Apparatus and method for producing a jacketed antenna, especially a mobile telephone antenna for motor vehicles, where the jacket is formed about antenna conductive parts in a mold. The mold having a centering pin for insertion in an antenna base body having a mating hole, and an antenna receiving portion attached to the base body so as to be aligned and centered in the mold by the centering pin to assure that the antenna conductive parts are completely encased in the jacketing material.

Method for producing a jacketed mobile antenna

A mobile antenna that repeatably can be attached and detached by rotation from motor vehicles. The antenna having a receiving portion electrically connected to a base body having a contact area for connecting to motor vehicles. The joined base body and receiving portion being encased in a jacket. The base body having grooves with flank surfaces also encased in the jacket; the grooves aligned in the lengthwise direction of the antenna so that the groove flank surfaces are essentially perpendicular to forces produced when the jacket is rotated for attachment and detachment of the antenna to or from the motor vehicle.
