Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automobile antenna mounting device used for fixing an antenna to a rain gutter (commonly known as a molding) provided on both sides of an automobile roof.

Figure 1 shows a conventional mounting device.
It is fixed to a molding 2 provided on the side.

An L-shaped support piece 4 is connected to the mounting bracket 3 bent into a U-shape, and a set screw 5 is screwed into the mounting bracket 3 so as to advance and retreat in the direction of the support piece 4.

Insert the molding 2 between the support piece 4 and the set screw 5, and press the set screw 5 into contact with the seat 6 so that the receiver inside the molding 2
The molding 2 is held between the support pieces 4 and the supporting pieces 4.

An antenna holder is connected to a base 8 by screws 7 on the top of the mounting bracket 3.

Although this configuration has a simple structure, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be attached if the gap between the moldings 2 is narrow.

FIG. 2 shows another conventional mounting device.

This mounting device includes a first mounting bracket 9 and a second mounting bracket 10.
and the antenna mounting base 11, and the first mounting bracket 9
There is a support piece 1 bent in a dogleg shape that contacts the bottom surface of the molding 2.
2 and a downwardly bent projecting piece 13 are connected.

The second mounting bracket 10 is bent into an L shape, and ears 14 protrude from both sides of one end of the second mounting bracket 10. The ears 14 are formed in a pair of notches formed in the first mounting bracket 9. 15
It is engaged with.

And the first. The second mounting brackets 9 and 10 are long bolts 16
The molding 2 is held between the tip of the second mounting bracket 10 and the support piece 12.

The protruding piece 13 and the antenna mounting base 11 are connected by a bolt 17.

This configuration has the drawback that the protruding piece 13 protrudes downward from the molding 2, and depending on the shape of the molding 2, the protruding piece 13 protrudes significantly downward, which may impede opening and closing of the door.

In addition, in order to fix this mounting device to the molding 2, loosen the long bolts 16 and 17, and then loosen the long bolts 16 and 17.
While holding with the left hand, the first fitting 9 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the molding 2 with the right hand, and then the tip of the second fitting 10 is inserted into the inner groove of the molding 2.

Then, the long bolt 16 must be tightened while holding the metal fitting so that the ear portion 14 matches the notch 15.

These series of operations must be performed with only the right hand, and if the ear portion 14 and the notch 15 do not match and tighten, or if you are distracted by the above-mentioned matching, the molding 2 and the second mounting bracket 10 This caused the engagement to come off, making installation extremely troublesome.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention provides an automotive antenna mounting device that is easy to install and does not cause any trouble in opening and closing the door.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This mounting device includes a first mounting bracket 20, a second mounting bracket 21, and an antenna mounting base 22.

The first mounting bracket 20 is made by bending a thin plate, and has sliding pieces 23 bent in a U-shape on both sides, and a screw hole 24 is opened in the center of each sliding piece 23.

A pair of elongated holes 25 are opened at a position close to the sliding piece 23 of the first mounting bracket 20, and a dog-shaped support piece 26 that contacts the lower side of the molding 2 is connected to the - side. .

A pair of screw holes 27 are opened in the center of the second mounting bracket 21, and U-shaped ears 28 are bent on both sides.

A long hole 29 is opened in the length direction of the lug 28, and guide pieces 30 are bent toward both sides of each lug 28.

The inner distance between the ear pieces 28 and 28 is made slightly larger than the outer distance between the sliding pieces 23 and 23, and the distance between the guide pieces 30 and 30 is made slightly larger than the width of the sliding piece 23. .

A retaining piece 35 bent into an L-shape is connected to the second mounting fitting 21.

The antenna mounting base 22 has side pieces 31 formed by bending both sides thereof, and each side piece 31 has an opening 32.

Note that the distance between the inner sides of the side pieces 31 is slightly larger than the distance between the outer sides of the ear pieces 28.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The inner surface of the ear piece 28 is brought into contact with the outside of the sliding piece 23, and the inside of the guide piece 30 is brought into contact with both sides of each sliding piece 23, and the first
．． Slide the second mounting bracket 20.21 and the first. Assemble the second fitting 20.21.

Insert the long bolts 33 into the long holes 25, and screw into the screw holes 27.
Screw into.

Next, the antenna mounting base 2 is opened from above the second mounting bracket 21.
2, the inside of the side piece 31 is brought into contact with the outside of the ear piece 28, and the screw 34 is screwed into the screw hole 24 through the passage 32 and the elongated hole 29.

While the long bolts 33 and screws 34 are not completely tightened and each component is movable, the support piece 26 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the molding 2, and the tip of the engagement piece 35 is brought into contact with the inner groove of the molding 2.

When the engaging piece 35 is inserted, the sliding piece 23 is elastically bent and cannot be prevented from freely moving.

Then, when the long bolt 33 is tightened, the sliding piece 23 and the ear piece 2
8 and the 1st. Second mounting bracket 20.
21 approaches, and the waist engaging piece 35 and the support piece 26 press the molding 2 and clamp it.

1st. When the second mounting bracket 20.21 slides, the guide piece 30 is in contact with both sides of the sliding piece 23, so the first and second mounting brackets 20.21 do not deviate from the sliding direction. .

Next, tighten the screws 34 to fix the side pieces 31, ear pieces 28, and sliding pieces 23 together, and form the first fixing bracket 20, second fixing bracket 21, and antenna mounting base 22 into a box shape. Assemble.

An antenna main body 36 is fixed to the upper surface of the antenna mounting base 22.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which it is assembled and attached to the molding 2.

As explained above, in the automotive antenna mounting device of the present invention, the sliding piece 23 of the first mounting bracket 20 and the ear piece 28 of the second mounting bracket 21 are slidably fitted, and the bolt 33
is inserted into the elongated hole 25 and screwed into the screw hole 27, and the supporting piece 2
Since the molding 2 is clamped and fixed between the molding 6 and the engagement piece 35, the first and second mounting fittings can be stably attached to the molding with one hand.

Moreover, since the antenna mounting base 22 is placed over the second mounting bracket 21 from the outside, the screw 34 is inserted into the opening 32 provided in the side piece 31, and is tightened into the screw hole 24 through the elongated hole 29. The first and second mounting brackets and the antenna mount are assembled into a box shape, increasing strength, and the first and second mounting brackets do not loosen when attached to the molding, making the antenna body stable. It can be strongly supported.

Furthermore, since the first and second mounting fittings 20, 21 and the antenna mounting base 22 are fixed coaxially with the screw 34, the mounting fittings do not protrude below the molding, and there is no problem in opening and closing the door.
