Abstract
Abstract Device or tool for mounting BNC connectors on the wall of a chassis or housing includes a handle on a shaft for rotating a driver element which is configured to mate with and engage a BNC connector to be mounted. By using different driver elements, male BNC connectors or other similar electronic (R.F.) connectors can be mounted on a housing or chassis without damaging internal components.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
Device for mounting one of a pair of mating electronic connectors on one side of a mounting wall, the connector to be mounted having a mating portion engageable by the other of the pair of mating connectors and positionable on said one side of said mounting wall, and having a mounting portion positionable on the other side of said mounting wall for mounting on said mounting wall upon application of a torque on said mating portion relative to said mounting portion, said device comprising shaft means; handle means provided on said shaft means for facilitating manual gripping thereof; and driver means provided at one end of said shaft means, said driver means having a configuration of a male BNC connector to permit engagement with and mounting of a female BNC connector, and whereby engagement between said driver means and the female BNC connector to be mounted permits application of the necessary torque thereon and facilitates the mounting of the female BNC connector on the mounting wall without deformation or damage thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
Device for mounting one of a pair of mating electronic connectors on one side of a mounting wall, the connector to be mounted having a mating portion engageable by the other of the pair of mating connectors and positionable on said one side of said mounting wall, and having a mounting portion positionable on the other side of said mounting wall for mounting on said mounting wall upon application of a torque on said mating portion relative to said mounting portion, said device comprising shaft means; handle means provided on said shaft means for facilitating manual gripping thereof; and driver means provided at one end of said shaft means, said driver means having a configuration of a male BNC connector to permit engagement with and mounting of a female BNC connector, and whereby engagement between said driver means and the female BNC connector to be mounted permits application of the necessary torque thereon and facilitates the mounting of the female BNC connector on the mounting wall without deformation or damage thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
Device as defined in claim 1, wherein said handle means comprises a cross-member to form a T-shaped handle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
230 words
Device for mounting one of a pair of mating electronic connectors on one side of a mounting wall, the connector to be mounted having a mating portion engageable by the other of the pair of mating connectors and positionable on said one side of said mounting wall, and having a mounting portion positionable on the other side of said mounting wall for mounting on said mounting wall upon application of a torque on said mating portion relative to said mounting portion, said device comprising shaft means; handle means provided on said shaft means for facilitating manual gripping thereof; driver means provided at one end of said shaft means, said driver means being shaped to correspond to the other of the pair of mating connectors to permit mating engagement between said driver means and the electronic connector to be mounted, whereby engagement between said driver means and the electronic connector to be mounted permits application of the necessary torque thereon and facilitates the mounting of the connector on the mounting wall without deformation or damage thereto, and further comprising additional driver means at the other end of said shaft means, said additional driver means being shaped to correspond to said one of the pair of mating connectors, whereby the device is capable of mounting either one of a pair of electronic connectors by engagement with the correspondingly shaped mating driver means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
230 words
Device for mounting one of a pair of mating electronic connectors on one side of a mounting wall, the connector to be mounted having a mating portion engageable by the other of the pair of mating connectors and positionable on said one side of said mounting wall, and having a mounting portion positionable on the other side of said mounting wall for mounting on said mounting wall upon application of a torque on said mating portion relative to said mounting portion, said device comprising shaft means; handle means provided on said shaft means for facilitating manual gripping thereof; driver means provided at one end of said shaft means, said driver means being shaped to correspond to the other of the pair of mating connectors to permit mating engagement between said driver means and the electronic connector to be mounted, whereby engagement between said driver means and the electronic connector to be mounted permits application of the necessary torque thereon and facilitates the mounting of the connector on the mounting wall without deformation or damage thereto, and further comprising additional driver means at the other end of said shaft means, said additional driver means being shaped to correspond to said one of the pair of mating connectors, whereby the device is capable of mounting either one of a pair of electronic connectors by engagement with the correspondingly shaped mating driver means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
