Definitions

  • the invention relates to an antenna for vehicles with an attachable to the vehicle housing hood, an antenna rod or an antenna rod, each with the aid of an adjustment in at least an upright and a vehicle folded down position movable and can be fixed in the positions, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an antenna is known from EP 0 701 295 A1.
  • a holder is attached to the housing cover, which has two eyelets, in which a pivot bar is mounted transversely to the pivoting direction, in which the antenna rod can be fastened with a screw.
  • both the beam on an outer side and the eyelets on the inner side gears for fixing the antenna rod in different positions.
  • this known object is therefore an elaborate construction, with many components and a complex assembly.
  • a large space requirement for the adjustment mechanism in or on the housing cover is required so that a suitable space for electronic components is missing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to simplify the generic antenna and thus cheaper and moreover to facilitate handling.
  • the adjusting mechanism has a pivot axis, which is arranged in the plane passing through the positions of the antenna rod or the antenna rod plane, and that the pivot axis by the amount of bisectors between the erected and the folded position to the longitudinal axis of the housing cover and / or the antenna rod or the antenna rod is inclined.
  • the pivot axis of the antenna rod or the antenna rod is thereby arranged inclined in the direction of the horizontal instead of their orientation in the longitudinal axis in the lying in the direction of travel of the vehicle vertical plane. Accordingly, if appropriate, the pivot axis is inclined in the housing cover.
  • the antenna rod of the housing cover adjacent has an extension in which a support element is arranged, which has a lying in the pivot axis pivot member, and that the pivot member is operatively connected to a guide bush, which is fixed in the housing cover ,
  • the pivoting element can be designed as a threaded bolt in a simple manner, which can be screwed into a threaded bore in the guide bushing.
  • threaded bolt may be provided outside the same still a smooth bolt piece, which cooperates with a matching bore in the guide bushing. But it can also be provided instead of the threaded bolt a smooth bolt which cooperates with a matching bore in the guide bushing. But then a locking of the antenna rod or the smooth bolt on the housing cover or the guide bush makes sense, so that the antenna rod is not accidentally lost or can be removed deliberately.
  • the pivoting element can also have a screw whose head engages behind the support element or a part thereof, wherein the screw can be screwed into the threaded bore of the guide bushing.
  • the screw needs only slightly loosened, so that the antenna rod can be swiveled by 180 °.
  • the screw head may be used to hinder theft of a special profile, e.g. Torx, hexagon socket or the like, wherein for additional security, the screw head can be arranged within the extension of the antenna rod and in the extension of an opening with respect to the screw head reduced cross section is provided through which a tool can be inserted. This is another obstacle to theft.
  • a locking unit for fixing the antenna rod is provided in at least the erected and folded position between the housing cover and the antenna rod.
  • This catch unit can be designed differently.
  • one or more depressions may be provided in the guide bushing, with which or at least one corresponding projection is operatively connected in a latching disk, wherein the latching disk is rotatably connected to the pivoting element and / or the support element and / or the extension of the antenna rod or vice versa.
  • the term “or vice versa” is used. This is to say that in all these combinations of features also a reversal of the components is possible.
  • projections may be provided on the guide bush and depressions on the detent disk.
  • this term should also indicate a reversal, in which the guide bushing is fixed to the antenna rod and the locking disk and the like on the housing cover.
  • the locking disk can be designed both as a fixed and as a spring-biased disc, wherein the spring preload improves the detent and the Tightening the antenna rod facilitates because it already engages before the antenna rod rests against the housing cover.
  • the locking disc can be screwed as a threaded sleeve on the threaded bolt and fixed there. It can also be otherwise secured by means of soldering, welding, caulking and the like on the threaded bolt or on the support element. It can also be designed as a rigid component and connected to the support element, in particular when the support element has an externally operable screw.
  • the latching unit can also include flats on an extension of the guide bushing and a U-shaped bracket adapted to the flats, wherein the clip is rotatably connected to the pivoting element and / or support element and / or the extension of the antenna rod or vice versa.
  • the latching unit can also spring-loaded projections, in particular balls, which cooperate with depressions in a counterpart, in particular a modified locking disc, wherein the projections are preferably arranged in the guide bush and the counterpart with the pivot member and / or support member and / or extension rotatably connected or vice versa.
