Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere Dachantennen für Kraftfahrzeuge mit aufschraubbarer Antennenrute gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des jeweiligen unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention relates in particular to roof antennas for motor vehicles with a spin-on antenna rod according to the features of the preamble of the respective independent patent claim.

Bei Dachantennen für Fahrzeuge wird die Antennnenrute mit einem Außengewindeansatz versehen und in der Abdeckhaube befindet sich ein dazu passendes Befestigungsteil in Form einer Gewindebuchse, in die die Antennenrute eingeschraubt wird. Die folgenden Beschreibungen beschränken sich auf diese üblichste Ausführungsform, wenngleich es auch die Ausführung gibt, dass in der Antennnenrute ein Innengewinde vorhanden ist und in der Abdeckhaube ein dazu passendes Teil mit einem Gewindestift, worauf die Erfindung ebenfalls anwendbar ist. Auch ist die Erfindung sinngemäß für jegliche andere denkbare Verbindungsart der Antennenrute auf der Abdeckhaube anwendbar, wie z.B. eine Steckverbindung der Antennnenrute in der Abdeckhaube etc.In roof antennas for vehicles Antennnenrute is provided with an external thread approach and in the cover is a matching fastener in the form of a threaded bushing, in which the antenna rod is screwed. The following descriptions are limited to this most common embodiment, although there is also the embodiment that in the Antennnenrute an internal thread is present and in the cover a matching part with a threaded pin, to which the invention is also applicable. Also, the invention is mutatis mutandis applicable to any other conceivable connection of the antenna rod on the cover, such. a connector of Antennnenrute in the cover etc.

Die üblicherweise metallische Gewindebuchse hat zum einen die Funktion, die Antennenrute mechanisch auf der Abdeckhaube zu fixieren und Kräfte, die im Betrieb des Fahrzeugs auf die Antennnenrute einwirken, aufzunehmen, und zum anderen das elektrische Signal von der Antennnenrute durch die Abdeckhaube hindurch ins Innere der Dachantenne weiterzuleiten, wo es üblicherweise von einer Kontaktfeder auf einer Leiterplatte zur weiteren elektronischen Verarbeitung abgenommen wird. Damit die Buchse stabil und wasserdicht in der Abdeckhaube fixiert ist, ist die Gewindebohrung als Sackloch ausgeführt und die Buchse wird üblicherweise bei der Fertigung der Abdeckhaube im Kunststoff-Spritzgußverfahren als Einlegeteil mit eingeformt.The usually metallic threaded bushing has, on the one hand, the function of mechanically fixing the antenna rod to the cover hood and absorbing forces acting on the antenna rod during operation of the vehicle, and, on the other hand, the electrical signal from the antenna rod through the cover hood into the roof antenna forward, where it is usually removed from a contact spring on a circuit board for further electronic processing. Thus, the socket is fixed stable and waterproof in the cover, the threaded hole is designed as a blind hole and the socket is Usually formed in the manufacture of the cover in the plastic injection molding process as an insert with.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, das Befestigungsteil für die Antennenrute so zu gestalten, dass es zusätzlich zu den oben beschriebenen Funktionen noch weitere sinnvolle Funktionen übernehmen kann. Insbesondere soll es möglich sein, über das Befestigungsteil einen Zugang ins Innere der Dachantenne zu öffnen und wieder zu verschließen, durch den hindurch z.B. ein Befestigungselement der Dachantenne erreicht und betätigt werden kann. Alternativ oder ergänzend soll mit dem Befestigungsteil die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, eine die Abdeckhaube umgebende Überhaube zu montieren.The invention is based on the object of designing the fastening part for the antenna rod so that it can take on additional useful functions in addition to the functions described above. In particular, it should be possible to open through the fastening part access to the interior of the roof antenna and close it again, through which e.g. a fastener of the roof antenna can be reached and operated. Alternatively or additionally to be created with the attachment part, the possibility to mount a hood surrounding the cover.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des jeweiligen unabhängigen Patentanspruchs gelöst.This object is solved by the features of the respective independent patent claim.

