Beiblatt:Supplement:

Aus der DE 10 2008 002 132 A1 ist eine Halterung für ein Kraftfahrzeug-Anbauteil zur Montage an einem mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung versehenen Karosserieteil des Kraftfahrzeugs bekannt, wobei vorgesehen ist, dass eines der Abstützelemente ein erstes Abstützelement bildet, das starr ausgebildet ist, um eine Verdrehachse verdrehbar gelagert und über seinen um die Verdrehachse verlaufenden Umfang herum mehrere zueinander separierte Abstützflächen aufweist, wobei die Außenkontur des ersten Abstützelementes (4) zwischen den Abstützflächen in Richtung auf die Verdrehachse zurücktritt.From the DE 10 2008 002 132 A1 is a holder for a motor vehicle attachment for mounting on a receiving opening provided with a body part of the motor vehicle is known, wherein it is provided that one of the support elements forms a first support member which is rigidly mounted to a rotational axis and rotatable about its about the axis of rotation extending circumferentially around a plurality of mutually separated support surfaces, wherein the outer contour of the first support element (4) recedes between the support surfaces in the direction of the axis of rotation.

Die DE 10 2008 041 125 A1 offenbart eine Halterung für ein Kraftfahrzeug-Anbauteil zur Montage an einem mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung versehenen Karosserieteil eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit zwei entgegengesetzten Seiten des Karosserieteils zuordenbaren Abstützelementen, die mittels einer Spanneinrichtung aufeinander zuspannbar sind, wobei eines der Abstützelement mehrere Abstützarme aufweist und die Abstützarme in Bezug auf eine Verdrehachse zueinander verdrehbar gelagert sind.The DE 10 2008 041 125 A1 discloses a bracket for a motor vehicle attachment for mounting on a provided with a receiving opening body part of a motor vehicle with two opposite sides of the body part assignable supporting elements, which are zuspannbar by means of a clamping device, wherein one of the support element has a plurality of support arms and the support arms with respect to a Verdrehachse are rotatably mounted to each other.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese gattungsbildende Dachantenne hinsichtlich ihres Montageverfahrens und hinsichtlich ihrer Ausgestaltung insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine noch weiter vereinfachte Montage zu verbessern.The present invention is based on the object to improve this generic roof antenna with respect to their assembly process and in terms of their design, in particular with regard to a further simplified assembly.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Befestigungsmittel als ein zentraler Dom mit Schraubgewinde, der nach seiner Montage der Dachantenne in ihrer Vormontageposition in den Innenraum des Fahrzeuges hineinragt, und ein mit dem Dom zusammenwirkendes Drehkreuz ausgebildet ist. Dieses Drehkreuz, welches in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung genau vier in einem rechten Winkel zueinander angeordnete Arme aufweist, befindet sich zunächst in einer Vormontageposition. Dies bedeutet, dass das Drehkreuz derart in einer Lage in Bezug auf die Dachantenne als auch in Bezug auf die Dachöffnung angeordnet ist, in der es ermöglicht wird, die Dachantenne vertikal von oben in Richtung des Innenraumes mit seinen Befestigungsmitteln durchzuführen. Das bedeutet, dass die Dachantenne, genauer deren Bodenplatte bzw. eine an der Bodenplatte angeordnete Dichtung oder andere Elemente, auf der Oberseite des Daches zur Anlage kommen und es danach möglich wird, das Drehkreuz dahingehend zu betätigen, dass es von seiner Vormontageposition (Vorfixierung) in seine Endmontageposition gebracht werden kann, nachdem mittels der Rasthaken, die ebenfalls von der Bodenplatte vertikal nach unten durch die Dachöffnung hineinragen, vorfixiert worden ist. Das heißt, dass die Dachantenne von oben auf das Dach aufgesetzt und mit seinen Rastmitteln und Befestigungsmitteln durch die Dachöffnung geführt wird. Nachdem die Dachantenne auf der Oberseite des Daches zur Anlage gekommen ist, wobei mittels der Rastmittel eine Vorfixierung stattfand, können die Befestigungsmittel, das heißt das Drehkreuz, betätigt werden, um damit die Dachantenne in ihrer Endmontageposition dauerhaft, lagerichtig und unverrückbar auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges festlegen zu können. Die Drehbewegung des Drehkreuzes auf dem mit dem Schraubgewinde versehenen zentralen Dom hat den Vorteil, dass eine schnelle, ggf. werkzeuglose Montage erfolgen kann. Außerdem kann die Kraft, mit der die Bodenplatte der Dachantenne auf dem Fahrzeugdach zur Anlage kommt, durch die Drehbewegung des Drehkreuzes sehr genau eingestellt werden. Dies hat insbesondere dann den Vorteil, wenn zwischen der Unterseite der Bodenplatte und der Oberfläche des Daches eine Dichtung angeordnet ist. Damit wird bewirkt, dass die Dichtung optimal ihre Dichtungswirkung ausüben kann, um zu vermeiden, dass die Dichtwirkung bei nicht ausreichender Quetschung der Dichtung nicht ausreichend ist oder bei zu großer Quetschung ebenfalls nicht optimal ist. Außerdem ist der Vorteil gegeben, dass Toleranzen, insbesondere unterschiedliche Dicken des Daches, ausgeglichen werden können. Damit kann die