ABSTRACT:
A clutch for a motor driven antenna according to the present invention includes a driving member rotated by a driving motor, a driven member for transmitting a rotating force of the driving member to an antenna element, and a clutch element for frictionally transmitting the rotating force of the driving member to the driven member. The clutch element includes recesses formed on a rotating track of one of opposing sides of the driving member and driven member, projections formed on a rotating track of the other side so as to be fitted into the recesses when the driving member and the driven member are rotated relative to each other, and anti-slip members protruded near the recesses such that a sliding frictional force caused at the tip end contact portions of the projections exceeds a maximum load of the antenna element including the driven member when the antenna element is extended or retracted.
