Antenna contacting assembly
First Claim
1. An antenna contacting assembly for providing electrical contact between a first conducting surface and a second conducting surface, the antenna contacting assembly comprising:
- a first portion solidly attached to said first conducting surface;
a second portion, said second portion shaped for engaging in a traction mode, said first conducting surface with said second conducting surface;
wherein said first and second conducting surfaces include an inner part and an outer part;
wherein said second portion comprises a tip for contacting said outer part of said second conducting surface; and
wherein when said tip interferes with said outer part of said second conducting surface for operation of said antenna contacting assembly in said traction mode, said tip rotates and moves away from said first conducting surface.

Abstract
This invention refers to an antenna contacting assembly which allows electrical connection of an antenna element to the RF module of a wireless device when very little space is available on the side of the PCB underneath the antenna element. The antenna contacting assembly provides electrical contact between a first conducting surface and a second conducting surface by engaging in traction mode said first conducting surface with said second conducting surface. Further the invention refers to an antenna system provided with such antenna contacting assembly and the corresponding wireless device with an antenna system provided with such antenna contacting assembly.