erfindungsgemäße Dachantenne auch sehr flexibel bei unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen, die unterschiedliche Dachstärken aufweisen, montiert werden.According to the invention it is provided that the fastening means is designed as a central dome with screw thread, which protrudes into its mounting position of the roof antenna in its preassembly in the interior of the vehicle, and cooperating with the dome turnstile. This turnstile, which in a particularly advantageous embodiment has exactly four arms arranged at a right angle to one another, is initially located in a pre-assembly position. This means that the turnstile is arranged in a position with respect to the roof antenna as well as with respect to the roof opening, in which it is possible to perform the roof antenna vertically from above towards the interior with its fastening means. This means that the roof antenna, more precisely its base plate or a seal arranged on the bottom plate or other elements, come to rest on the top of the roof and it is then possible to operate the turnstile that it from its pre-mounting position (prefixing) can be brought into its final assembly position after having been pre-fixed by means of the latching hooks, which also extend from the bottom plate vertically down through the roof opening. This means that the roof antenna is placed on top of the roof from above and guided with its locking means and fasteners through the roof opening. After the roof antenna on the top of the roof has come to rest, taking By means of the locking means a prefixing took place, the fastening means, that is, the turnstile can be actuated in order to fix the roof antenna in its final assembly position permanently, correctly positioned and immovable on the roof of the vehicle can. The rotational movement of the turnstile on the provided with the screw central dome has the advantage that a fast, possibly tool-free installation can be done. In addition, the force with which the bottom plate of the roof antenna on the vehicle roof comes to rest, be set very precisely by the rotation of the turnstile. This has the advantage, in particular, if a seal is arranged between the underside of the base plate and the surface of the roof. This ensures that the seal can optimally exert its sealing effect in order to avoid that the sealing effect is insufficient in case of insufficient squeezing of the seal or also not optimal in case of excessive squeezing. In addition, there is the advantage that tolerances, in particular different thicknesses of the roof, can be compensated. Thus, the roof antenna according to the invention can also be very flexible in different vehicles, which have different roof thicknesses mounted.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Drehkreuz derart ausgebildet, dass es mit seinen Enden der Arme in einer Vormontageposition durch eine Dachöffnung des Daches vertikal hindurchgeführt werden kann und in seiner Endmontageposition mit seinen Enden die Unterseite des Daches hintergreift. Durch die Festlegung der Dachantenne auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges mittels der Enden des Drehkreuzes kann eine sehr gute Hebelwirkung erzielt werden, woraus eine hohe Kraft resultiert, mittels der die Dachantenne auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges festgelegt wird. Zur Montagevereinfachung können diese Enden an ihrer Seiten- und/oder Oberfläche, die in Richtung der Unterseite des Daches weist, abgeschrägt sein. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass die in Richtung der Unterseite des Daches weisende Oberfläche des Drehkreuzes in seiner Endmontageposition Dorne, Stege oder dergleichen aufweist. Diese Mittel können dann, wenn auch das Drehkreuz und der zentrale Dom aus einem elektrisch leitfähigem Werkstoff bestehen, für die Masseanbindung der Dachantenne dienen, wenn auch das Fahrzeugdach aus einem metallischen Werkstoff besteht. Bestehen die genannten Elemente nicht aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, kann daran gedacht werden, die Masseanbindung über andere Elemente, zum Beispiel Steckverbinder, zu realisieren.In development of the invention, the turnstile is designed such that it can be passed vertically with its ends of the arms in a pre-assembly through a roof opening of the roof and engages behind in its final assembly position with its ends the underside of the roof. By fixing the roof antenna on the roof of the vehicle by means of the ends of the turnstile, a very good leverage can be achieved, resulting in a high force results, by means of which the roof antenna is fixed on the roof of the vehicle. To simplify assembly, these ends on their side and / or surface, which points towards the bottom of the roof, beveled. Furthermore, it is possible that the pointing in the direction of the underside of the roof surface of the turnstile in its final assembly position spikes, webs or the like. These means can, if the turnstile and the central dome consist of an electrically conductive material, serve for the ground connection of the roof antenna, even if the vehicle roof consists of a metallic material. If the elements mentioned do not consist of a metallic material, it can be considered to realize the ground connection via other elements, for example plug connectors.

