Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A broadcasting wave reception antenna apparatus comprising: a flat magnetic member having a center portion and a plurality of projections extending radially outwardly from said center portion in respective directions which all lie in a common plane; a plurality of coils, each said coil being wound around a respective said projection of said magnetic member, a first group of said coils being connected in series with each other between a first pair of first and second nodes, and the rest of said coils being a second group connected in series with each other between a second pair of first and second nodes; a cable having two conductors which are each connected to said first node of a respective said pair; a vehicle body wall having spaced first and second wall members; and a soft resilient member having a large compression ratio, having a thickness greater than the distance between said first and second wall members, and having said magnetic member and said coils fully embedded therein, said resilient member being disposed between said first and second wall members under compression and said magnetic member and coils being spaced from each of said wall members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
194 words
A broadcasting wave reception antenna apparatus comprising: a flat magnetic member having a center portion and a plurality of projections extending radially outwardly from said center portion in respective directions which all lie in a common plane; a plurality of coils, each said coil being wound around a respective said projection of said magnetic member, a first group of said coils being connected in series with each other between a first pair of first and second nodes, and the rest of said coils being a second group connected in series with each other between a second pair of first and second nodes; a cable having two conductors which are each connected to said first node of a respective said pair; a vehicle body wall having spaced first and second wall members; and a soft resilient member having a large compression ratio, having a thickness greater than the distance between said first and second wall members, and having said magnetic member and said coils fully embedded therein, said resilient member being disposed between said first and second wall members under compression and said magnetic member and coils being spaced from each of said wall members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said magnetic member is a single integral part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An antenna according to claim 1, wherein said magnetic member includes a plurality of magnetic bars which are coupled together.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each pair of adjacent said coils in each said series-connected group is provided on adjacent said projections of said magnetic member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said coils are wound generally helically on said projections, and wherein one coil of each pair has a radially outer end which is connected to a radially inner end of the other coil of the pair.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said second nodes are directly electrically connected so that all of said coils of said first and second groups together form a single loop type antenna.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said second nodes are electrically separate so that said first and second groups of coils form respective poles of a dipole antenna.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said thickness of said resilient member is substantially greater than the distance between said wall members, said resilient member being substantially compressed by said wall members.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
49 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said vehicle wall includes a thermal insulation sheet which is disposed between said wall members and which has therethrough an opening corresponding in size and shape to said resilient member, said resilient member being disposed in said opening in said sheet.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
63 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first wall member has on a side thereof remote from said resilient member a surface which is an exterior surface of said vehicle body, and said second wall member has on a side thereof remote from said resilient member a surface which is an interior surface of a passenger compartment of said vehicle body.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
56 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, including a platelike base member which extends parallel to and is secured to one side of said flat magnetic member, said base member extending outwardly beyond a radially outer end of each said projection of said magnetic member, and said base member being fully embedded in said resilient member.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
60 words
An antenna apparatus according to claim 1, including a plurality of high band reception antenna coils embedded in said resilient member free of contact with said magnetic member, each said high band reception antenna coil extending from a location near said center portion of said magnetic member approximately radially outwardly between a respective pair of said projections which are adjacent.
