Technical Field

The invention is related to a vehicle antenna with a lightning rod head developed to prevent harms against vehicles and passengers inside in case of a stroke of lightning.

Prior Art

Lightning is described as the electrical discharge between air and ground, and significant amount of energy is released during this phenomenon. Living creatures, structures or vehicles present in the site of this electrical discharge called stroke of lightning face serious risks. Therefore, lightning rods (lightning arresters) are being used especially on top of high buildings to provide protection against lightning. However, there is no lightning rod integrated onto the antenna of motor vehicles such as automobiles to protect them against lightning. Although the chance of motor vehicles such as automobiles being strike by lightning is low as the rubber tires act as insulation, vehicles can get stroke by lightning especially in rainy weather since the water layer on the wet tires decrease the insulation and this cause damage both to the motor vehicle (electronic circuits inside the vehicle etc.) and the passengers inside. Purpose of the Invention

The purpose of this invention is to prevent motor vehicles such as automobiles from stroke of lightning and protect both the motor vehicles (electronic circuits inside the vehicle etc) and the passengers inside from serious hazards that may be caused by the stroke of lightning. The purpose of this invention is to enable the antenna present in motor vehicles such as automobiles to be used by integrating a lightning rod.

Description of the invention

The product subject to the invention contains a vehicle antenna rod (1) connected to the hood chassis and a lightning rod (2) attached to the vehicle antenna rod (1 ). There is a lightning rod connection socket (2.1) at the rear side of the lightning rod (2) to connect it to the vehicle antenna rod (1). And the vehicle antenna rod (1) also has a vehicle antenna rod connection socket (1.1). The vehicle antenna rod (1) and the lightning rod (2) are connected with screws by means of lightning rod connection socket (2.1) and vehicle antenna connection socket (1.1). As with other antennas, vehicle antenna rod (1) connected to the hood remains inside the hood and the head of the lightning rod (2) is visible on top of the hood. In case motor vehicles using the product subject to the invention are stroke by lightning, the lightning rod (2) located at the uppermost point conducts the energy charge in the air to the ground (through the hood and tires) and protects both the motor vehicle (electronic circuits inside the motor vehicle etc.) and the passengers inside from the serious hazards that may be caused as a result of the stroke of lightning.

Industrial Embodiment of the Invention

The invention that serves the abovementioned purposes can be manufactured and used for motor vehicles and it is applicable for industrial operation.
