An antenna mounting apparatus, including a bracket that holds at least a part of electronic components constituting an antenna device including an antenna element, the bracket being fixed by a bolt fixed to a frame; and a holder provided on a first surface of the bracket facing the frame, the holder temporarily fixing the bolt.

Claims (19)

1. An antenna mounting apparatus for mounting at least a part of electronic components constituting an antenna device including an antenna element to a frame through a bolt fixed to the frame, comprising:

a bracket configured to hold at least the part of the electronic components and be fixed by the bolt; and

a holder provided on a first surface of the bracket facing the frame,

wherein the holder is configured to temporarily engage the bolt when the bolt is inserted through the bracket,

wherein the bracket is provided with a protective member that protects the holder, and

wherein a length of the protective member projecting from the first surface to a side on which the frame is located is longer than a length between a surface of the holder facing the frame and the first surface.

2. The antenna mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least a region in the holder, configured to contact the bolt when inserted, is made of resin or rubber.

3. The antenna mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the bracket and the holder is provided with a spacer that maintains a state in which at least a region in the holder in contact with the bolt is separated from the frame.

4. The antenna mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the bracket is provided with a bolt hole through which the bolt passes when inserted, and

when viewed from a vertical direction in which the bracket and the holder are arranged, a dimension of a region in the bolt hole not overlapping a member constituting the holder in one direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is equal to or shorter than a nominal diameter of the bolt.

5. The antenna mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the bracket is provided with a bolt hole through which the bolt passes when inserted,

the holder is provided with a beam,

a gap is provided between the beam and the bracket, and

When viewed from a vertical direction in which the bracket and the holder are arranged, a dimension of a region in the bolt hole not overlapping the beam in one direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is equal to or shorter than a nominal diameter of the bolt.

6. The antenna mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a nut configured to screw the bolt,
