Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A non-threadable shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing having generally smooth exterior and interior surfaces for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, and said backshell housing having a rim surrounding said resilient bushing and said coaxial cable, at least a portion of said rim being plastically deformed toward said coaxial cable for retention of said resilient bushing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A non-threadable shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing having generally smooth exterior and interior surfaces for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, and said backshell housing having a rim surrounding said resilient bushing and said coaxial cable, at least a portion of said rim being plastically deformed toward said coaxial cable for retention of said resilient bushing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said resilient bushing comprises one of a monel, nickel and inconel mesh contained in a knitted sock means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said backshell housing comprises a nickel plated aluminium, stainless steel or other conductive shielding.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coaxial cable comprises conductor strands extending into the interior of said backshell housing to a connector housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a sealing member is provided adjacent said resilient bushing for surrounding said coaxial cable within the said rim of said backshell housing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
146 words
A shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, wherein said backshell housing terminates onto a connector housing on one side of said resilient bushing and as a rim portion surrounding said coaxial cable on the other side of said resilient bushing, and wherein said coaxial cable comprises an outer sheath convering turned back on itself within said rim portion of said backshell housing, and a support ring member contained by said back-turned portion of said cable.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
146 words
A shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, wherein said backshell housing terminates onto a connector housing on one side of said resilient bushing and as a rim portion surrounding said coaxial cable on the other side of said resilient bushing, and wherein said coaxial cable comprises an outer sheath convering turned back on itself within said rim portion of said backshell housing, and a support ring member contained by said back-turned portion of said cable.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
147 words
A shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, wherein said backshell housing terminates onto a connector housing on one side of said resilient bushing and as a rim portion surrounding said coaxial cable on the other side of said resilient bushing, and wherein said coaxial cable comprises an outer sheath covering having a convoluted surface, and one of the convolutions of said convoluted surface containing a support ring member within said rim portion of said backshell housing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
147 words
A shield terminal connector apparatus for eliminating EMI leakage comprising, at least one coaxial cable having an exposed shield portion, a generally tubular backshell housing for containing said shield portion, a resilient bushing of conductive material contiguously surrounding said shield portion and radially extending to the interior surface of said backshell housing, whereby the space between the shield portion of said cable and the adjacent interior surface of said backshell housing is completely filled by said resilient bushing, wherein said backshell housing terminates onto a connector housing on one side of said resilient bushing and as a rim portion surrounding said coaxial cable on the other side of said resilient bushing, and wherein said coaxial cable comprises an outer sheath covering having a convoluted surface, and one of the convolutions of said convoluted surface containing a support ring member within said rim portion of said backshell housing.
