Wall recess cable connector permitting simplified innerconnection and limiting protruding cables
First Claim
1. A flush-type, connector assembly for interconnecting coaxial cables of office apparatus with pre-wired, interior wall coaxial cables, said assembly includinga wall plate adapted for mounting over an opening in a building wall, and mounting means therefor,said wall plate including one inwardly-extending recessed chamber having top, bottom, side and back walls, with at least one of said top, bottom, or side walls being at an obtuse angle to the plane of said wall plate,a coaxial connector mounted on and through said last-named wall, said connector being adapted to interconnect with coaxial cables on each side of said last-named wall,said obtuse angle being such relative to the dimensions of said chamber and the location of said connector on its said wall as to allow said coaxial cable on the chamber side of said plate to pass out of said recess and lie proximate to and substantially parallel to said building wall, anda multi-position switch secured to the back of said walls, and said switch having actuating buttons projecting into said chamber,whereby one of a plurality of coaxial cables with said wall may be inerchangeably connected to a single coaxial cable within said chamber and furniture may be placed close to said wall without interference from said cable.

Abstract
A flush type wall mounted coaxial connector assembly is provided for interconnection of coaxial cables. The assembly uses a recessed wall plate having at least one internal side which is at an obtuse angle to the surface and carrying a coaxial cable connector. As a result, the cable interconnection will be behind the wall surface and the extending coaxial cable will run substantially parallel to the wall surface and not intrude excessively into the room.

2. A flush type, wall mounted, connector assembly for interconnection of coaxial cables, for devices such as small office computers, with coaxial cables within structural walls, said assembly including
a wall plate having an outer surface and an inwardly recessed chamber for receiving and interconnecting said coaxial cables, said recessed chamber including side and back walls and a coaxial connector on one of said side or back walls, said side and back walls defining a space adequate to hold said coaxial connector entirely within said chamber and to permit finger access for rotatably attaching a coaxial cable to a said coaxial connector on one of said side or back walls, a multi-positioned switch secured to one of said walls to interconnect a coaxial connector with coaxial cables within the structural walls, and said switch having actuating buttons projecting into said chamber, and means for mounting said assembly in a wall opening, whereby an external coaxial cable may be connected and disconnected within said wall assembly.