In der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass an der Bodenplatte zumindest ein Anschlag zur Begrenzung des Drehwinkels des Drehkreuzes angeordnet ist. Dieser zumindest eine Anschlag, vorzugsweise ein Endanschlag für die Vormontageposition und ein Endanschlag für die Endmontageposition, hat den Vorteil, dass zwecks Montage der Dachantenne ein Bewegungsbereich des Drehkreuzes vorgegeben ist. So wird in besonders vorteilhafter Weise das Drehkreuz nur zwischen diesen beiden Anschlägen, die jeweils eine Ausgangsposition und eine Endposition definieren, bewegt. Dadurch kann auch gleichzeitig das Anlagemoment der Dachantenne auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges mit seinem vorgebbaren Wert eingestellt werden.In the invention it is provided that at least one stop for limiting the angle of rotation of the turnstile is arranged on the bottom plate. This at least one stop, preferably an end stop for the pre-assembly position and an end stop for the final assembly position, has the advantage that a range of movement of the turnstile is predetermined for the purpose of mounting the roof antenna. Thus, in a particularly advantageous manner, the turnstile only moves between these two stops, each defining an initial position and an end position. As a result, at the same time the contact torque of the roof antenna on the roof of the vehicle can be set with its predetermined value.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist an der Bodenplatte zumindest eine Führungsrippe, vorzugsweise zwei gegenüberliegende Führungsrippen oder zwei in einem rechten Winkel zueinander ausgerichtete Führungsrippen, angeordnet. Diese von der Bodenplatte vertikal nach unten, das heißt in Richtung der Dachöffnung des Fahrzeuges weisende Führungsrippen haben den Vorteil, dass sie der Kontur der Dachöffnung entsprechen und eine Führung und Ausrichtung der Dachantenne sowohl bei der Vormontage als auch bei der Endmontage bewirken. Diese zumindest eine Führungsrippe ist in vorteilhafter Weise einstückig mit der Bodenplatte ausgeführt (zum Beispiel bestehen Führungsrippe und Bodenplatte aus einem Kunststoffspritzguss) oder werden zusätzlich an der Bodenplatte lösbar oder unlösbar angefügt.In a further development of the invention, at least one guide rib, preferably two opposite guide ribs or two guide ribs oriented at a right angle to each other, is arranged on the bottom plate. These from the bottom plate vertically downwards, that is in the direction of the roof opening of the vehicle facing guide ribs have the advantage that they are the contour of the Roof opening correspond and cause a guide and orientation of the roof antenna both during pre-assembly and during final assembly. This at least one guide rib is advantageously made in one piece with the bottom plate (for example, guide rib and bottom plate made of a plastic injection molding) or are additionally added to the bottom plate detachable or non-detachable.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung überdeckt das Drehkreuz in seiner Vormontageposition die zumindest eine Steckverbindung und gibt sie in der Endmontageposition wieder frei. Hier ist von entscheidendem Vorteil, dass das Drehkreuz derart in eine Vormontageposition gebracht wird, dass es vorzugsweise mit jeweils einem Arm jeweils einen Steckverbinder überdeckt. In diesem Auslieferungszustand der Dachantenne sind die Steckverbinder, die meistens als Buchse ausgebildet sind, vor Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen geschützt. Erst wenn die Dachantenne vorfixiert auf dem Dach festgelegt wurde und zwecks Endmontage das Drehkreuz von seiner Vormontageposition in seine Endmontageposition gebracht worden ist, gibt dieses den zumindest einen Steckverbinder frei, so dass es erst möglich wird, den Steckverbinder der