abutting member to be abutted with an end face of a projection section of an intermediate member fixed to a lower part or antenna rod, thereby stopping the antenna rod at a predetermined angle position. When the antenna rod is moved to a different angle position, the abutting member has a biased movement in the downward direction. This can suppress the wear of the circular-cylindrical projection.

  • Patent number: 7342542
    Abstract: A first antenna element is formed by a press-fitting first member and a second member to each other, and a second antenna element is formed by press-fitting a first member and a second member to each other. Respective members are fixed to a base by riveting, thereby achieving the antenna. This structure allows determining arbitrarily splitting positions and shapes of members of the first antenna element and the members of the second antenna element. The antenna can be obtained at an inexpensive cost even if an external appearance of the antenna is specified to be an irregular shape.

  • Patent number: 7193564
    Abstract: An antenna device includes an electrically insulating base section and a metallic first antenna element fixed to the base section. The first antenna element includes an adjusting section shaped like a ladder or a lattice, which is formed of rails confronting each other and connecting bars which couple a part of the rails. The structure discussed above allows the adjusting section to adjust frequency characteristics corresponding to the antenna element to desirable ones with ease, so that a basic tooling die can be commonly used and standardized antenna device is obtainable with ease.

    Abstract: An antenna device is provided that is preferably used for various wireless devices, television receivers and the like. An antenna rod can be stopped at a predetermined angle position via a hinge mechanism. The antenna device includes hinge mechanism (41) by which a biasing force by coil spring (51) stored in antenna base (21) causes an upper end of circular-cylindrical projection (61A) of abutting member (61) to be abutted with an end face of projection section (81A) of intermediate member (81) fixed to a lower part or antenna rod (31), thereby stopping antenna rod (31) at a predetermined angle position. When antenna rod (31) is moved to a different angle position, abutting member (61) has a biased movement in the lower direction. This can suppress the wear of circular-cylindrical projection (61A).

  • Patent number: 6842142
    Abstract: A built-in type antenna, with which the electrical connection to a wiring pattern on wiring board can be managed with ease, and the electrical connection can be implemented within a small area. The antenna comprises a base body, on which an antenna element portion is fixed, and a conductive pin having electrical connection with the antenna element portion is disposed in the base body so that the pin can move ups and downs. The bottom end of conductive pin makes an elastic contact to a wiring pattern on wiring board.
