Abstract:
1. An antenna holder to be mounted on a body part of a motor vehicle having an opening, comprising: an antenna base; and a preassembled anchoring device projecting beyond the antenna base, the outer cross section of the preassembled anchoring device being smaller than an opening cross section of the opening of the motor vehicle; wherein the preassembled anchoring device includes: wherein the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw, in a non-deformed initial state, are arranged running from a center part of the anchoring claw obliquely away from the antenna base and outwards from the axis of the actuating member, wherein the spreading element is arranged on a side of the anchoring claw lying facing away from the antenna base, wherein the spreading element has spreading arms that act on the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw so that on actuation of the actuating member, the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw are spread apart as the spreading element approaches the antenna base, the spreading element bending the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw while effecting a deformation and directing the spreadable arms towards the antenna base so that free ends of the spreadable arms in a spread-apart position press onto a surface of the body part facing away from the antenna base, as the spreadable arms are bent upwardly towards the antenna base by the spreading element, and wherein the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw have embossings extending over part of the length of the arms, with a convexly curved outer side facing the antenna base and with a concavely curved inner side pointing away from the antenna base, and wherein the spreading arms of the spreading element are provided on an upper side of the spreading arms, facing the antenna base, with sliding surfaces which are bent and are convex in cross-section, which are essentially configured to correspond generally in shape to the concave inner sides of the spreadable arms of the anchoring claw.
