Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a coaxial high frequency plug connector which consists of a coupler and a plug in which the coupler is provided with external screw threads and bayonet paths which intersect the screw threads and the plug is provided with either corresponding internal threads or corresponding interlocking bayonet projections for the bayonet paths. By this means, alternate methods of connection may be utilized using the screw thread portions for interengagement by screw threading and using the bayonet projections and bayonet paths for interengagement by bayonet type mounting.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A coaxial HF plug connector including a coupler and a plug, characterized by the fact that the coupler includes a sleeve which is provided with external screw threads and bayonet paths, said bayonet paths extending at least in part through the external screw threads whereby said coupler may accommodate a plug having either internal threads or bayonet projections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
A coaxial HF plug connector including a coupler and a plug, characterized by the fact that the coupler includes a sleeve which is provided with external screw threads and bayonet paths, said bayonet paths extending at least in part through the external screw threads whereby said coupler may accommodate a plug having either internal threads or bayonet projections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A plug connector according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that said bayonet paths extend in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of said connector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
100 words
A plug connector according to claim 2, characterized by the fact that the said bayonet paths each have a section which extends obliquely to the axis of the coupler and which connects with a section which extends peripherally and circumferentially of the coupler which in turn connects with an extension which is an axial detent section extending parallel to the axis of the coupler; said connector having a rear unthreaded portion between an end thereof and said external screw threads; said peripheral and axial detent portion of said bayonet paths being located in said rear unthreaded portion of said connector.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A plug connector according to claim 8 characterized by the fact that the bayonet paths are cut radially deeper than said external screw threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
A plug connector according to claim 4, characterized by the fact that between the external screw threads and the unthreaded section of said coupler there is provided a milling the base of which is closer to the axis of the coupler than the screw threads but closer to the periphery of the coupler than the base of the bayonet paths.
