Abstract

An antenna coupling device for a mobile terminal adapted to couple, to a terminal body of the mobile terminal, an antenna unit including an antenna housing adapted to be coupled to the terminal body, and an antenna extending through the antenna housing into the terminal body at an inner end. The antenna coupling device includes an antenna coupling member rotatably fitted in the antenna housing at one end of the antenna housing facing the terminal body, and engaging elements for selectively engaging the antenna with the antenna coupling member to restrain the antenna coupling member by the antenna, causing the antenna coupling member to be coupled to an antenna bushing provided at the terminal body in accordance with rotation of the antenna.
