Abstract
A casing body is formed with a hole having an inner wall formed with a recess. A holder is made of resin and has an elastic retainer which is retractably projected from an outer peripheral face of the holder and engaged with the recess when the holder is fitted into the hole. A rod-shaped antenna element is held in the holder so as to movable between a first position being accommodated in the casing body and a second position being withdrawn from the casing body. The antenna element has a first power feeding portion and a second power feeding portion, the antenna element. A conductive contact member is disposed in the holder. A first portion of the contact member is brought into contact with the first power feeding portion when the antenna element is placed in the first position and with the second power feeding portion when the antenna element is placed in the second position. A second portion of the contact member is extended to the outside of the holder. A power feeding terminal is disposed in the casing body so as to come in contact with the second portion of the contact member.
