Abstract

A radio-controlled car aerial is raised automatically by the radio being switched on and lowered automatically on switching off.

Description

RADIO-CONTROLLED CAR AXIAL (Technical Field) This invention relates to acar radio aerial controlled automatically by the radio 'on-off' switch.
(Background) Car aerials are necessary for the operation of car radios. However, a common problem is that such aerials break, in the sense of being snapped off, either accidentally or maliciously.
Hence most such aerials are adjustable so that they can be kept down (i.e. not raised above the level of the car body) and only raised whe required. This involves a number of tiresome problems, including the bother and inconvenience of having to raise and lower the aerial, the problem of wanting to switch on the radio when driving having forgotten to have raised the aerial previously, and the problem of forgetting to later lower the aerial and hence risking malicious or other damage. or these reasons, some cars have aerials which can be raised and lowered automatically by use of a control from within the car, although even with this facility an additional function (of using the control button) is still required, and hence the problem that the driver may forget to lower the aerial and hence risk incurring damage to it is not altogether overcome.
(Essential technical According to the present invention details) such an automatic control mechanism would be fitted to the 'on-off' switch of the car radio itself, such that switching the radio on would automatically trigger the aerial remote control, raising the aerial, and switching the radio off would also automatically trigger the aerial remote control, this time lowering the aerial.
