Abstract The present connector device provides a somewhat elongated element having an internally threaded surface and having at least one end thereof chamfered. The connector device can be further formed, or may include means, to be secured to a fixed member. In one embodiment, the elongated element has located in the end opposite from the chamfered end an insert of electrically insulating material, and in the center of this insert is disposed an electrically conducting member. The elongated member in combination with its end piece is so designed that it is selfthreading on the outer jacket of a cable with which it is engaged. When employed with a coaxial cable it includes an electrically conducting threaded surface and is designed to come in electrical contact with the inner shield of the coaxial cable. In addition, in this last mentioned embodiment the present device makes further electrical contact between the center conductor of the coaxial cable and the centrally disposed conducting member of the end piece.
A cable connector holding a cable comprising in combination: a cable means, a hollow elongated element having an inside surface and an outside surface and having first and second open ends; said inside surface being formed into a cutting edge threaded pattern wherein the major diameter of said threaded pattern is smaller than the outside diameter of said cable whereby when said hollow elongated member is threaded onto said cable there results a self-threading action to threadably engage said hollow elongated member with said cable, said first end of said hollow elongated member being formed in a chamfered configuration, said cable being a coaxial cable having a shield and a middle conductor and wherein there is further included an end piece of electrically insulating material formed to fit into said second open end of said hollow elongated member, and wherein there is further included an electrical conducting member disposed in said end piece and further disposed to protrude toward said first open end so that when said coaxial cable is held in said hollow elongated member said middle conductor comes in contact with said electrical conducting member, said end piece having a recess formed therein which recess is disposed to open within said hollow elongated element and toward said first end and wherein said electrical conducting member protrudes into said recess.
