Abstract

An antenna unit includes: an external body; a display unit which is provided on one side of the external body and displays information; an antenna which is provided on the other side of the external body and is disposed to face the display unit at an interval therebetween; an internal body which accommodates the antenna and is movable with respect to the external body toward a side opposite to the display unit. The external body has a belt connecting section which protrudes toward the side opposite to the display unit. The internal body protrudes from the external body by moving toward the side opposite to the display unit. The internal body protrudes farther from the external body than the belt connecting section from the external body.

Claims (21)

1. An antenna unit comprising:

a case main body;

a display unit which is provided on one side of the case main body and displays information;

an antenna which is provided on the other side of the case main body and is disposed to face the display unit at an interval therebetween;

an antenna accommodating unit which accommodates the antenna and is movable with respect to the case main body toward a side opposite to the display unit; and

a locking mechanism that arbitrarily adjusts relative positions of the antenna accommodating unit and the case main body when the antenna accommodating unit is positioned on a side of the display unit.

2. The antenna unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the case main body has a protruding section which protrudes toward the side opposite to the display unit,

wherein the antenna accommodating unit protrudes from the case main body by moving toward the side opposite to the display unit, and

wherein the antenna accommodating unit protrudes farther from the case main body than the protruding section from the case main body.

3. The antenna unit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a bias member that biases the antenna accommodating unit toward the side opposite to the display unit; and

a holding member that holds the antenna accommodating unit when the antenna accommodating unit is positioned on the side of the display unit.

4. The antenna unit according to claim 3 ,

wherein the holding member is a lid member that covers the antenna accommodating unit.

5. The antenna unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the locking mechanism is configured to have

an external threaded section formed on one side of the antenna accommodating unit and the case main body, and

an internal threaded section formed on the other side of the antenna accommodating unit and the case main body.