  • a locking unit is provided as an anti-theft device between the antenna rod and the housing cover.
  • An anti-theft device as such is also known in the prior art, but it is not arranged between the antenna rod and the housing cover.
  • the locking unit advantageously has a cone connected to the guide bush, wherein between this and the guide bush, an outer groove is incorporated.
  • the locking unit further includes a U-spring having at its ends inwardly directed hooks, wherein the U-spring is connected to the pivoting element and / or support member and / or the extension of the antenna rod. The locking takes place in that the inwardly directed hooks engage in the groove.
  • This locking unit can be used both when a threaded bolt is provided, since the U-spring is screwed in conjunction with the rotational movement over the cone and engages in the outer groove.
  • the outer groove only has to be so wide that a turn of 180 ° is possible for pivoting the antenna rod.
  • the locking unit described can also be used in a smooth bolt, in which case the U-spring is pushed over the cone and then snaps into the outer groove.
  • the U-spring is either rotatably connected to the pivoting element and / or the support element, etc. or only axially fixed to these components, since it is only important that the U-spring is widened with its hook through the cone and the hook in the Engage outer groove.
  • the guide bushing can also have an opening for producing a locking unit, in the depth of which an internal groove is provided, in which case a U-spring with external hook is provided, which is connected to the pivoting element and / or supporting element and / or the extension or vice versa.
  • the locking unit and the locking unit can form a structural unit. This can be done, for example, that the cone or the inner wall of the opening and / or the outer or inner groove have flats that are in operative connection with the hooks of the U-spring or with the legs of the U-spring.
  • At least one sealing lip is provided at the extension of the antenna rod, which is in operative connection with sealing surfaces on the guide bush and / or the housing cover outside the guide bush.
  • Such a seal is particularly easy to represent, since during operation usually only one rotation about the seal takes place by 180 ° in one or the other direction of rotation.
  • a separate sealing element e.g. an O-ring, which is inserted between the extension of the antenna rod and the guide bush and / or the housing cover is conceivable.
  • a clamping piece is provided between the housing cover and the antenna rod, that the clamping piece coaxially aligned with the antenna rod and with a screw and / or notches with the antenna rod rotatably and / or axially fixed, that the guide bush has a radially free-standing ring, that the clamping piece spring hook for engaging behind the ring and that the spring hooks are designed as a pivoting element.
  • the formation of the spring hook as a pivoting element means on the one hand that they can slide on the freestanding ring and on the other hand, that this sliding axis corresponds to the pivot axis, that is, as described above, inclined.
  • a conventional antenna rod can be used, which is provided at its lower end with a straight screw. He needs no support element and no lying in the pivot axis pivoting element. The pivot mechanism is thereby moved into the clamping piece, which is in operative connection with the corresponding housing cover or the special guide bushing. It should be expressly understood, however, that the clamping piece can also be designed so that it is formed in two parts and the obliquely oriented adjustment mechanism is arranged between these components, so that the connections of a clamping piece coaxially to the antenna rod and the other clamping piece coaxially to the Housing cover can be connected.
  • a cone head is provided on the guide bush within the free-standing ring, which can be connected to a Verhakelement which is mounted within the clamping piece, and can be further brought into operative connection with the screw on the antenna rod.
  • a determination of the pivotal movement of the antenna rod can be done as a detent unit.
  • This determination can be further enhanced by the fact that the cone head has flattenings which are assigned at least to the end positions of the antenna rod.
  • corresponding interlocking form elements on clamping piece and guide bushing and / or housing cover are conceivable.
  • a transverse pin is provided in the Verhakelement as the locking unit, which is the Screw on a heel of the screw engages behind.
  • the Verhakelement can be made in two parts in its longitudinal axis direction, wherein when mounting the two part halves on the screw of the antenna rod engages behind a shoulder of the Verhakelements in the shoulder of the screw.
  • the engagement in the shoulder of the screw after screwing the antenna rod into the Verhakelement by local deformation (eg compression) of the same is generated.
  • It can also be provided at the end of the screw, a clamping ring which protects against unscrewing and represents an anti-theft device.
  • the guide bushing can also have at least two boreholes or threaded bores associated with the end positions of the antenna rod, into which the screw can be screwed onto the antenna rod or can be inserted with a round bolt piece.
