Patent number: 9843094Abstract: A glass antenna provided on vehicle side glass has a power feeding portion disposed at side portion of the side glass, a main element connected to the power feeding portion and a square bracket-shaped element whose one end is connected to some midpoint of the main element. When frequency band of FM broadcast wave received by the antenna is divided into two frequency bands with respect to its center frequency, wavelength of center frequency of frequency band of low frequency is ?, and wavelength of center frequency of frequency band of high frequency. Also wavelength shortening coefficient of the side glass is ?. In this condition, either one of length of the main element or length from the power feeding portion up to an opening end of the square bracket-shaped element is set to ?·?·¾, and the other is set to ?·??·¾.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Central Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Shingo Tadokoro, Takayuki Suzuki

Patent number: 5461391Abstract: A second antenna is provided to a vehicle rear window glass in order to prevent a fall or dip of the gain of the antenna system in a particular direction or directions, thereby improving the directivity characteristic and increasing the gain. The second antenna consists of a feed point and a pair of first and second elements connected to the feed point. The first element has, in an area of the space above a first antenna or in a space defined between the upper and lower ends of a first antenna, at least one horizontal conductive strip. In one embodiment, in which the feed point is arranged in a marginal area of the space under the defogging heater element, the first element further has a vertical conductive strip arranged in an area of the space between the heater element and a lateral edge of the window glass.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1993Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Central Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Masahiro Ohnishi, Yoji Nagayama, Shingo Tadokoro
