Bulge-type coaxial cable connector with plastic sleeve
First Claim
1. A cable termination assembly for connecting a cable having an electrically conductive member to another electrically conductive member comprising:
- a connector body having a sleeve member of generally cylindrical configuration, an end of said cable extending concentrically within said sleeve member, and said sleeve member having a raised wall surface portion of enlarged rounded configuration with axially spaced grooves therein; and
a cylindrical compression member having an inner annular surface portion slidable over said sleeve member, said inner annular surface portion engageable with said raised wall surface portion of said sleeve member wherein axial advancement of said compression member along said sleeve member will impart inward radial deformation to said sleeve member and force an internal wall surface portion of said sleeve member into a radially inwardly bowed configuration as it contracts into engagement with an external portion of said cable.

Abstract
A cable termination assembly is made up of one of a plurality of connector bodies each having a thin-walled outer sleeve which may be composed of metal or plastic, the outer sleeve having a raised external wall surface portion which may be of convex or truncated convex configuration with or without depressions or interruptions in its external surface; and, depending on the pull out force required, utilization of a plastic sleeve enabling the use of a crimping ring consisting entirely of a metal ring of substantially uniform diameter with notch portions to engage external protuberances on the outer sleeve of the connector body.

11. A fitting for connecting a cable having an electrically conductive member to another electrically conductive member, said fitting comprising:
-
a thin-walled plastic sleeve member sized for axial insertion of an end of said cable through an entrance end thereof, said sleeve member provided with a raised surface portion at said entrance end of said sleeve member; and a cylindrical compression member having a first inner annular surface portion overlying said entrance end in pre-assembled relation to said sleeve member and a second annular surface portion of substantially uniform diameter in trailing relation to said first annular surface portion wherein axial advancement of said compression member along said sleeve member forces said first inner annular surface portion to move into engagement with said raised surface portion to impart inward radial deformation to said sleeve member into an inwardly bowed configuration and contracted into sealed engagement with said cable. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. In a cable termination assembly for connecting a coaxial cable to a terminal wherein said cable has an outer resilient jacket, inner and outer spaced concentric electrically conductive portions and wherein a connector body has a fastener for connection to said terminal and inner and outer concentric sleeve members having an entrance end with axially spaced sealing ribs on an inner surface of said outer sleeve member adjacent to said fastener and away from said entrance end for insertion of said inner electrically conductive portion within said inner sleeve member and insertion of said outer concentric electrically conductive portion between said inner sleeve member and said outer sleeve member, the improvement comprising:
-
said outer sleeve composed of a compressible plastic material having an enlarged shoulder portion at one end and a generally convex external wall surface portion at an opposite entrance end substantially coextensive with said sealing ribs; and a crimping ring consisting of a metal ring member having an inner surface portion of substantially uniform diameter wherein slidable axial advancement of said crimping ring with respect to said outer sleeve member will impart inward radial deformation to said external convex wall surface portion to force said sealing ribs into inwardly bowed configuration as said ribs are contracted into sealed engagement with an external surface of said cable. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A cable termination assembly for connecting a cable having an electrically conductive member to another electrically conductive member comprising:
-
a connector body having a sleeve member of generally cylindrical configuration, an end of said cable extending concentrically within said sleeve member, and said sleeve member having a raised wall surface portion of generally truncated convex configuration adjacent to an entrance end thereof; and a cylindrical compression member having an inner annular surface portion slidable over said sleeve member, said inner annular surface portion engageable with said raised wall surface portion of said sleeve member wherein axial advancement of said compression member along said sleeve member will impart inward radial deformation to said sleeve member and force an internal wall surface portion of said sleeve member into a radially inwardly bowed configuration as it contracts into engagement with an external portion of said cable.
