Abstract
Abstract An automobile antenna is formed by laminating an electroconductive wire, between two layers of a clear synthetic tape. One surface or side of the tape is self-adhering and is capable of adhering to a window surface. The tape is clear and will not yellow thereby not interfering with visibility. The electroconductive wire is electrically connected to a cable adapted to be inserted into the antenna receptacle in the automobile radio.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An automotive radio antenna for attachment to an automobile windshield, comprising, a. a fine electroconductive wire, b. a first transparent strip of uniform width and being adhesive along one surface thereof, c. a second transparent strip of uniform width substantially of the same magnitude as the width of said first transparent strip, said second transparent strip being adhesive along one surface thereof, d. said first and second strips being secured in substantially juxtaposed coincident relation with said electroconductive wire therebetween with the confronting surfaces of said strips comprising the adhesive surface of said first strip and the surface other than the adhesive surface of said second strip, e. whereby a laminated assembly is formed having outer surfaces comprising, respectively, the adhesive surface of said second strip and the nonadhesive surface of said first strip, said laminated assembly being securable to said windshield surface along the adhesive surface of said second strip to define an antenna for said automobile.
