Abstract
Abstract A contact device for a cable comprising one or more inner conductors with inner insulating sheath and a common shield with outer insulating sheath, comprises a connection terminal for the shield and a connection element for each inner conductor. Further a guiding element and a stop element are provided for each inner conductor. The guiding element directs the corresponding inner conductor with its insulating sheath at the corresponding stop element in such a manner that during insertion of the cable into the contact device the inner insulating sheath is axially compressed by the stop element by the stop element. Seen from the corresponding guiding element each connection terminal for an inner conductor lies beyond the corresponding stop element. By application of this contact device it is no longer necessary to remove the inner insulating sheath.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A contact device for a cable conductor comprising one or more inner conductors having an inner insulating sheath and a common shield together with an outer insulating sheath, said contact device comprising: a first connection terminal for the shield; a second connection terminal for each inner conductor; a guiding element for each inner insulating sheath; and a stop element for each inner insulating sheath, wherein said guiding element is provided on said first connection terminal and is adapted to direct an end portion of the inner insulating sheath of the inner conductor to engage a corresponding said stop element provided on said second connection terminal, upon insertion of the cable into the contact device, with the inner insulating sheath being axially compressed by the stop element, and, as seen in a cable insertion direction, a portion of the inner conductor is thereby located beyond the corresponding stop element for connection to said second connection terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A contact device for a cable conductor comprising one or more inner conductors having an inner insulating sheath and a common shield together with an outer insulating sheath, said contact device comprising: a first connection terminal for the shield; a second connection terminal for each inner conductor; a guiding element for each inner insulating sheath; and a stop element for each inner insulating sheath, wherein said guiding element is provided on said first connection terminal and is adapted to direct an end portion of the inner insulating sheath of the inner conductor to engage a corresponding said stop element provided on said second connection terminal, upon insertion of the cable into the contact device, with the inner insulating sheath being axially compressed by the stop element, and, as seen in a cable insertion direction, a portion of the inner conductor is thereby located beyond the corresponding stop element for connection to said second connection terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A contact device according to claim 1, characterized in that each stop element is formed by an end edge portion of said second corresponding connection terminal for an inner conductor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A contact device according to claim 1, characterized in that each guiding element is formed by an annular channel member fittingly enclosing the inner conductor within its inner insulating sheath.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A contact device according to claim 3, characterized in that each guiding element is formed of electrically conductive material and is connected to the first connection terminal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A contact device according to claim 4, characterized in that each guiding element extends from said first connection terminal up to adjacent the corresponding second connection terminal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A contact device according to claim 5, characterized in that the first connection terminal is formed by a ring adapted to align the cable with its inner conductor with the guiding element.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
177 words
A contact device for a cable conductor comprising at least one inner conductor and inner insulating sheath and a common shield together with an outer insulating sheath, the contact device comprising: a first connection terminal for the shield; a second connection terminal for each inner conductor; a guiding element for each inner insulating sheath located between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a stop element for each inner insulating sheath located proximate the second terminal, wherein, upon insertion of the cable into the contact device, each of the guiding elements is adapted to direct an end portion of one of the inner insulating sheaths to engage a corresponding one of the stop elements and, upon further movement of the cable towards the stop element, the inner insulating sheath is axially compressed by the stop element, a portion of each of the inner conductors is thereby partially exposed from its inner insulating sheath and located beyond the corresponding stop element for its inner insulating sheath for connection to a corresponding one of the second connection terminals.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
177 words
A contact device for a cable conductor comprising at least one inner conductor and inner insulating sheath and a common shield together with an outer insulating sheath, the contact device comprising: a first connection terminal for the shield; a second connection terminal for each inner conductor; a guiding element for each inner insulating sheath located between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a stop element for each inner insulating sheath located proximate the second terminal, wherein, upon insertion of the cable into the contact device, each of the guiding elements is adapted to direct an end portion of one of the inner insulating sheaths to engage a corresponding one of the stop elements and, upon further movement of the cable towards the stop element, the inner insulating sheath is axially compressed by the stop element, a portion of each of the inner conductors is thereby partially exposed from its inner insulating sheath and located beyond the corresponding stop element for its inner insulating sheath for connection to a corresponding one of the second connection terminals.
