Outer conductor attachment apparatus for coaxial connector
First Claim
1. An outer conductor attachment apparatus for use with a coaxial cable connector, said apparatus comprising:
- a truncated cone shaped member having a longitudinal passageway therethrough, an outer conical major surface and a narrow annular groove adjacent the larger end of said member defining an outer cylindrical minor surface;
a circumferentially resilient annular locking ring receivable in said groove and having an internal diameter in the unstressed free state greater than the diameter of said annular groove, said ring also having a circumferential camming surface; and
a clamping member slidable over said cone shaped member and said ring, said clamping member having a truncated cone shaped passage therethrough sized to receive the outer major surface of said cone shaped member, said passage including a section for engaging said camming surface to force said ring into said groove;
whereby the essentially tubular outer conductor of a coaxial cable inserted in said apparatus is deformed over said cone shaped member and into said groove, and clamped between the outer major and minor surfaces of said cone shaped member and the inner surfaces of said clamping member and said ring.

Abstract
An outer conductor attachment apparatus for use with a coaxial cable connector. The apparatus comprises a truncated cone shaped member having a longitudinal passage extending therethrough for insertion of the inner conductors of a coaxial cable. Adjacent the larger end of the cone shaped member, there is an annular groove. An annular locking ring sized to fit into the groove, is expandable so that it can be slid over the cone shaped member and into the groove. A clamping member is securable over the cone shaped member and the ring to clamp the outer conductor between the outer surface of the cone shaped member and the inner surfaces of the clamping member and locking ring.