Erfindungsgemäß ist in der ersten Alternative vorgesehen, dass in der Abdeckhaube ein eine Durchführung aufweisendes Aufnahmeteil angeordnet ist, in dem ein Rutenende der Antennenrute einsetzbar ist, nachdem ein das Befestigungselement betätigendes Werkzeug zur Montage der Dachantenne auf dem Fahrzeugdach durch die Durchführung geführt wurde. Damit übernimmt das Aufnahmeteil zwei Aufgaben: Einerseits ermöglicht die Durchführung des Werkzeuges, die Dachantenne von außerhalb des Fahrzeuges auf dem Fahrzeugdach zu befestigen Ein solcher Zugang, der ansonsten auch an einer anderen Stelle der Abdeckhaube realisiert werden könnte, hat den Vorteil, dass er später im Betrieb durch die montierte Antennnenrute abgedeckt wird und damit unsichtbar ist, so dass keinerlei Beeinträchtigung der Abdeckhauben-Optik stattfindet und der Zugang gegen Spritzwasser und Verschmutzung geschützt ist. Nachdem die Montage der Dachantenne erfolgt ist, wird das Aufnahmeteil von dem Rutenende oder gegebenenfalls vorher von einem weiteren separaten Teil verschlossen, um den Innenraum der Dachantenne abzudecken. Dies ist insbesondere dann erforderlich, wenn unter der Abdeckhaube im Innenraum der Dachantenne noch weitere Elemente (wie Antennenstrahler, Elektroniken, GPS-Module oder dergleichen angeordnet sind. Bezüglich der Ausführungen dieses Aufnahmeteiles, das eine Durchführung aufweist, wird auch auf die folgende Figurenbeschreibung verwiesen.According to the invention, it is provided in the first alternative that a receiving part having a bushing is arranged in the cover, in which a rod end of the antenna rod can be inserted, after a tool actuating the fastening element for mounting the roof antenna has been guided through the bushing on the vehicle roof. Thus, the receiving part takes on two tasks: On the one hand allows the implementation of the tool to attach the roof antenna from outside the vehicle on the vehicle roof Such access, which could otherwise be realized at another point of the cover, has the advantage that he later in the Operation is covered by the mounted antenna rod and thus invisible, so that no impairment of the cover optics takes place and the access is protected against splash water and contamination. After the mounting of the roof antenna has taken place, the receiving part of the rod end or optionally previously closed by another separate part to cover the interior of the roof antenna. This is necessary, in particular, if further elements (such as antenna radiators, electronics, GPS modules or the like are arranged underneath the cover hood in the interior of the roof antenna.) With regard to the embodiments of this receiving part which has a leadthrough, reference is also made to the following description of the figures.

In einer zweiten Alternative der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass in der Abdeckhaube ein Aufnahmeteil angeordnet ist, in dem ein Rutenende der Antennenrute einsetzbar ist, wobei die Dachantenne die Abdeckhaube umgebende Überhaube aufweist und das Aufnahmeteil zur Festlegung der Überhaube ausgebildet ist. Die Überhaube dient dem Zweck, bei ansonsten gleichem Aufbau der Dachantenne mit Innenleben und Abdeckhaube unterschiedliche Geometrien, Farben oder dergleichen mittels der Überhaube zu realisieren, ohne dass hierfür Änderungen an der Abdeckhaube erforderlich sind. Außerdem verbessert das Vorhandensein der Überhaube die Stabilität und die Einwirkung von äußeren Einflüssen wie mechanischen Beanspruchungen (z.B. in einer Waschstraße) oder Regen, Eis, Fahrtwind oder dergleichen. In diesem Fall ist das Aufnahmeteil dazu ausgebildet, die Überhaube an der Abdeckhaube festzulegen und anschließend die Antennenrute aufzunehmen. Bezüglich einer solchen Ausgestaltung wird ebenfalls auf die folgende Figurenbeschreibung verwiesen.In a second alternative of the invention it is provided that in the cover a receiving part is arranged, in which a rod end of the antenna rod can be inserted, wherein the roof antenna has the covering hood surrounding the hood and the receiving part is designed for fixing the overcap. The bonnet serves the purpose of realizing different geometries, colors or the like by means of the bonnet with otherwise identical construction of the roof antenna with inner life and cover without this changes to the cover are required. In addition, the presence of the overcap improves the stability and the impact of external influences such as mechanical stresses (e.g., in a car wash) or rain, ice, wind, or the like. In this case, the receiving part is adapted to set the bonnet on the cover and then take the antenna rod. With regard to such a configuration, reference is also made to the following description of the figures.

