Coaxial cable connector
First Claim
1. A coaxial cable connector for establishing a nonlinear connection between a female-type electrical receptacle and a coaxial cable having a male pin-type end connector, comprising:
- a body defining an internal cavity therein, the cavity defining a longitudinal axis, the body having first and second passages which extend thereinto and open into the cavity, at least the first passage defining an axis which is angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the cavity, the first passage being structured and arranged to receive a pin of the male pin-type end connector; and
an elongate conductor mounted in the cavity and extending longitudinally therein, the conductor having a pin-receiving hole extending generally transversely into a first portion thereof, the pin-receiving hole being aligned with the first passage and being structured and arranged to receive the pin of the male pin-type end connector, the conductor having a second portion which extends through the second passage and projects beyond from the body in the longitudinal axis, the second portion defining an end in the form of a pin adapted to be received by the female-type electrical receptacle, and the conductor extending in one-piece construction from the pin-receiving hole to the end of the conductor.

Abstract
A connector for making a non-linear connection between a female-type electrical receptacle and a coaxial cable having a male pin-type end connector includes a body defining an internal cavity therein and defining first and second passages that extend into the cavity. The cavity is elongate and defines a longitudinal axis along which an elongate conductor is disposed in the cavity, the conductor having a pin-receiving hole aligned with the first passage such that a pin-type end connector inserted into the first passage can engage the hole in the conductor. The conductor has a portion that extends through the second passage and projects out from the body and defines a pin for insertion into a female-type receptacle.

7. A connector for establishing a nonlinear connection between two electrical devices each having a male pin-type end connector, comprising:
-
a body defining an internal cavity therein, the cavity defining a longitudinal axis, the body having first and second passages which extend thereinto and open into the cavity, each of the first and second passages defining an axis which is angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the cavity and each passage being structured and arranged to receive a pin of one of the male pin-type end connectors; and an elongate conductor mounted in the cavity and extending longitudinally therein, the conductor having first and second spaced-apart pin-receiving holes extending generally transversely into the conductor, the conductor being mounted with the first and second pin-receiving holes aligned with the first and second passages, respectively, such that the pin-receiving holes frictionally receive the pins of the male pin-type end connectors when said pins are inserted into the first and second passages. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
