Patent ID: 7422189

Claim:
A device for securing a vehicle antenna to a vehicle body, comprising: a plurality of projections that engage behind an orifice in the vehicle body for introducing the device on a side of the vehicle body facing away from the vehicle antenna, wherein: the projections are situated in such a way that the device, together with the projections, is introducible into the orifice in a predetermined position with respect to the orifice, and the projections engage behind the orifice by rotation of the projections with respect to the side of the vehicle facing away from the vehicle antenna after introduction into the orifice; and a body including a first cross-sectional area in the form of a polygonal figure outside an area of the projections, the polygonal figure corresponding to a cross-sectional area of the orifice such that the device is introducible into the orifice outside the area of the projections, wherein: the body includes a second cross-sectional area in the area of the projections that also corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the orifice such that the device is also introducible into the orifice in the area of the projections, the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional are not identical to each other, the body is in the form of a square, the first cross-sectional area is approximately square, and the second cross-sectional area is approximately hexagonal.