Bei dieser Alternative kann also in das Aufnahmeteil (mit oder ohne Befestigungsteil) eine Haltefunktion für eine Design-Überhaube, die z.B. in Wagenfarbe lackiert sein kann, integriert werden. Mit einer solchen Konstruktion kann ein Bedürfnis der Fahrzeughersteller nach einer solchen optisch hochwertigen Ausführung einer Dachantenne erfüllt werden, und zwar auch optional. Das heißt, auf eine normale Dachantenne mit schwarzer Standard-Abdeckhaube kann - auch nachträglich - zusätzlich eine Überhaube mit lackierter, strukturierter, marmorierter oder in anderer Weise optisch aufgewerteter Ausführung angebracht werden. Zudem ergibt sich damit der Vorteil, dass die Design-Überhauben flexibel mit den elektronischen Varianten der Dachantenne kombiniert werden können, so dass die Variantenvielfalt sich nicht aus Anzahlen der Elektronikvarianten multipliziert z.B. mit Karosseriefarbvarianten ergibt, sondern die Variantenanzahl insgesamt klein gehalten werden kann.In this alternative, therefore, in the receiving part (with or without fastening part), a holding function for a design hood, the e. can be painted in body color, integrated. With such a construction, a need of the vehicle manufacturer for such a high-quality optical design of a roof antenna can be met, and optionally also. That is, on a normal roof antenna with black standard cover can - even later - additionally a hood with painted, structured, marbled or otherwise visually upgraded design can be attached. In addition, this results in the advantage that the design hoods can be flexibly combined with the electronic variants of the roof antenna, so that the variety of variants are not multiplied by numbers of electronic variants, e.g. with body color variations, but the number of variants can be kept small overall.

Darüber hinaus ist es dankbar, das Aufnahmeteil so zu gestalten, dass mit ihm die beiden alternativen Lösungen, jetzt aber ergänzend realisierbar sind. So kann das Aufnahmeteil sowohl die Durchführung für das Montagewerkzeug aufweisen und gleichzeitig zur Festlegung der Überhaube an der Abdeckhaube ausgebildet sein.In addition, it is grateful to design the receiving part so that with him the two alternative solutions, but now complementary feasible. Thus, the receiving part both have the implementation of the assembly tool and at the same time be designed to determine the bonnet on the cover.

Eine solche Ausgestaltung ist zwar in der Figurenbeschreibung nicht erwähnt und in den Figuren nicht gezeigt, ergibt sich aber aus der Kombination des Aufnahmeteils gemäß Figur 1 in Kombination mit der Befestigung der Überhaube gemäß der Figur 3.Although such an embodiment is not mentioned in the description of the figures and not shown in the figures, it results from the combination of the receiving part according to FIG. 1 in combination with the attachment of the overcap according to FIG. 3.

