Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
In an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer braided metal shield is held within an annular adaptor having a flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield terminator device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in a plurality of plies from a small diameter end fitted closely around an end portion of the shield closest to the adaptor to a large diameter end fitted around the flange of the adaptor and back again at least once to the small diameter end, b. first circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the small diameter end therof to the shield, and c. a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between said plies and brought out through the sleeve for affixing the sleeve at the large end thereof to the flange of the adaptor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
In an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer braided metal shield is held within an annular adaptor having a flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield terminator device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in a plurality of plies from a small diameter end fitted closely around an end portion of the shield closest to the adaptor to a large diameter end fitted around the flange of the adaptor and back again at least once to the small diameter end, b. first circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the small diameter end therof to the shield, and c. a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between said plies and brought out through the sleeve for affixing the sleeve at the large end thereof to the flange of the adaptor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
148 words
In an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer braided metal shield is held within an annular adaptor having a cylindrical flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield terminator device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in two plies from a small diameter end fitted closely around an end portion of the shield closest to the adaptor to a large diameter end fitted around the flange of the adaptor and back again to the small diameter end, b. tape means affixing the sleeve at the small diameter end thereof to the shield, and c. a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between said plies and brought out through the sleeve for affixing the sleeve at the large end thereof to the flange of the adaptor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
148 words
In an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer braided metal shield is held within an annular adaptor having a cylindrical flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield terminator device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in two plies from a small diameter end fitted closely around an end portion of the shield closest to the adaptor to a large diameter end fitted around the flange of the adaptor and back again to the small diameter end, b. tape means affixing the sleeve at the small diameter end thereof to the shield, and c. a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between said plies and brought out through the sleeve for affixing the sleeve at the large end thereof to the flange of the adaptor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
171 words
For use in an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer metallic shield is held within an adaptor having a flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield termination device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in two plies from a small diameter end adapted to fit around an end portion of the shield adjacent to the adaptor to a large diameter end adapted to fit around the flange of the adaptor and back again to the small diameter end; b. first circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the first diameter end thereof to the shield; and c. second circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the second diameter end thereof to the flange of the adaptor, the second circumferential securing means including a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between the plies with the ends of the draw wire brought out through the braided sleeve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
171 words
For use in an electrical connector assembly wherein a portion of an electrical cable extending beyond a surrounding outer metallic shield is held within an adaptor having a flange portion of greater diameter than and substantially coaxial with said metallic shield, a shield termination device comprising a. a sleeve of metal wires braided in two plies from a small diameter end adapted to fit around an end portion of the shield adjacent to the adaptor to a large diameter end adapted to fit around the flange of the adaptor and back again to the small diameter end; b. first circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the first diameter end thereof to the shield; and c. second circumferential securing means for affixing the sleeve at the second diameter end thereof to the flange of the adaptor, the second circumferential securing means including a draw wire looped around the large diameter end of the sleeve between the plies with the ends of the draw wire brought out through the braided sleeve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A shield termination device according to claim 3 wherein the first circumferential securing means is tape wrapped around the small diameter end of the sleeve.
