ABSTRACT:
An antenna mount for attaching a whip-type antenna to a peripheral edge of a vehicular trunk lid. The mount comprises an insulative housing having top and side walls defining a cavity, the side wall having a peripheral edge adapted to engage the lid adjacent the edge to close a part of the cavity, a portion of the side wall edge being adapted to extend outwardly beyond the lid edge to define therewith an opening communicating with the cavity. A metallic mounting bracket member is provided having a portion in the cavity engaging the inner surface of the top wall, the bracket member having a clamp portion adapted to embrace the edge of the lid. The clamp portion has an elongated slot formed therein having an end spaced from the distal end of the bracket member to define an end section thereof, the end section having an indentation formed therein aligned with the slot and communicating therewith. Threaded fasteners are provided for securing the clamp portion of the bracket member to the lid adjacent the edge, and a stud extends through aligned openings in the top wall of the housing and the bracket member. A nut on the stud engages the outer surface of the top wall thereby securing the bracket member to the housing, the nut being adapted to have the antenna threadedly attached thereto. An antenna lead has an end in the housing cavity connected to the stud, the lead being disposed in the slot in the clamp portion of the bracket member and in the indentation thereby protecting the lead when the lid is closed.