In this arrangement, it is essential that the longitudinal axis of the receiving part 13 and the orientation of the fastening element 3 and the longitudinal axis of the introduced there tool 16 are aligned with each other.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigt, wo erkennbar ist, dass über der Abdeckhaube 4 eine Überhaube 17 angeordnet ist. In diesem Fall ist das Aufnahmeteil 13 (einstückig oder bestehend aus Befestigungsteil 14 und Gewindebuchse 15) so gestaltet, dass es sowohl das Rutenende 10 aufnehmen kann als auch die Überhaube 17 an der Abdeckhaube 14 festlegt. In diesem Fall kann das Aufnahmeteil 13 entweder so gestaltet sein, dass es eine Durchführung für das Werkzeug 16 aufweist oder diese Durchführung entfällt, wenn z.B., wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, das Befestigungselement 3 nicht von außerhalb der Dachantenne 1, sondern von unterhalb betätigt werden kann. Obwohl die Befestigung der Überhaube 17 an der Abdeckhaube alleine nur mit dem Aufnahmeteil 13 erfolgen kann, ist es zweckmäßig, weitere Festlegungen vorzusehen. Hierzu ist bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 vorgesehen, dass die Überhaube (17) Rastmittel zu der Festlegung an der Abdeckhaube 4 aufweist. Diese Rastmittel, dargestellt in Figur 4, sind als eine Nase 18 an der Überhaube 17 ausgebildet, die in eine Ausnehmung in der Abdeckhaube 4, insbesondere eine Ausnehmung in einem Vorsprung 19 der Abdeckhaube 4, eingreift. Dadurch lässt sich eine besonders einfache Montage der Überhaube 17 an der Abdeckhaube 14 ermöglichen, wie im Folgenden beschrieben wird.A further embodiment of the invention is shown in Figures 3 and 4, where it can be seen that on the cover 4, a bonnet 17 is arranged. In this case, the receiving part 13 (one piece or consisting of fastening part 14 and threaded bushing 15) is designed so that it can accommodate both the rod end 10 and the overcap 17 defines on the cover 14. In this case, the receiving part 13 can either be designed so that it has a passage for the tool 16 or this implementation is omitted if, for example, as shown in Figure 3, the fastener 3 is not actuated from outside the roof antenna 1, but from below can. Although the attachment of the hood 17 on the cover alone can be done only with the receiving part 13, it is expedient to provide further definitions. For this purpose, it is provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 that the covering hood (17) has latching means for attachment to the covering hood 4. These locking means, shown in Figure 4, are formed as a nose 18 on the hood 17, which engages in a recess in the cover 4, in particular a recess in a projection 19 of the cover 4. This allows a particularly simple installation of the hood 17 on the cover 14 allow, as will be described below.

Nachdem die Dachantenne 1 mit ihren Elementen einschließlich der Abdeckhaube 14 auf dem Fahrzeugdach 2 montiert und mittels des Befestigungselementes 3 festgelegt worden ist, wird die Überhaube 17 mit ihrer Nase 18 in die Ausnehmung des Vorsprunges 19 eingesetzt, und derart gekippt, dass die Überhaube 17 mit ihrer unteren umlaufenden Kante vollflächig entweder auch auf dem Fahrzeugdach 2 oder auf der Dichtung 7 aufliegt. Danach kann das ein- oder mehrstückige Aufnahmeteil 13 eingesetzt werden, insbesondere verschraubt werden, so dass die Überhaube 17 dauerhaft, aber lösbar, an der Abdeckhaube 4 festgelegt ist. Je nach Ausgestaltung kann auch daran gedacht werden, das Aufnahmeteil 13 sowohl mit der Abdeckhaube 4 als auch der Überhaube 17 unlösbar zu verbinden, beispielsweise durch eine Verklebung. Außerdem kann daran gedacht werden, das Aufnahmeteil 13, wie es in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt ist, bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figuren 3 und 4 einzusetzen, so dass es dann eine doppelte Funktion übernimmt, nämlich einmal die Festlegung der Überhaube 17 an der Abdeckhaube 4 und gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit