Abstract

In the waterproof structure of an antenna of the present invention, a width of an open end top of a second notch provided on a projection of a second case is formed so as to be wider than a diameter of a cable, the cable that crosses a recess of a first case is placed in a first notch, and the projection that projects into the recess allows an adhesive to penetrate in the second notch and the adhesive seals a space between the cable and the second notch to thereby seal containers. As the result, a space between a top half of the cable and the second notch is sealed securely with the adhesive, the containers are sealed securely, and reliable waterproof is realized.
