ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a glass antenna and connection arrangement. The antenna includes a first glass sheet having a notch area cut out along a portion of an edge of the first sheet, a second glass sheet secured in overlaying relation to the first sheet, and at least one electroconductive antenna element supported on the second sheet between the first and second sheets. The antenna element includes a portion that extends into the notch area. A connector is positioned within the notch area and filler material fills the notch area to secure the connector within the notch area and seal the notch area. The connector includes a first section which overlays the portion of the electroconductive antenna element extending within the notch area, a second section with selected portions which extend along and are secured to an outer major surface of the first sheet, and a third section which interconnects the first and second sections. A terminal assembly is positioned at an end of the second section to allow connection of the electroconductive element to an external transmitting and/or receiving device, e.g. a radio, cellular phone or global positioning system.