Dachantenne mit dem Gegensteckverbinder zum Beispiel am Ende eines Kabels zusammenzustecken, wenn die Dachantenne in ihrer Sollposition endgültig auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges festgelegt worden ist.In a further development of the invention, the turnstile covers in its pre-assembly the at least one connector and releases it in the final assembly position again. Here it is of decisive advantage that the turnstile is brought into a preassembly position such that it preferably covers one connector each with one arm. In this state of delivery of the roof antenna, the connectors, which are usually designed as a socket, are protected from damage or dirt. Only when the roof antenna was fixed on the roof prefixed and the turnstile has been brought from its pre-assembly in its final assembly position for the purpose of final assembly, this releases the at least one connector so that it is only possible, the connector of the roof antenna with the mating connector, for example on Assemble the end of a cable when the roof antenna has been finally set in its nominal position on the roof of the vehicle.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben, aus denen sich die entsprechenden Vorteile ergeben.

In addition, these embodiments are explained below in connection with the description of the figures.

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen, soweit im Einzelnen dargestellt, unterschiedliche Ansichten einer Dachantenne 1 zur Montage auf einem Dach 2 eines Fahrzeuges. In Figur 1, linke obere Darstellung, ist die Dachantenne 1 erkennbar, die endgültig auf dem Dach 2 montiert worden ist. Prinzipiell umfasst diese Dachantenne 1 eine Antennenhaube 3, wobei unter der Antennenhaube 3 beispielsweise eine Leiterplatte 4 mit nicht dargestellten Antennenelementen (zum Beispiel für Telefon, GPS, TV und dergleichen) untergebracht ist. Die Leiterplatte 4 kann vertikal nach unten weisende Steckverbindungen 5 (oder auch nur eine Steckverbindung) aufweisen, wobei sie jedoch nicht zwangsweise die zumindest eine Steckverbindung aufweisen muss. Die Kontaktierung der unter der Antennenhaube 3 angeordneten Antennenelemente kann auch über andere Möglichkeiten, wie zum Beispiel Kabel, mit nachgeschalteten elektronischen Geräten verbunden werden. Weiterhin ist in dieser Darstellung ein zentraler Dom 6 erkennbar. In der Figur 1, linke untere Darstellung, ist die Dachantenne 1 von oben, und in der Figur 1, rechte Darstellung, von unten gezeigt, wobei im Folgenden auf die Figuren 2 bis 4 zwecks Erläuterung des Aufbaus der erfindungsgemäßen Dachantenne 1 und ihrer Montage auf dem Dach 2 Bezug genommen wird.The FIGS. 1 to 4 show, as far as shown in detail, different views of a roof antenna 1 for mounting on a roof 2 of a vehicle. In FIG. 1 , top left view, the roof antenna 1 can be seen, which has been finally mounted on the roof 2. In principle, this roof antenna 1 comprises an antenna hood 3, wherein under the antenna hood 3, for example, a printed circuit board 4 with not shown antenna elements (for example for telephone, GPS, TV and the like) is housed. The circuit board 4 may have vertically downwardly facing connectors 5 (or even a connector), but they need not necessarily have the at least one connector. The contacting of the arranged under the antenna cover 3 antenna elements can also be connected via other options, such as cables, with downstream electronic devices. Furthermore, a central dome 6 can be seen in this illustration. In the FIG. 1 , lower left illustration, is the roof antenna 1 from above, and in the FIG. 1 , right-hand illustration, shown from below, with the following on the FIGS. 2 to 4 for the purpose of explanation of the construction of the roof antenna 1 according to the invention and its mounting on the roof 2 reference is made.

