Abstract
A combined battery holder and antenna is utilized into a remote signaling device, or keyfob for a vehicle. The battery holder receives the battery at an inner peripheral surface of a bobbin body. The coil antenna is wound about the outer peripheral surface of the bobbin body. In this way, the single part can provide both functions. This reduces the required space necessary for providing all functions within the keyfob.
