  • the Bosch antenna "Multi-NTR 101" is already known a combination antenna for navigation, radio and Radio applications represents.
  • This antenna comprises a Coil spring, in the one hand, a threaded bolt for Attachment to a vehicle body and on the other hand Retaining bolt is screwed, which carries an antenna rod.
  • From DE 30 36 084 is a rod antenna, in particular for FM broadcast, known to be from one to the top of the antenna tapered insulator rod over Almost the entire length of a helical Wire winding is formed.
  • a lower end area of Isolierstoffstabes is unwound and carries a sleeve-shaped approach of a fitting.
  • the Connecting piece is via an elastic spacer with another connector mechanically and electrically connected.
  • the elastic intermediate piece contains a Coil spring, one end of which with the fitting and the other end with the other connector mechanically and is electrically connected.
  • US 4,914,450 is a flexible antenna radiator with a coil spring for receiving an antenna rod by means of a holding element known, on the one hand the Antenna rod carries and on the other hand with the coil spring is screwed, wherein the holding element is a tubular Receiving the antenna rod and wherein the tubular receptacle on its outside a thread-like Profile, which screwed into the coil spring is.
  • an antenna which is mounted on a Side an antenna rod and on the other side Includes fastener, wherein the antenna rod and the Fastener by means of one of an elastic Material surrounded spring are connected to each other.
  • the screw element a Coil spring comprises, in a likewise a Screw spring screwed comprehensive nut can be.
  • This device can be used to attach a Antenna can be used on a vehicle body.
  • the inventive flexible antenna radiator with the Features of the main claim has the advantage over that the holding element is a tubular receptacle for the Antenna rod and that the tubular receptacle to its outside has a thread-like profile, the in the coil spring is screwed in.
  • the holding element is a tubular receptacle for the Antenna rod and that the tubular receptacle to its outside has a thread-like profile, the in the coil spring is screwed in.
  • the retaining element only slightly protruding from the coil spring and a minimum distance between one outside the Coil spring or outside of the retaining element on the Antenna rod applied winding and the coil spring can be realized.
  • the retaining element as form deformable sleeve whose inner diameter is about corresponds to the outer diameter of the antenna rod, so that when inserting the antenna rod on its outside is deformed so that the thread-like profile results.
  • a sleeve is a special inexpensive mass products, whose thread is also automatically when inserting the antenna rod through Deformation results and thus are not produced separately got to. Effort and costs in the production of the flexible Antenna radiator can thus be reduced.
  • Another advantage is that between the Antenna rod and the tubular recording a conduction band is inserted, which is guided inside the coil spring and electrically bridged the coil spring. To this Way, the functionality of the retaining element continues Increased by it even for mounting and electrical Contacting the conduction band with the coil spring serves. By the electrical bridging of the coil spring through the conduction band remains the electrical length of the flexible antenna radiator even with bending of the Coil spring unchanged, so that the transmitting and Reception characteristics of the flexible antenna radiator not be affected.

  • the threaded bolt 40 includes a thread 45, which is about the winding pattern of Coil spring 5 corresponds and at a first end 50 of Coil spring 5 is screwed into this. Since the Core diameter of the thread 45 of the threaded bolt 40 larger is formed as the inner diameter of the coil spring 5 in this way a positive and non-positive connection between the coil spring 5 and the threaded bolt 40th Between the coil spring 5 and the thread 45 of the Threaded bolt 40 is still a conduction band 30th trapped. Both the coil spring 5 and the Conduction band 30 are made of electrically conductive material, formed for example of a metal. Thus arises between the coil spring 5 and the conduction band 30 on first end 50 of the coil spring 5 is an electrically conductive Connection.
  • the Retaining element 15 comprises a tubular receptacle 20 in the an antenna rod 10 is inserted.
  • the tubular Pick-up 20 has on its outside a e.g. thread-like profile 25, which is about the winding pattern of Coil spring 5 corresponds and at the second end 55 of the Coil spring 5 is screwed into this. Since also the Core diameter of the thread-like profile 25 is greater than the inner diameter of the coil spring 5, that is Retaining element 15 with the inserted antenna rod 10 form and non-positively connected to the coil spring 5.
  • the retaining element 15 as a deformable sleeve, be formed for example as tinned collar sleeve, whose inner diameter is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the Antenna rod 10 corresponds, so that they during insertion of the Antenna rod 10 is deformed on its outer side so that the thread-like profile 25 results.
  • To the Introduction of the antenna rod 10 in the holding element 15 to Simplify this at one of its ends have enlarging diameter. At this end that will be Holding element 15 then less or not deformed, so that this end is not inserted into the coil spring 5 and consequently stands out from it.
  • the antenna rod 10 in the Held coil spring 5 and protrudes into it.
  • the conduction band 30 can according to the figure between the Antenna rod 10 and the tubular receptacle 20 inserted be.
  • the conduction band 30 was already before introduction of the antenna rod 10 in the tubular receptacle 20th inserted.
  • the conduction band 30 against pressed the tubular receptacle 20. If both that Conduction band 30 and the holding member 15 with the tubular receptacle 20 made of electrically conductive material are formed, it creates an electrical in this way conductive connection between the conduction band 30 and the tubular receiving 20.
  • the conduction band 30 As well as the coil spring 5 off is formed electrically conductive material, arises on this way also an electrically conductive connection between the conduction band 30 and the coil spring 5 in Area of the holding element 15 and thus at the second end 55th the coil spring 5.
  • the conduction band 30 is in the Inside the coil spring 5 out.
  • an electrical Winding 35 for example in the form of a metal wire, applied on the antenna rod 10.
  • the electrical winding 35 can already before introduction of the antenna rod 10 in the tubular Recording 20 may be applied to the antenna rod 10.
  • To Introduction of the antenna rod 10 in the tubular Recording 20 is that of the coil spring 5 and the Holding element 15 facing the end of the winding 35 outside the coil spring 5 and outside the tubular Recording 20.
  • the antenna rod 10 should be as possible as far as be inserted into the tubular receptacle 20, that the holding element 15 facing the end of the electrical Winding 35 as little as possible spaced from the holding element 15 is.
