Abstract
Abstract A coaxial coupling member is integrally connected to a wall plate detachably connected to a wall bracket in turn connected to the room wall across an opening in the wall. The bracket connection to the wall and the wall plate is along the axial center while the center of the bracket is displaced from the center by being arcuate. The coupling member may have a conductor sleeve through the center and external threads for both ends for connection to a coupling nut on radio and antenna cables or the antenna end of the coupling member may be permanently connected to the antenna cable by the conductor of the cable being soldered to the conductor sleeve and the braid on the cable being connected to the coupling member by a terminal having an eye on the antenna end of the coupling member and the braid being received in a sleeve lug on the terminal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A radio-antenna wall plate assembly for coaxial cable comprising, a cover wall plate for the room side of a wall opening, a wall bracket for connecting the wall plate to a room wall, and a coupling member integrally connected to said wall plate and having opposite ends on opposite sides of said plate for interconnecting radio and antenna cables.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A radio-antenna wall plate assembly for coaxial cable comprising, a cover wall plate for the room side of a wall opening, a wall bracket for connecting the wall plate to a room wall, and a coupling member integrally connected to said wall plate and having opposite ends on opposite sides of said plate for interconnecting radio and antenna cables.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said wall bracket is adapted to extend across a wall opening and be secured to said room wall by bolt means and screw means connecting said wall plate to said wall bracket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The structure of claim 2 wherein said wall bracket includes screw openings for said screw means positioned inwardly of said bolt means and adapted to be in alignment with a wall opening.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
76 words
The structure of claim 3 wherein said wall bracket is arcuate along its length and adapted to extend to one side of the center of a wall opening thereby providing access to said coupling member positioned at the center of said axial opening, and said wall bracket opposite ends are adapted to be connected to said room wall and said wall plate along a line extending through the center of said plate and a wall opening.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said coupling member is positioned in a hole in said wall plate and nut means on said member clamps said wall plate therebetween.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein the opposite ends of said coupling member are externally threaded and include a coaxial conductor sleeve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein the end of said coupling member on the room side of said wall plate is externally threaded and includes a coaxial conductor sleeve, and the wall side of said coupling member includes an axial conductor sleeve and a terminal having a sleeve and an eye is positioned with said eye on said other end of said coupling member and locked against relative movement by a nut means thereby providing an electrical ground connection for an antenna cable wherein the braid on the cable is adapted to be connected to said terminal sleeve.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
The structure of claim 7 wherein the one end of said coupling member is larger in diameter than the other end and an opening through said wall plate whereby an annular shoulder is formed at the juncture of said coupling member end portions and said shoulder is in engagement with the room side of said wall plate.
