Adjustable sliding electrical contact for waveguide post and coaxial line termination
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An adjustable sliding electrical contact structure comprising:
- a bushing for securement into the outer body wall of a waveguide, an interior space within said bushing terminated at one end by an axially facing wall and at the other end by a clamp movable with respect to said bushing, through said bushing, a conductor post positioned through said bushing opening;
a clamp member positioned in said interior space between said facing wall and said clamp and embracing said post, said clamp member being structured so that, when said clamp is urged toward said facing wall to stress said clamp member, said clamp member is forced into resilient engagement with said post.

Abstract
A waveguide post slides through a resilient barrel which is adjustably clamped against the waveguide post to control its slidability and provide reliable electric contact. As a sliding short for a coaxial transmisson line termination, a shorting bar incorporating two resilient barrels engages both the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial transmission line with resilient clamping and reliable electrical conduction.

10. An adjustable sliding electrical contact structure comprising:
-
an outer conductor body of a coaxial transmission line; a conductive bar slidably positionable with respect to said outer conductor body to serve as an electrical contact with said outer conductor body, said sliding conductive bar having a shoulder thereon and having a spring adjuster thereon; a tubular axially stressed spring resiliently engaged between said outer conductor body, with one end of said tubular spring resting against said shoulder, said spring adjuster engaging on the other end of said spring to resiliently deflect said spring to provide mechanical engagement and electrical contact between said body and said bar. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
