Abstract

The antenna structure is applied for a communication system. The antenna structure has a signal emitting/receiving portion, a flex transmitting line disposed under the signal emitting/receiving portion and electrically connected to the signal emitting/receiving portion, and a connecting portion having a first end and a second end. The first end of the connecting portion is electrically connected to the flex transmitting line, and the second end of the connecting portion is connected to an assembling portion. The antenna structure further includes a bendable piece corresponding to the flex transmitting line. The bendable piece can be bent by a force to change positions, directions, or positions and directions of the signal emitting/receiving portion connected with the flex transmitting line. The bendable piece, the flex transmitting line and the signal emitting/receiving portion are covered by a sheath.

Claims (10)

1. An antenna structure applied for a communication system, comprising: a signal emitting/receiving portion, a flex transmitting line disposed under the signal emitting/receiving portion and electrically connected to the signal emitting/receiving portion, and a connecting portion having a first end and a second end, the first end of the connecting portion electrically connected to the flex transmitting line, the second end of the connecting portion connected to an assembling portion, the assembling portion electrically connected with the communication system, the antenna structure further including a bendable piece corresponding to the flex transmitting line, the bendable piece being bent by a force to change positions, directions, or positions and directions of the signal emitting/receiving portion connected with the flex transmitting line, and the bendable piece, the flex transmitting line, and the signal emitting/receiving portion being covered by a sheath.

2. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheath has an elastic force and the bendable piece has a deformation force, the elastic force is less than the deformation force so that the bendable piece is fixed in a predetermined position and direction when the bendable piece is forced on.

3. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheath has a concave portion corresponding to the bendable piece.

4. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the concave portion has anti-slide structure thereon.

5. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bendable piece has one end fixed to the first end of the connecting portion.

6. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bendable piece has one end welded to the second end of the connecting portion.

7. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bendable piece is made of a metal material.

8. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the metal material is a stainless steel.

9. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sheath is made of an elastic material.

10. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the elastic material is a rubber material or plastics.
