  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • prefixing the pre-mounting position
  • latching hooks which also extend from the bottom plate vertically down through the roof opening.
  • 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 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.
  • the roof antenna according to the invention can also be very flexible in different vehicles, which have different roof thicknesses mounted.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the turnstile only moves between these two stops, each defining an initial position and an end position.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the turnstile covers in its pre-assembly the at least one connector and releases it in the final assembly position again.
  • the turnstile is brought into a preassembly position such that it preferably covers one connector each with one arm.
  • the connectors which are usually designed as a socket, are protected from damage or dirt.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 1 top left view, the roof antenna 1 can be seen, which has been finally mounted on the roof 2.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the abutment 8 may for example be formed radially encircling and may alternatively be omitted.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a turnstile 12 is provided, which is located on the screw thread of the central dome 6.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 2 already at least one stop 14, preferably a plurality of stops, recognizable, which will be discussed further below.
  • FIG. 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.
  • the left pre-assembly or a so-called delivery position in which the roof antenna from a supplier to the Car manufacturer
  • the final assembly position is shown on the right.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the roof antenna 1 is permanently fixed on the roof 2 of the vehicle.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
