A vehicle antenna assembly includes an element coil, a holder, and a retainer. The element coil can have a polygonal configuration in a cross-section taken normal to a coil access. The holder can include rails. The retainer can engage the rails and apply a compressive load on the element coil to fix the element coil with respect to the holder. A method for holding an antenna element is also disclosed.

Vehicle antenna assembly

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a dielectric panel mounted to the vehicle frame, an antenna unit mounted on the dielectric panel, an electrically conductive bracket connected with the antenna unit, and a resilient ground plate connected with the bracket and the vehicle frame. The dielectric panel can be interposed between the antenna unit and the bracket. The resilient ground plate can facilitate grounding the antenna unit to the vehicle frame. A vehicle antenna unit and an antenna mount for the vehicle antenna unit are also disclosed.

Vehicle antenna unit

A frame for a speaker device includes a magnetic circuit housing unit which houses a magnetic circuit, an annular outer peripheral portion which is arranged on an outer side of the magnetic circuit housing unit, and plural arm portions which connect the magnetic circuit housing unit and the outer peripheral portion. The plural arm portions form such plural bridges that a pair of the arm portions are linearly positioned to connect two parts of the outer peripheral portion, and each of the bridges does not pass through a center of the outer peripheral portion.

Frame for speaker device and speaker device

An antenna is adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body. An antenna base is formed with a first through hole. A first fixing screw is provided with a thread portion adapted to be inserted into a second through hole formed in the vehicle body via the first through hole, and a head portion continued from the thread portion and having a size larger than the second through hole. A receptacle is provided on the antenna base and receiving the head portion such that an axis of the first fixing screw is swingable relative to the vehicle body. A nut is adapted to be fitted with the thread portion so as to clamp the vehicle body together with the head portion.

Structure for mounting antenna base on vehicle body

A frame for a speaker device includes a magnetic circuit housing unit which houses a magnetic circuit, a substantially annular outer peripheral portion which is arranged on an outer side of the magnetic circuit housing unit, and plural arm portions which connect the magnetic circuit housing unit and the outer peripheral portion. Each of the plural arm portions has a sectional shape of a one-open-end shape having a connected end and an open end, and the plural arm portions include an arm portion having the open end oriented to one direction and an arm portion having the open end oriented to a direction opposite to the one direction.

A frame for a speaker device has an annular outer peripheral portion. The outer peripheral portion includes plural wall portions concentrically formed. An end surface of the wall portion on an inner circumferential side of the outer peripheral portion is formed at a position recessed as compared with an end surface of the wall portion on an outer circumferential side in a direction of a central axis of the outer peripheral portion.