In Figur 2 sind zusätzlich zu den schon in Figur 1 gezeigten und beschriebenen Elementen eine Bodenplatte 7 der Dachantenne 1 gezeigt, wobei die Bodenplatte 7 nach unten weisende Gegenlager 8 aufweist. Mit diesem Gegenlager 8 wird bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Distanz zwischen der Unterseite der Bodenplatte und der Oberseite des Daches 2 definiert. Die Gegenlager 8 können beispielsweise radial umlaufend ausgebildet sein und können alternativ weggelassen werden. Weiterhin ist eine Innendichtung 9 vorhanden, die zwischen der Unterseite der Bodenplatte und der Oberseite des Daches 2 angeordnet ist. Auch diese Innendichtung 9 kann radial umlaufend sein, um eine Abdichtung zwischen dem Außenbereich um die Dachantenne 1 herum und dem Innenbereich des Fahrzeuges vorzunehmen. Alternativ oder ergänzend zu der Innendichtung 9 ist eine Außendichtung 10 vorgesehen, wobei die Außendichtung 10 eine Abdichtung zwischen der umlaufenden Unterkante der Antennenhaube 3 und der Oberseite des Daches 2 bewirkt.In FIG. 2 are in addition to those already in FIG. 1 shown and described elements shown a bottom plate 7 of the roof antenna 1, wherein the bottom plate 7 downwardly facing abutment 8 has. With this counter bearing 8, the distance between the bottom of the bottom plate and the top of the roof 2 is defined in this embodiment. The abutment 8 may for example be formed radially encircling and may alternatively be omitted. Furthermore, an inner seal 9 is present, which is arranged between the underside of the bottom plate and the top of the roof 2. These too Inner seal 9 may be radially encircling to make a seal between the outer area around the roof antenna 1 and the interior of the vehicle. Alternatively or in addition to the inner seal 9, an outer seal 10 is provided, wherein the outer seal 10 causes a seal between the peripheral lower edge of the antenna hood 3 and the top of the roof 2.

Zur Vorfixierung der Dachantenne 1 auf dem Dach 2 sind Rasthaken 11 vorhanden. Zur endgültigen Montage der Dachantenne 1 auf dem Dach ist ein Drehkreuz 12 vorgesehen, welches sich auf dem Schraubgewinde des zentralen Domes 6 befindet. In dieser Ausgestaltung in der Figur 2 ist schon gezeigt, dass die Dachantenne 1 in ihrer endgültigen Position auf dem Dach 2 festgelegt worden ist. Dies erfolgte dadurch, dass die Dachantenne 1 von oben durch eine Dachöffnung 13 in dem Dach 2 mit ihrem Befestigungsbereich hindurchgeführt worden ist. Dies bewirkte, dass mittels der Rasthaken 11 eine Vormontageposition eingenommen wurde. Sind die Gegenlager 8 vorhanden, so ist deren axiale Höhe so gewählt, bzw. die Länge der nach unten weisenden Rasthaken ist ebenfalls so gewählt, dass die Rasthaken auf jeden Fall die Unterseite des Daches hintergreifen können, bevor die Unterseite der Gegenlager auf der Oberseite des Daches 2 zur Anlage kommen. Erst nachdem die Dachantenne 1 diese Vormontageposition, in der sie schon weitestgehend unverrückbar auf dem Dach 2 festgelegt wurde, erreicht hat, wird das Drehkreuz 12 betätigt und die Dachantenne 1 in ihrer endgültigen Lage sicher, dauerhaft sowie unverrückbar, ggf. jedoch wieder lösbar, auf dem Dach 2 des Fahrzeuges festgelegt. Weiterhin sind in Figur 2 schon zumindest ein Anschlag 14, vorzugsweise mehrere Anschläge, erkennbar, auf die im Weiteren noch eingegangen wird.For pre-fixing the roof antenna 1 on the roof 2 locking hooks 11 are present. For final installation of the roof antenna 1 on the roof, a turnstile 12 is provided, which is located on the screw thread of the central dome 6. In this embodiment in the FIG. 2 It has already been shown that the roof antenna 1 has been fixed in its final position on the roof 2. This was done by the roof antenna 1 has been passed from above through a roof opening 13 in the roof 2 with its mounting area. This caused that by means of the locking hooks 11, a pre-assembly position was taken. Are the abutment 8 present, so the axial height is chosen, or the length of the downwardly facing latching hook is also chosen so that the locking hooks can engage behind the bottom of the roof in any case, before the bottom of the abutment on top of the Roof 2 come to the plant. Only after the roof antenna 1 has reached this pre-assembly position in which it has already largely immovable on the roof 2, the turnstile 12 is actuated and the roof antenna 1 in its final position safely, permanently and immovably, but possibly again releasably on set the roof 2 of the vehicle. Furthermore, in FIG. 2 already at least one stop 14, preferably a plurality of stops, recognizable, which will be discussed further below.