bietet, durch seine Durchführung das Werkzeug 16 zur Betätigung des Befestigungselementes 3 einzuführen und wieder herauszunehmen.After the roof antenna 1 has been mounted with its elements including the cover 14 on the vehicle roof 2 and fixed by means of the fastener 3, the hood 17 is inserted with its nose 18 in the recess of the projection 19, and tilted such that the hood 17 with their lower peripheral edge over the entire surface either on the vehicle roof 2 or on the seal 7 rests. Thereafter, the one-piece or multi-piece receiving part 13 are used, in particular screwed, so that the bonnet 17th permanently, but detachably, is fixed to the cover 4. Depending on the configuration can also be thought of the receiving part 13 with the cover 4 as well as the hood 17 undetachably to connect, for example by a bond. In addition, it can be thought to use the receiving part 13, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the embodiment according to Figures 3 and 4, so that it then takes on a dual function, namely once the determination of the hood 17 on the cover 4 and at the same time offers the possibility to introduce by its implementation, the tool 16 for actuating the fastener 3 and remove again.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführung des Aufnahmeteils 13 ist darin zu sehen, dass das Befestigungsteil 14 aus Kunststoff besteht (insbesondere aus dem gleichen Material wie die Abdeckhaube 4 und/oder die Überhaube 17) und die dort einzusetzende Gewindebuchse 15 aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material besteht. Das Befestigungsteil 14 aus Kunststoff hat den Vorteil, dass es gerade dann, wenn Abdeckhaube 4 und/oder Überhaube 17 aus Kunststoff bestehen und in einem Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden, eine besonders gute und dauerhafte Verbindung, insbesondere mit der Abdeckhaube 4, eingeht, wenn es in die Form für die Abdeckhaube 4 eingesetzt und mit Kunststoff umspritzt wird. Die Gewindebuchse 15 aus Metall hat den Vorteil, dass hierüber die von dem Antennenstrahler in der Antennenrute 5 empfangenen oder gesendeten hochfrequenten Signale übertragen werden können, indem die Gewindebuchse 15 mit entsprechenden Übertragungsmedien z.B. Kabel oder direkt auf einer Leiterplatte) verbunden ist. Weiterhin sei angemerkt, dass auch das Rutenende 10 als eine Gewindebuchse ausgebildet sein kann, während die Gewindebuchse 15 nicht als solche, sondern als vorstehender Gewindezapfen ausgebildet ist.A particularly preferred embodiment of the receiving part 13 is to be seen in that the fastening part 14 consists of plastic (in particular of the same material as the cover 4 and / or the hood 17) and the threaded bush 15 to be used there consists of an electrically conductive material. The fastening part 14 made of plastic has the advantage that it just when cover 4 and / or hood 17 are made of plastic and are manufactured in an injection molding process, a particularly good and durable connection, in particular with the cover 4, received, if it is in the mold is used for the cover 4 and molded with plastic. The threaded bushing 15 made of metal has the advantage that over this the high-frequency signals received or transmitted by the antenna radiator in the antenna rod 5 can be transmitted by connecting the threaded bushing 15 with corresponding transmission media, e.g. Cable or directly on a printed circuit board) is connected. It should also be noted that the rod end 10 may be formed as a threaded bush, while the threaded bushing 15 is not formed as such, but as a projecting threaded pin.

Zusammenfassend bietet die Erfindung also zwei Lösungen der gestellten Aufgabe, wobei jede Lösung für sich einsetzbar ist, aber auch beide Lösungen zusammen eingesetzt werden können, wie es im folgenden noch einmal dargestellt ist.In summary, the invention thus provides two solutions to the problem, wherein each solution can be used alone, but also both solutions can be used together, as shown again below.

