Patent ID: 7238398

Claim:
A vehicle antenna ornament for engaging an end of a vehicle antenna terminating in an ornament in the form of an aircraft, the vehicle antenna ornament comprising: an ornamental element having at least one elongated fuselage with a plurality of wings, at least one elevator and at least one rudder, and said antenna ornament further possessing at least two stabilizer shafts having a solid spherical object securely attached on the upper end of each said stabilizer shaft, each said solid spherical object rotationally engaging said ornament in recessed concave compartments located at opposing points equidistant from the longitudinal axis of said ornamental element, the lower portion of said stabilizer shafts terminating at a tapered collector pylon possessing a central bore, said collector pylon central bore being engaged by an generally cylindrical antenna retainer having a shaft diameter proportional to and allowing frictional engagement of said collector pylon central bore, said collector pylon further having an antenna retainer spline extending from the outward surface of said central bore towards the center line of said central bore, a distance allowing free engagement of the antenna shaft, said antenna retainer further having a cap formed on the uppermost end, the bottom of which engages the top of said collector pylon to prevent vertical displacement of said collector pylon, said antenna retainer further possessing an lateral antenna tip insertion bore, being sized to allow free introduction of said antenna tip, said antenna retainer further having a central bore, beginning at the intersection of said antenna tip insertion bore and extending downward to terminate at the lower end of said antenna retainer shaft, said central bore being sized to allow free engagement of said antenna shaft, said antenna retainer further having an antenna insertion channel proportional to and allowing free introduction of the shaft of said vehicle antenna into said central bore of said antenna retainer, said antenna insertion channel further being engaged by said antenna retainer spline as said collector pylon is frictionally engaged by said antenna retainer.