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen einmal in zweidimensionaler Darstellung (Figur 3) und einmal in dreidimensionaler Darstellung (Figur 4) die Dachantenne 1 mit ihrem Befestigungsbereich von unten, das heißt aus Sicht des Innenraumes des Fahrzeuges mit Blickrichtung auf die Unterseite des Daches 2. In diesen Darstellungen ist links die Vormontageposition (bzw. eine sogenannte Anlieferungsposition, in der die Dachantenne von einem Zulieferer an den Automobilhersteller geliefert wird) und rechts die Endmontageposition dargestellt. In den Ansichten von unten sind sehr gut die Anschläge 14 erkennbar, mit der die Begrenzung des Drehwinkels 15 des Drehkreuzes 12 bewirkt wird. Das heißt bei Betrachtung der linken Darstellung in ihrer Anlieferungsposition kann das Drehkreuz 12 nicht gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verdreht werden. Dies ist nur möglich, indem das Drehkreuz 12 um den zentralen Dom herum im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht wird. Diese Drehbewegung kann so lange erfolgen, bis der jeweils eine Arm des Drehkreuzes 12 an seinen gegenüberliegenden Anschlag 14 zur Anlage kommt. Das heißt, dass bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung in besonders vorteilhafter Weise der Drehwinkel 15 des Drehkreuzes 12 bei dessen Bewegung von der Vormontageposition in die Endmontageposition maximal 45 Grad beträgt. Sind die Anschläge 14 nicht vorhanden oder ist zum Beispiel nur ein einziger Anschlag 14 vorhanden, kann der Drehwinkel 15 des Drehkreuzes 12 selbstverständlich größer sein. Er kann auch kleiner als 45 Grad sein und auch mehr als eine Umdrehung betragen. Wird mehr als eine Umdrehung des Drehkreuzes 12 um den zentralen Dom 6 herum bewirkt, können wie vorstehend schon beschrieben größere Toleranzen bzw. unterschiedliche Dachstärken ausgeglichen werden.The Figures 3 and 4 show once in two-dimensional representation ( FIG. 3 ) and once in a three-dimensional representation ( FIG. 4 ), the roof antenna 1 with its mounting area from below, that is from the perspective of the interior of the vehicle with a view of the underside of the roof 2. In these illustrations, the left pre-assembly (or a so-called delivery position in which the roof antenna from a supplier to the Car manufacturer) and the final assembly position is shown on the right. In the views from below, the stops 14 can be seen very well, with the limitation of the angle of rotation 15 of the turnstile 12 is effected. That is, when viewing the left display in its delivery position, the turnstile 12 can not be rotated counterclockwise. This is only possible by turning the turnstile 12 clockwise around the central dome. This rotational movement can take place until the one arm of the turnstile 12 comes to bear against its opposite stop 14. That is, in this embodiment of the invention in a particularly advantageous manner, the angle of rotation 15 of the turnstile 12 during its movement from the pre-assembly into the final assembly position is a maximum of 45 degrees. If the stops 14 are not present or, for example, only a single stop 14 is present, the angle of rotation 15 of the turnstile 12 can of course be greater. It can also be less than 45 degrees and also amount to more than one turn. If more than one revolution of the turnstile 12 is effected around the central dome 6, larger tolerances or different roof thicknesses can be compensated, as already described above.

