## Abstract

An antenna mounting component to be mounted to a fixing aperture on a mounting face of a car body, includes: a male screw for fixing an antenna; a protrusion provided on an antenna base, the protrusion having a female screw corresponding to the male screw; and a legged washer having multiple legs, the male screw being inserted into the legged washer, the legs being to be fixed onto the mounting face. The multiple legs are disposed at an equal interval in a circumferential direction around the inserted male screw through the legged washer; and distances in a radial direction from the inserted male screw to the respective contact points of the multiple legs with the mounting face are equal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An antenna mounting component to be mounted to a fixing aperture on a mounting face of a car body, comprising:
a male screw for fixing an antenna;
a protrusion provided on an antenna base, the protrusion having a female screw corresponding to the male screw; and
a legged washer having multiple legs, the male screw being inserted into the legged washer, the legs being fixed onto the mounting face; wherein
the multiple legs are disposed at an equal interval in a circumferential direction around the inserted male screw through the legged washer; and
distances in a radial direction from the inserted male screw to the respective contact points of the multiple legs with the mounting face are equal.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The antenna mounting component according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion has leg guides on sidewalls for guiding the multiple legs onto the mounting face;
the leg guides having:
first slopes having a relatively large inclination in the radial direction around the inserted male screw; and
second slopes having an inclination smaller than the inclination of the first slopes.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The antenna mounting component according to claim 1, wherein
the legs have rounded grooves; and
the protrusion has the sidewalls including rounded protruding groove guides corresponding to the grooves and guiding the multiple legs onto the mounting face.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The antenna mounting component according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion comprises a temporal-fixing claw provided on a sidewall that does not correspond to the legs and is latched into the fixing aperture.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The antenna mounting component according to claim 1, the leg comprising:
longitudinal walls disposed on opposing sides of the top of each of the legs; and
claws on the top of the longitudinal walls.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The antenna mounting component according to claim 1, wherein
the legs have claws, respectively, on the top; and
the antenna base comprises height adjusters protruding from the fixing aperture at the height being substantially flush with the mounting face such that the claws coming into contact with the height adjusters through tightening of the male screw into the female screw.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

An antenna device comprising:
an antenna mounting component according to claim 1; and
an antenna.
