Abstract
A four element television frequency antenna of the dipole type, for indoor reception use, the four dipole rods being pivotally connected to a common supporting bracket so as to be capable of different degrees of positioning, the bracket being so designed as to pre-determine the usual or normal positions of reception adjustment. The antenna is of a size, bulk, and configuration to optionally enable it to be bodily horizontally disposed largely under a television receiver so as to be supported by the floor of a room. The four dipole rods are connectable to a standard selector switch structure, separate therefrom, and by which, through conventional means, various effective directivity patterns may be manually selected.
Claims8
An indoor television antenna comprising insulating supporting means, at least four dipole rods connected to said supporting means, and all mutually insulated thereon two of said dipole rods serving as a rearward dipole and said two dipole rods being in alignment and having their inner terminal ends connected to said supporting means, the other two dipole rods being together V-shaped, with their inner terminal ends also connected to said supporting means, all four inner terminal ends being immediately adjacent each other so that the four dipole rods substantially take the form of a K on its side.