Weiterhin ist erkennbar, dass die Arme des Drehkreuzes 12 jeweils ein Ende 16 aufweisen, wobei das Drehkreuz 12 mit dem Ende 16 seiner Arme durch die Dachöffnung 13 hindurchgeführt werden kann und die Enden 16 der Arme des Drehkreuzes 12 nach dessen Verdrehung die Unterseite des Daches 2 hintergreifen. Mit der in den rechten Darstellungen der Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Position des Drehkreuzes 12 wird somit die Dachantenne 1 dauerhaft auf dem Dach 2 des Fahrzeuges festgelegt. Außerdem sind in den Figuren 3 und 4 die zumindest eine Führungsrippe, hier zumindest zwei sich gegenüberliegende Führungsrippen 17 gezeigt. Die Lage der Führungsrippen 17 an der Bodenplatte sowie die Länge der Führungsrippen 17 entspricht der Geometrie der Dachöffnung 13, so dass die Dachantenne in ihrer Sollposition ausgerichtet auf dem Dach 2 festgelegt werden kann. Dabei sind die Geometrie (Ausschnitt) der Dachöffnung 13 sowie die Geometrie der Führungsrippen (Anordnung, Länge und dergleichen) so gewählt, dass die Dachantenne 1 nur in einer einzigen Position, das heißt in ihrer Sollposition, durch die Dachöffnung 13 durchgeführt und vorfixiert sowie endfixiert werden kann.Furthermore, it can be seen that the arms of the turnstile 12 each have an end 16, wherein the turnstile 12 with the end 16 of its arms can be passed through the roof opening 13 and the ends 16 of the arms of the turnstile 12 after the rotation of the underside of the roof. 2 engage behind. With the in the right representations of Figures 3 and 4 shown position of the turnstile 12 thus the roof antenna 1 is permanently fixed on the roof 2 of the vehicle. In addition, in the Figures 3 and 4 the at least one guide rib, here at least two opposing guide ribs 17 are shown. The position of the guide ribs 17 on the bottom plate and the length of the guide ribs 17 corresponds to the geometry of the roof opening 13, so that the roof antenna can be set in its desired position aligned on the roof 2. The geometry (detail) of the roof opening 13 and the geometry of the guide ribs (arrangement, length and the like) are chosen so that the roof antenna 1 only in a single position, that is, in its desired position, performed by the roof opening 13 and prefixed and endfixiert can be.

Schließlich kann den Figuren 3 und 4 die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Drehkreuzes 12 dahingehend entnommen werden, dass es in der Vormontageposition (Anlieferungsposition) den zumindest einen Steckverbindung 5 überdeckt (linke Darstellung der Figuren 3 und 4) und die Steckverbindung 5 bzw. die hier genau vier vorhandenen Steckverbinder 5, in der Endmontageposition (Montageposition) freigibt.Finally, the Figures 3 and 4 the advantageous embodiment of the turnstile 12 are taken to the effect that it covers the at least one connector 5 in the pre-assembly (delivery position) (left illustration of Figures 3 and 4 ) and the connector 5 or here exactly four existing connector 5, in the final assembly position (mounting position) releases.

Das Drehkreuz 12 ist entweder derart gestaltet, dass es werkzeuglos von Hand betätigt wird. Um die Montage jedoch weiter zu vereinfachen, kann daran gedacht werden, dass das Drehkreuzmittel, insbesondere einen Sechskantvorsprung 18, zu seiner Betätigung mittels eines Werkzeuges aufweist. Außerdem sind in besonders vorteilhafter Weise Mittel zur Arretierung des Drehkreuzes 12 in der Vormontageposition (Anlieferungsposition) vorhanden. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass die Arme des Drehkreuzes 12 die jeweilige Steckverbindung 5 so lange überdecken, so lange die Dachantenne 1 noch nicht auf dem Dach des Fahrzeuges montiert wurde.The turnstile 12 is either designed so that it is operated by hand without tools. However, in order to further simplify the assembly, it can be thought that the turnstile means, in particular a hexagonal projection 18, too having its operation by means of a tool. In addition, means for locking the turnstile 12 in the pre-assembly (delivery position) are available in a particularly advantageous manner. This ensures that the arms of the turnstile 12 cover the respective connector 5 as long as the roof antenna 1 has not yet been mounted on the roof of the vehicle.
