Problems solved by technology

[0007] One problem with existing coaxial connectors is that they often do not adequately grip shielded coaxial cables, especially smaller diameter coaxial cables
Also, with smaller diameter cables, it becomes difficult to seal the interior of the connector from the exterior

Embodiment Construction

[0030] see figure 1 , which shows a coaxial connector 30 according to the present invention. Connector 30 has a housing 32 (sometimes referred to as a "connector body" or "sleeve") with a first end 34 and a sleeve 40 that receives a shielded coaxial cable. Located at the opposite end from the first end 34 is a second end 38 having a twistlock arrangement 31 for connecting the connector 30 with a desired mating arrangement (not shown). Connector 30 is shown as a fully assembled and compact structure. Housing 32 and sleeve 40 may have a cylindrical shape.

[0031] exist figure 1 and 3 A typical coaxial shielded cable 10 is shown in . The coaxial shielded cable 10 has a center conductor 12 surrounded by an insulating layer 14 . The insulating layer 14 is covered by a foil 16 and a metal braid 18 . The braid 18 is then covered by an outer layer 20, which may be plastic or other insulating material.

[0032] To prepare the shielded coaxial cable 10 for use with the connecto...

Abstract

A coaxial cable connector including a connector body having a rearward sleeve receiving end and an inner engagement surface and an axially movable locking sleeve seated in the rearward sleeve receiving end of the connector body is disclosed. The locking sleeve has a rearward cable receiving end and an opposite forward connector insertion end. The forward connector insertion end is formed with at least one flexible finger for gripping a cable inserted in the sleeve when the locking sleeve is moved from a first position to a second position.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 60 / 660653, filed March 11,2005. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to connectors for terminating coaxial cables, and more particularly to coaxial cable connectors having a cable gripping member. Background technique [0004] It has long been known to use connectors to terminate coaxial cables to connect the cables to various electronic devices such as televisions, radios, etc. The coaxial connector of prior art generally comprises: a connector main body, and it has an annular bushing that is used to accommodate coaxial cable; A nut, it is rotatably connected with bushing, provides connector and an external device mechanical connection; and an annular rod inserted between the bushing and the nut. A resilient O-ring may also be placed at the rotatable joint between the sleeve and nut to provide a watertight seal there. The sle...
