Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A resonator device, comprising; an electrically conductive mounting member; at least one axially extending dielectric coaxial resonator having an electrically open axial end and an opposite end axially opposite said electrically open end, including a dielectric member formed with an axially extending bore, an inner conductor member formed on a radial periphery of said bore, and an outer conductor member formed on a radially outer periphery of said dielectric member; means, including an elastic member located between said dielectric coaxial resonator and said mounting member, for securing said dielectric coaxial resonator to said mounting member only elastically, through said elastic member and electrically pressing said dielectric coaxial resonator into electrical contact with said mounting member; and an elastic piece interposed between said opposite end of said dielectric coaxial resonator and said mounting member; said mounting member being formed with a stopper projection contacting said electrically open end of said dielectric coaxial resonator; said dielectric coaxial resonator being secured between said elastic piece and said stopper projection so as to be prevented from being displaced axially.