1. Zugang zu einem im Innenraum der Antenne liegeden Befestigungselement:1. Access to a lying in the interior of the antenna fastener:

Die Dachantenne ist mit einem im Innenraum liegenden Befestigungselement versehen, vorzugsweise eine Schraube, die direkt im Fahrzeugdach verschraubt wird, wobei das Fahrzeugdach im Verschraubungsbereich ggf. durch Tiefziehen entsprechend geformt sein kann und die Schraube beim Verschrauben das Gewinde selbst in das Blech schneidet. Alternativ kann die Befestigung dachseitig auch durch eine unter dem Fahrzeugdach befindliche Klemmplatte oder z.B. durch eine im Fahrzeugdach befestigte Einclips- oder Nietmutter realisiert sein. Die Gewindebuchse mit Gewindesackloch für die Antennenrute in der Abdeckhaube ist als demontierbares Teil ausgeführt. Hierzu hat sie vorteilhafterweise ein Außengewinde, das mit einem Innengewinde in der Abdeckhaube zusammenwirkt sowie z.B. an ihrem Außenbund einen Schlitz für den Angriff eines Schraubendrehers. Das Innengewinde in der Abdeckhaube kann in der einfachsten Ausführung direkt im Kunststoff realisiert sein oder in einer hochwertigeren Ausführung (wie oben dargestellt) durch ein zusätzliche Teil z.B. aus Metall, das das Innengewinde enthält und das als Einlegeteil formschlüssig in die KunststoffAbdeckhaube mit eingespritzt wird. Zwischen dem demontierbaren Gewindeteil und der Abdeckhaube bzw. dem evtl. vorhandenen Einlegeteil der Abdeckhaube befindet sich ein Dichtungselement, das im montierten Zustand des Gewindeteils in der Abdeckhaube diese gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit und/oder Schmutz abdichtet. Dargestellt ist ein separater O-Ring, es kann aber z.B. auch eine an das Gehäuse angespritzte Dichtlippe sein oder eine Dichtkante an der Innenseite des Bundes des Gewindeteils. Wird das Gewindeteil aus der Abdeckhaube demontiert, so ist der Zugang zum Befestigungselement in der Dachantenne frei für den Zugang des Werkzeugs, so dass durch ihn hindurch die Dachantenne auf der Karosserie befestigt oder auch wieder gelöst werden kann. Nach erfolgter Befestigung der Dachantenne auf der Karosserie wird die Gewindebuchse von außen in die Öffnung der Abdeckhaube eingeschraubt, wodurch die Abdeckhaube dicht verschlossen wird und die Kontaktierung zur Kontaktfeder auf der Leiterplatte hergestellt wird (Feder nicht dargestellt). Damit das Werkzeug im Inneren der Dachantenne nicht die Elektronikbauteile beschädigen kann, ist im Inneren der Abdeckhaube eine Wandung, ein Kanal oder ähnliches vorgesehen, der die Elektronik vor Berührung oder Beschädigung durch das Werkzeug abschirmt. Gleichzeitig wird das Werkzeug beim Einführen von diesem Element in Richtung zum Befestigungselement hin geführt, was die Montage einfacher gestaltet. Die Antennenrute kann anschließend wie üblich in das montierte Gewindeteil eingeschraubt werden, wobei das Gewindeteil komplett verdeckt und dadurch nicht nur optisch unsichtbar von außen ist, sondern auch vor Spritzwasser und Verschmutzung geschützt wird. Das Anzugs- bzw. Losdrehmoment des Gewindeteils in der Abdeckhaube wird so gewählt, dass beim Losdrehen der Antennnenrute das Gewindeteil sicher fest in der Abdeckhaube bleibt, d.h. das Anzugs- und Losdrehmoment des Gewindeteils wird wesentlich höher gewählt als das der Antennnenrute. Dies ist einfach zu bewerkstelligen, da die Antennnenrute ohnehin nur mit geringem Moment von Hand angezogen wird. Falls die Achsrichtungen des Befestigungselements und des demontierbaren Gewindeteils nicht etwa parallel zueinander verlaufen (wie in obiger Skizze dargestellt), sondern zueinander in der vertikalen Fahrtrichtungsebene mehr oder weniger geneigt sind, kann der Einsatz von Spezialwerkzeugen erforderlich sein. Bei geringen Neigungswinkeln kann z.B. in Verbindung mit einer Zylinderschraube mit Innensechskant ein Sechskant-Schraubendreher mit Kugelkopf verwendet werden, bei größeren Winkeln können Gelenkwerkzeuge verwendet werden. Der Einsatz von Spezialwerkzeug hat den Vorteil, dass das unbefugte Demontieren der Dachantenne dadurch erschwert wird.The roof antenna is provided with a fastener located in the interior, preferably a screw which is bolted directly in the vehicle roof, the vehicle roof may be formed in the bolted area if necessary by deep drawing and the screw when screwing the thread itself cuts into the sheet. Alternatively, the fastening on the roof side can also be realized by a clamping plate located under the vehicle roof or, for example, by a clip-in or rivet nut fastened in the vehicle roof. The threaded bush with threaded blind hole for the antenna rod in the cover is designed as a removable part. For this purpose, it advantageously