Abstract
An antenna includes an antenna element having a belt-shaped tip of which edge is chamfered at two corners, and the belt-shaped tip has a rectangular stopper hole at its width center. The antenna includes a base on which a pedestal is formed corresponding to the belt-shaped tip. The pedestal is provided with an arched protrusion shaped like letter “U” so that an insertion slit slightly greater than the belt-shaped tip in width and thickness can be formed. A stopper protrusion is formed on an inner wall of the arched protrusion such that it corresponds to the stopper hole. The belt-shaped tip is inserted into the slit with ease, and the stopper hole mates with the stopper protrusion, thereby fixing the antenna element to the base in a simple manner.
Claims1
An antenna comprising:
- an antenna element made of thin metal sheet;
- and
- a base made of resin having a first face and a second face confronting each other;
- wherein the antenna element is disposed in a continuous form on the first face and the second face of the base,
- wherein the antenna element disposed on the first face has an end of which tip is shaped like a belt and has a stopper hole near an edge of the tip,
- wherein the belt-shaped tip is disposed on the second face of the base, and the second face includes an arched protrusion having an insertion slit into which the belt-shaped tip can be inserted along a direction parallel to a surface of the second face, and the insertion slit has a riveting protrusion on an inner wall of the slit, and the stopper protrusion mates with the stopper hole of the antenna element, and
- wherein when the belt-shaped tip is inserted into the slit, the stopper protrusion mates with the stopper hole for fixing the belt-shaped tip to the base.
