Vehicle antenna arrangement and auxiliary vehicle antenna
First Claim
1. A vehicle antenna arrangement, comprising an antenna base mountable on a vehicle body;
- a base plate on which said antenna base is mounted and which is connectable to the vehicle body;
a tube extending through said base plate;
at least one antenna cable carried to said antenna base through said tube, said tube on a side of said base plate which is remote from said antenna base having a lateral opening;
a retaining plate provided under said antenna base and having a recess at a level of said opening of said tube, said tube extending through said recess of said retaining plate;
at least one further antenna cable passing through said opening of said tube via said recess of said retaining plate;
a housing connected to said retaining plate and having a further opening so that said further antenna cable passes into said housing through said further opening, said housing including a further antenna system with which said further antenna cable is connected.

Abstract
A vehicle antenna arrangement and an auxiliary vehicle antenna are proposed that enable a further antenna system (55) to be adapted to a vehicle antenna (2). The further antenna system (55) is accommodated in a housing (50) that is mounted on a retaining plate (35). The retaining plate (35) has a recess (40) and is mounted on a vehicle body (1). In the region of the recess (40), the vehicle body (1) has an aperture (20), through which a tube (15) is passed that is connected to a base plate (10) and an antenna base (5), mounted on it, of the vehicle antenna (2). The base plate (10) rests on the retaining plate (35) via protrusions (80). Two antenna cables (25) and (26) are extended to the antenna base (5) through the tube (15). A further antenna cable (45) leaves the tube (15) through a lateral opening (30) between the vehicle body (1) and the base plate (10), the spacing (90) between the vehicle body (1) and the base plate (10) being greater than the diameter of the further antenna cable (45). Via the recess (40), the further antenna cable (45) is passed along the retaining plate (35) and through an opening (49) of the housing (50) to reach the further antenna system (55), with which it is connected. To adapt the further antenna system (55) to the vehicle antenna (2), the retaining plate (35) needs merely to be connected to the vehicle antenna (2) and the vehicle body (1) via the tube (15). To that end, the tube (15) inside the vehicle body (1), has a male thread (70) onto which a nut (75) can be screwed.