has an external thread, which cooperates with an internal thread in the cover and, for example, at its outer collar a slot for the attack of a screwdriver. The internal thread in the cover can be realized in the simplest version directly in plastic or in a higher quality version (as shown above) by an additional part, for example made of metal, which contains the internal thread and is positively injected as an insert in the KunststoffAbdeckhaube. There is a sealing element between the removable threaded part and the cover or the possibly existing insert of the cover, which seals in the assembled state of the threaded part in the cover this against the ingress of moisture and / or dirt. Shown is a separate O-ring, but it may for example be a molded onto the housing sealing lip or a sealing edge on the inside of the collar of the threaded part. If the threaded portion is removed from the cover, the access to the fastener in the roof antenna is free for the access of the tool, so that through him the roof antenna can be attached to the body or even released again. After attachment of the roof antenna on the body, the threaded bush is screwed from the outside into the opening of the cover, whereby the cover is sealed and the contact is made to the contact spring on the circuit board (spring not shown). So that the tool inside the roof antenna can not damage the electronic components, a wall, a channel or the like is provided inside the cover, which shields the electronics from being touched or damaged by the tool. At the same time the tool is guided during insertion of this element in the direction of the fastener, which makes the assembly easier. The Antenna rod can then be screwed as usual in the mounted threaded part, the threaded part completely covered and thus not only visually invisible from the outside, but is also protected from splash water and pollution. The tightening or loosening torque of the threaded part in the cover is chosen so that when loosening the antenna rod, the threaded portion remains securely in the cover, ie the tightening and loosening torque of the threaded portion is chosen to be much higher than that of the antenna rod. This is easy to do, since the antenna rod is tightened anyway with little time by hand. If the axial directions of the fastener and the removable threaded part are not approximately parallel to each other (as shown in the above sketch), but more or less inclined to each other in the vertical direction of travel plane, the use of special tools may be required. At low angles of inclination, for example, a hexagon screwdriver with ball head can be used in conjunction with a hexagon socket head cap screw, while jointing tools can be used for larger angles. The use of special tools has the advantage that the unauthorized dismantling of the roof antenna is made more difficult.

2. Befestigung einer Design-Überhaube auf der Dachantenne:2. Fastening a design hood on the roof antenna:

Die demontierbare Gewindebuchse kann dazu verwendet werden, bei Bedarf eine (Design-) Überhaube, die optisch vorteilhaft z.B. in Wagenfarbe lackiert, eingefärbt, marmoriert oder strukturiert sein kann, auf der Dachantenne zu fixieren. Dazu ist an der Überhaube ein passender Bereich angeformt, der nach dem Aufsetzen der Überhaube auf der Dachantenne beim Einschrauben des Gewindeteils zwischen dessen Bund und einer Anlagefläche an der Abdeckhaube bzw. deren Einlegeteil eingespannt wird. Die Abdichtung erfolgt hier vorteilhaft in der beschriebenen Weise zwischen dem Gewindeteil und der Überhaube. Die Überhaube und/oder die Abdeckhaube können Bereiche aufweisen, die punktuell oder flächig am jeweils anderen Teil zur Anlage kommen und so die korrekte Lage der Überhaube auf der Abdeckhaube sicherstellen. Die Überhaube kann ein Dichtungselement in Form einer umlaufenden Dichtlippe aufweisen, die im auf der Abdeckhaube montierten Zustand die Überhaube zum Fahrzeugdach hin abdichtet und/oder einen optisch ansprechenden Übergang bildet. Das Dichtungselement kann als separates Teil ausgeführt oder an der Überhaube angeformt sein. Das Dichtungselement an der Überhaube kann auch mit der Abdeckhaube eine Anlagefläche aufweisen und so den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Hauben abdichten. Im einfachsten Fall wird auf die zusätzliche Dichtung der Überhaube verzichtet, wobei vorteilhafterweise die Überhaube mit ihrem inneren unteren Rand sich im montierten Zustand an die ohnehin vorhandene umlaufende Dichtung der Dachantenne anlegt und der Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Hauben so abgedichtet wird. Die Überhaube kann zusätzlich zur Verschraubung mit