Structure for connecting window glass antenna with feeder

Claim 1

An antenna attached to a window glass for transmitting and receiving ultrashort waves, the antenna comprising: a primary antenna having a first feed point which is electrically connected therewith; a secondary antenna having a second feed point which is electrically connected therewith; a feeder which is a coaxial cable having inner and outer conductors, an insulator disposed therebetween, and an outer cover covering the outer conductor; a first terminal having a first base portion soldered to the first feed point, a supporting portion for soldering thereto the inner conductor of said feeder so as to achieve an electrical connection between said first terminal and the inner conductor, and a first connecting portion for uniting the supporting portion with the first base portion; and a second terminal having a second base portion soldered to the second feed point, a first holding portion for holding the outer cover of said feeder, and a second holding portion for holding the outer conductor of said feeder so as to achieve an electrical connection between said second terminal and the outer conductor, the first and second holding portions of said second terminal being hollow and substantially cylindrical in shape and having means for respectively defining mouth portions, the mouth portions being expanded, upon thrusting said feeder into the first and second holding portions, such that the outer cover and the outer conductor are tightly held by the first and second holding portions, the second holding portion having means for defining therein a through opening and solder adhered thereto for filling up the through opening, wherein, after melting the solder, an electrical connection between the second holding portion and the outer conductor is achieved.
