Wall recess cable connector permitting simplified innerconnection and limiting protruding cables

Claim 2

A flush-type, connector assembly for interconnecting coaxial cables of office apparatus with pre-wired, interior wall coaxial cables, said assembly including a wall plate adapted for mounting over an opening in a building wall, and mounting means therefor, said wall plate including one inwardly-extending recessed chamber having top, bottom, side and back walls, with at least one of said top, bottom, or side walls being at an obtuse angle to the plane of said wall plate, a coaxial connector mounted on and through said last-named wall, said connector being adapted to interconnect with coaxial cables on each side of said last-named wall, said obtuse angle being such relative to the dimensions of said chamber and the location of said connector on its said wall as to allow said coaxial cable on the chamber side of said plate to pass out of said recess and lie proximate to and substantially parallel to said building wall, whereby furniture may be placed close to said wall without interference from said cable.

Claim 3

An assembly as set forth in claim 1 and including a plurality of said connectors mounted on and through said wall having said obtuse angle.

Claim 4

A flush type, wall mounted, connector assembly for interconnection of coaxial cables for devices such as small office computers with coaxial cables within structural walls, said assembly including, a wall plate having an outer surface and an inwardly recessed chamber for receiving and interconnecting said coaxial cables, said recessed chamber including sides and a back defining a space adequate to hold a coaxial connector entirely within said chamber and to permit finger access for rotatably attaching a said coaxial cable to a said coaxial connector, a coaxial connector mounted on one of said sides, said mounting side being at an obtuse angle relative to said outer surface, and said angle being such as to permit a connected coaxial cable to pass out of said chamber and be positioned proximate to said outer surface of said wall plate, and means for mounting said assembly in a wall opening, whereby coaxial cables may be readily connected and disconnected within said wall assembly, said connector will not extend beyond said outer surface, and furniture may be placed close to said wall without interference with said cable.

Claim 5

A flush type, wall mounted, connector assembly for interconnection of coaxial cables for devices such as small office computers with coaxial cables within structural walls, said assembly including, a wall plate having an outer surface and an inwardly recessed chamber for receiving and interconnecting said coaxial cables, said recessed chamber including sides and a back defining a space adequate to hold a coaxial connector entirely within said chamber and to permit finger access for rotatably attaching a said coaxial cable to a said coaxial connector, a coaxial connector mounted on one of said sides, said mounting side being at an obtuse angle relative to said outer surface, and said angle being such as to permit a connected coaxial cable to pass out of said chamber and be positioned proximate to said outer surface of said wall plate, and means for mounting said assembly in a wall opening, whereby coaxial cables may be readily connected and disconnected within said wall assembly, said connector will not extend beyond said outer surface, and furniture may be placed close to said wall without interference with said cable.