dem Gewindeteil einen oder mehrere Bereiche haben, die an der Abdeckhaube oder der Bodenplatte der Dachantenne formschlüssig in Eingriff gebracht werden können und damit die Stabilität der Befestigung von der Überhaube auf der Dachantenne erhöhen. Die eine Nase vorne/innen an der Überhaube ermöglicht es, dass sie bei der Montage der Überhaube zuerst durch eine Aussparung der umlaufenden Dichtlippe hindurch unter einen Vorsprung der Abdeckhaube formschlüssig eingerastet wird, bevor die Verschraubung im hinteren Bereich der Dachantenne in der beschriebenen Art mittels der demontierbaren Gewindebuchse erfolgt, womit die vordere Verrastung dann ebenfalls fixiert ist. Die demontierbare Gewindebuchse und ihr Sitz in der Abdeckhaube können vorteilhaft so gestaltet werden, dass dieselbe Buchse sowohl mit als auch ohne Überhaube passt und auch die Abdichtung sowie die Verbindung zur Kontaktfeder für beide Fälle ordentlich funktionieren. Es ist insbesondere auch möglich und vorteilhaft, die Konstruktion so zu gestalten, dass sowohl der beschriebene Werkzeugzugang als auch die Möglichkeit zur Befestigung der Überhaube an der Dachantenne mit ein und derselben Ausführung realisiert sind. Wird nur die Befestigung der Überhaube auf der Dachantenne realisiert und ein zusätzliches Einlegeteil in der Abdeckhaube vorzugsweise aus metallischem Werkstoff verwendet, so kann dieses so gestaltet werden, dass es nach unten hin den elektrischen Kontakt zur Feder auf der Leiterplatte ermöglicht und der Sitz für das demontierbare Gewindeteil als Gewindesackloch ausgeführt wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass auch bei demontiertem Gewindeteil die Dachantenne keine Öffnung aufweist und somit wasser- und schmutzdicht bleibt.The removable threaded bushing can be used to fix on the roof antenna if necessary, a (design) hood, which can be visually advantageous, for example, painted in body color, colored, marbled or structured. For this purpose, a matching area is formed on the hood, which is clamped after placing the hood on the roof antenna when screwing the threaded part between the collar and a contact surface on the cover or its insert. The seal is advantageously carried out in the manner described between the threaded part and the bonnet. The hood and / or the cover may have areas that come at points or surfaces on the other part to the plant and so ensure the correct position of the hood on the cover. The overcap can have a sealing element in the form of a circumferential sealing lip, which seals the over hood to the vehicle roof in the state mounted on the covering hood and / or forms a visually appealing transition. The sealing element can as a separate part executed or molded on the hood. The sealing element on the hood can also have a contact surface with the cover and thus seal the gap between the two hoods. In the simplest case, the additional seal of the bonnet is omitted, advantageously the bonnet with its inner lower edge in the assembled state to the already existing circumferential seal of the roof antenna applies and the space between the two hoods is sealed. The hood may, in addition to the screw with the threaded portion have one or more areas that can be positively engaged on the cover or the bottom plate of the roof antenna and thus increase the stability of the attachment of the hood on the roof antenna. The one nose front / inside of the hood allows it to be positively locked in the assembly of the hood first by a recess of the circumferential sealing lip under a projection of the cover before the screw in the rear of the roof antenna in the manner described by means of demountable threaded bush takes place, whereby the front latching is then also fixed. The removable threaded bush and its seat in the cover can be advantageously designed so that the same socket fits both with and without bonnet and also the seal and the connection to the contact spring for both cases work properly. In particular, it is also possible and advantageous to design the construction in such a way that both the tool access described and the possibility of fastening the overcap to the roof antenna are realized with one and the same design. If only the attachment of the hood on the roof antenna realized and an additional insert in the cover preferably made of metallic material, so this can be designed so that it allows downwards the electrical contact to the spring on the circuit board and the seat for the disassembled Threaded part is designed as a threaded blind hole. This has the advantage that even with disassembled threaded part, the roof antenna has no opening and thus remains waterproof and dirt-tight.
