Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the visual field of a rear window by mounting a conductive film antenna to an outer mounted component integrally. CONSTITUTION:Various outer mounted components such as spoiler, sun roof and trunk lid made of a plastic have been employed for recent automobiles for the purpose of light weight and saving of fuel cost accompanied thereby. Then the plastic made outer mount components are formed by using a die having a die face of a prescribed shape. When the outer mount component is mounted to a prescribed position of an automobile, no disturbance is caused onto the visual field alike the mount onto the rear window. Thus, a conductive paint is coated in a prescribed pattern such as a zigzag pattern onto a thermoplastic resin made plastic sheet 11a of a plastic film 11 to form a conductive antenna 11b and the film 11 is fitted to a prescribed position.

(Prior Art) Recently, automobiles are rapidly being equipped with a large number of electrical devices such as car stereos, televisions, and car telephones, and the roles of antennas have also become more diverse.

Car antennas traditionally installed on cars include:
Broadly speaking, they can be divided into a retractable pole antenna 1 as shown in Figure 4, and a rear window antenna 2 as shown in Figure 5.
There is a conductive film antenna 3 disposed on top of the antenna.

Among these car antennas, the conductive film antenna is arranged in the rear window as follows. In other words, conductive paint is applied in a desired pattern to the upper outer surface or upper inner surface of the rear window, or metal powder is hot-stamped in a desired pattern, or thin, for example, aluminum foil is coated with a desired pattern. It can be attached by pasting. In this case, the location where the conductive film antenna is provided generally becomes opaque.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when an opaque conductive film antenna is disposed in the rear window, it is necessary to prevent the passenger's view from being obstructed by it. Therefore, the placement position of the conductive film antenna is limited, and the area of the conductive film antenna cannot be increased very much.

導電膜アンテナは上記したような制限を受けるため、高
感度用のアンテナの機能は不可避的に不足する。
Since conductive film antennas are subject to the above-mentioned limitations, the functions of high-sensitivity antennas are inevitably insufficient.

In addition, considering that car antennas must be able to receive various types of radio waves in response to vehicle warfare equipment, and must also be able to receive radio waves reliably even when driving with frequent changes of direction, this conductive film antenna is highly recommended. It is preferable to attach as many as possible and over a wide area to the vehicle body, but the rear window alone is not sufficient to meet this requirement.
