DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is the installation method of wireless signal receptor antenna.

A flexible antenna 10 is placed inside the apparatus 30 in a collapsed and movable mode 20. A pushing means 40 is placed on the apparatus 30 for the antenna 10 to be extended or collapsed.

The present invention provides an installation method of the wireless signal receptor antenna. The pushing means 40 is achieved by the apparatus body 31 of the apparatus 30 and a sliding cover 32 placed on one side of the apparatus body 31 toward a certain direction. A terminal 11 of the antenna 10 is positioned inside the sliding cover 32, and the other terminal 12 is positioned inside the apparatus body 31. The antenna 10 is in the collapsed and movable mode 20 between the two terminals 11, 12 in the space between the apparatus body 31 and the sliding cover 32. The collapsed and movable mode 20 of the antenna 10 has a zig-zag shape.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, there is another installation method of the wireless signal receptor antenna. The apparatus 30 is a single apparatus body 31, so that a terminal 11 of the antenna 10 can be positioned inside the apparatus 30. The other terminal is placed outside the apparatus 30, so that the antenna 10 can be placed inside the apparatus 30 in the collapsed and movable mode 20.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the pushing means 40 can be achieved by placing a push bottom 33 on the external wall of the apparatus 30. The inside of the push bottom 33 is connected to the antenna 10 inside the apparatus 30, so that the push bottom 33 can slide toward a certain direction and drive one terminal 12 of the antenna 10 to the outside of the apparatus 30. The collapsed and movable mode 20 of the antenna 10 has a zig-zag shape in this embodiment as well.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, there is still another installation method of wireless signal receptor antenna. A flexible antenna 10 is placed inside the apparatus 30 in a collapsed and movable mode 20. A folding means 50 is placed on the apparatus 30 for the antenna 10 to be extended or collapsed.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the present invention provides an installation method of the wireless signal receptor antenna. The folding means 50 is achieved by the apparatus body 61 of the apparatus 60. By one terminal of the apparatus body 61 lifting the casing 62 toward a certain direction, one terminal 11 of the antenna 10 is positioned inside the casing 62, and the other terminal 12 is positioned inside the apparatus body 61. The collapsed and movable mode 20 of the antenna 10 has a folded shape.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the structure with a wireless signal receptor antenna is shown.

An apparatus 30 has an apparatus body 31 and a sliding cover 32 on one side of the apparatus body 31. The sliding cover 32 is able to slide toward a certain direction.

An antenna 10 can be collapsed and has at least two terminals 11, 12. One terminal 11 is positioned inside the sliding cover 32, and the other terminal 12 is positioned inside the apparatus body 31. The antenna 10 can be in the collapsed and movable mode 20 between the two terminals 11, 12 in the space between the apparatus body 31 and the sliding cover 32.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, another structure with a wireless signal receptor antenna is shown.

The structure includes an apparatus 30, an antenna 10, and a push button 33. The antenna 10 can be collapsed and has at least two terminals 11, 12. One terminal 11 is positioned inside the apparatus 30, and the other terminal 12 is positioned outside the apparatus 30. The antenna 10 can be in the collapsed and movable mode 20 between the two terminals 11, 12 inside the apparatus 30. The push button 33 can be placed on the apparatus 30, sliding toward a certain direction. The inside of the push button 33 is connected to the inside of the apparatus 30 near the antenna 10 on top.

As shown in FIGS. 5,6, still another structure with a wireless signal receptor antenna is shown.

An apparatus 60 has an apparatus body 61 and a casing 62 on one terminal of the apparatus body 61 that is lifted toward one certain direction or covers one side of the apparatus. An antenna 10 can be collapsed and has at least two terminals 11, 12. One terminal 11 is positioned inside the casing 62, and the other terminal 12 is positioned inside the apparatus body 61.
