Abstract

An antenna pattern frame and insert injection-molding method of manufacturing including a radiator having an antenna pattern part configured to transmit or receive a signal and a support part extending from one side of the antenna pattern part; and a radiator frame, wherein the antenna pattern part is exposed on one surface of the radiator frame and an end portion of the support part is exposed on an opposite surface of the radiator frame, wherein a bridge groove is disposed in the opposite surface of the radiator frame extending from the exposed end portion of the support part to an edge of the radiator frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An antenna pattern frame comprising:
a radiator comprising an antenna pattern part configured to transmit or receive a signal and a support part extending from one side of the antenna pattern part; and a radiator frame wherein the antenna pattern part is exposed on one surface of the radiator frame and an end portion of the support part is exposed on an opposite surface of the radiator frame, wherein a bridge groove is disposed in the opposite surface of the radiator frame extending from the exposed end portion of the support part to an edge of the radiator frame.

2 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein a protrusion part protrudes from the bridge groove.

3 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion part has a height equal to a depth of the bridge groove.

4 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion part comprises a plurality of protrusion parts spaced apart from each other in the bridge groove.

5 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein the support part comprises a plurality of support parts which are spaced apart from each other.

6 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 5 , wherein the bridge groove comprises a plurality of bridge grooves, and
the plurality of bridge grooves correspond to the plurality of support parts, respectively.

7 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein the bridge groove extends to a side surface of the radiator frame.

8 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the bridge groove is equal to a thickness of the support part.

9 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein the antenna pattern part is provided with at least one guide pin hole.

10 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 9 , wherein the antenna pattern part is embedded in the one surface of the radiator frame.

11 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 10 , wherein one surface of the radiator frame is provided with an over-molding part which is disposed in the guide pin hole, and
a top portion of the over-molding part covers a portion of an upper surface of the antenna pattern part in which the guide pin hole is formed.

12 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 11 , wherein an upper surface of the over-molding part is disposed to be level with or lower than the one surface of the radiator frame.

13 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein the radiator comprises a different material from the radiator frame.

14 . The antenna pattern frame of claim 1 , wherein the antenna pattern part comprises a straight portion and an angled portion.

15 . A method of manufacturing an antenna pattern frame, the method comprising:
combining an upper mold and a lower mold to form an internal space; disposing a radiator and a bridge in the internal space, wherein the bridge comprises a fixing hole; inserting a fixing pin through the upper and lower molds into the fixing hole; injecting a resin into the internal space; and removing the bridge after the injection-molding is completed.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein disposing the radiator in the internal space comprises:
bending a support part from one side of an antenna pattern part of the radiator and connecting the support part to the bridge.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the antenna pattern part is disposed to be closely adhered to a surface of the upper or lower mold, and
the bridge is disposed to be closely adhered to a surface of the upper or lower mold that does not contact the antenna pattern part.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein disposing the radiator in the internal space comprises connecting a support part of the radiator to the bridge.
