Compression type coaxial cable connector
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A coaxial cable connector comprising:
- a cylindrical casing has a first end for receiving a coaxial cable and a second end that receives a core tube;
the core tube engages a first fastener operable to fasten the connector to a mating second fastener;
a shell has first and second open ends;
in a first configuration before a coaxial cable is fixed to the connector, the casing extends through the shell;
the casing and the shell are dimensioned such that the shell is operative to radially press and radially deform the casing when the shell is moved from its position in the first configuration toward the casing first end; and
,the deformed casing is operative to pinch portions of a coaxial cable located between the cylindrical casing and the core tube.

6. A coaxial cable connector comprising:
-
a cylindrical casing has a first end for receiving a coaxial cable and a second end receiving a core tube; the core tube is coupled to a fastener; a shell is located in an initial position between the first and second ends of the cylindrical casing; the shell slidably engages the cylindrical casing; movement of the shell from the initial position toward the cylindrical casing first end is operable to radially compress a deformable portion of the cylindrical casing; and
,the deformed cylindrical casing is operable to fix portions of a coaxial cable passing between the cylindrical casing and the core tube. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A method of making a coaxial cable connector comprising the steps of:
-
providing a cylindrical casing having a deformation region located between non-deformable opposed ends of the casing; slidably engaging a shell with the casing between the casing opposed ends; and
,dimensioning the casing and the shell such that movement of the shell over the deformation region is operable to fix portions of a coaxial cable passing between the casing and a core tube. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
