Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wiring module includes: a functional sheet disposed between a roof panel forming a roof part of a vehicle and an interior member forming a ceiling shape of a vehicle interior to planarly extend over the roof panel and the interior member; an antenna provided on the functional sheet; and a transmission member formed on the functional sheet, wherein the functional sheet includes a layer having at least one of a heat insulation function, an acoustic insulation function, and a radio wave shielding function, and the transmission member electrically connects an in-vehicle apparatus mounted to the vehicle and the antenna.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A wiring module, comprising: a functional sheet disposed between a roof panel forming a roof part of a vehicle and an upper surface of an interior member forming a ceiling shape of a vehicle interior to planarly extend over the roof panel and the interior member; an antenna provided on the functional sheet; and a transmission member formed on the functional sheet, wherein the functional sheet includes a layer having at least one of a heat insulation function, an acoustic insulation function, and a radio wave shielding function, and the transmission member electrically connects an in-vehicle apparatus mounted to the vehicle and the antenna. 2 . The wiring module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna is provided on one surface of the functional sheet, the transmission member is provided on another surface of the functional sheet, and a passing part through which the transmission member passes is provided in the functional sheet. 3 . The wiring module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes a communication antenna provided in a position on the functional sheet corresponding to a hole formed in the roof panel. 4 . The wiring module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes an interior-side antenna performing wireless communication with an apparatus in the vehicle interior, and the interior-side antenna is provided closer to a side of the vehicle interior in relation to a radio wave shielding layer having a radio wave shielding function on the functional sheet including the radio wave shielding layer. 5 . The wiring module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes an external communication antenna performing communication with an apparatus located on an outer side of the vehicle, and the external communication antenna is provided closer to the outer side of the vehicle in relation to a radio wave shielding layer having a radio wave shielding function on the functional sheet including the radio wave shielding layer. 6 . The wiring module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes an interior-side antenna performing a non-contact power supply to an apparatus in the vehicle interior, and the interior-side antenna is provided closer to a side of the vehicle interior in relation to the functional sheet.
