Abstract
Abstract A device for pressure sealed connection of the outer conductor of a coaxial line to a connector or the like includes a screw cap which presses the flanged end section of the outer conductor via an intermediate element against an annular contact surface of a plug socket of the connector. Arranged in the contact plane as defined by the annular contact surface between the end section of the outer conductor and the plug socket is an O-ring which thus is accommodated within the HF-space.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for pressure sealed connection of the outer conductor of a coaxial line to a connector or the like, comprising: a screw cap forcing one end section of the outer conductor toward an annular contacting surface of a plug socket of the connector; an intermediate element arranged between said screw cap and the outer conductor, said screw cap acting on said one end section via said intermediate element; a support insulator surrounded by said plug socket; and a sealing ring arranged between said support insulator and said plug socket within the HF-space in a plane defined by said contacting surface, said sealing ring being contacted by said one end section of the outer conductor along a ring area which is of a diameter smaller than the diameter of said annular contacting surface wherein said one end section of the outer conductor is radially flanged outwardly, said plug socket being provided with an inner collar whose inner circumference defines with said support insulator an axially open annular groove in which said sealing ring is accommodated.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
175 words
A device for pressure sealed connection of the outer conductor of a coaxial line to a connector or the like, comprising: a screw cap forcing one end section of the outer conductor toward an annular contacting surface of a plug socket of the connector; an intermediate element arranged between said screw cap and the outer conductor, said screw cap acting on said one end section via said intermediate element; a support insulator surrounded by said plug socket; and a sealing ring arranged between said support insulator and said plug socket within the HF-space in a plane defined by said contacting surface, said sealing ring being contacted by said one end section of the outer conductor along a ring area which is of a diameter smaller than the diameter of said annular contacting surface wherein said one end section of the outer conductor is radially flanged outwardly, said plug socket being provided with an inner collar whose inner circumference defines with said support insulator an axially open annular groove in which said sealing ring is accommodated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device as defined in claim 1 for a coaxial line whose outer conductor is of corrugated pipe type wherein said intermediate element is a corrugated pipe nut.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as defined in claim 1 for a coaxial line with a smooth outer conductor wherein said intermediate element is a thrust collar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device as defined in claim 1 wherein said support insulator is provided with a centering shoulder for the outer conductor, said centering shoulder defining with said circumference of said plug socket said annular groove and being provided with a radial turned groove for receiving said sealing ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A device as defined in claim 4 for a coaxial line whose outer conductor is of corrugated pipe type wherein said centering shoulder projects into the outer conductor by a certain length along which the outer conductor is straightened to form a hollow cylinder.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
213 words
A device for pressure sealed connection of a smooth outer conductor of a coaxial line to a connector or the like, comprising: a screw cap forcing one end section of the outer conductor toward an annular contacting surface of a plug socket of the connector; an intermediate element arranged between said screw cap and the outer conductor, said screw cap acting on said one end section via said intermediate element; a support insulator surrounded by said plug socket; and a sealing ring arranged between said support insulator and said plug socket within the HF-space in a plane defined by said contacting surface, said sealing ring being contacted by said one end section of the outer conductor along a ring area which is of a diameter smaller than the diameter of said annular contacting surface wherein said one end section of the outer conductor is of conical shape and said plug socket is provided with an inner collar having one mating conical surface defining said annular contact surface, said intermediate element being a clamping cone pressing said one end section against said inner collar along said contact surface, said support insulator including a centering shoulder for the outer conductor whose outer surface is provided with a radial turned groove for receiving said sealing ring.
