Abstract

A combination of a portable computer and an antenna device includes a portable computer and an antenna device. The top of a screen casing of the portable computer has a plurality of positioning troughs. One side of the casing of the portable computer has an accommodating trough. The antenna device is formed into a sheet-like shape and is accommodated in the accommodating trough. The bottom of the antenna device is provided with a positioning seat. Both sides of the positioning seat have a fixing rod respectively that extends outwardly. The fixing rods and the positioning seat are inserted into the positioning trough. The antenna device is electrically connected with the portable computer, so that the portable computer can receive and transmit the wireless signals via the antenna device.

Claims

1. A combination of a portable computer and an antenna device, comprising:

the portable computer, one side of a casing of the computer having an accommodating trough, one side of a screen casing of the computer being provided with a plurality of positioning troughs; and

the antenna device detachably connected into the accommodating trough, a bottom of the antenna device having a positioning seat, both sides of the positioning seat being provided with a fixing rod respectively;

wherein after the antenna device is removed from the accommodating trough, with the positioning seat and the fixing rods being inserted in the positioning troughs, the antenna device is fixed on the portable computer and thus is electrically connected with the portable computer via the positioning seat.

2. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 1, wherein the accommodating trough is a slot for a PCMCIA card.

3. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 1, wherein the antenna device is formed into a sheet-like shape.

4. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 3, wherein the antenna device further includes a substrate, an upper casing and a lower casing, the upper casing and the lower casing are connected with each other so as to cover the substrate therein.

5. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 4, wherein the substrate is formed into a T-lettered shape.

6. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 4, wherein both sides of the substrate are pivotally connected with a rod-like antenna respectively, thereby widening the intensity and range of the antenna for receiving signals.

7. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 6, wherein the rod-like antenna is telescopic.

8. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 4, wherein the positioning seat is electrically connected with the substrate.

9. The combination of a portable computer and an antenna device according to claim 1, wherein the antenna device is a television antenna.
