Abstract
Abstract A coaxial cable connector including a main body containing a contact member and two insulating members fitted with the contact member, with each insulating member composed of an insulating sleeve, a resilient member and an insulating cap. The stretching ability of a cable conductor inserted into the contact portion of the contact member is limited by the resilient member and an extra resilient compressing force is exerted on the contact surface to provide improved contacting effect with coaxial cables having conductors of different diameters.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
233 words
A coaxial cable connector comprising: a main body formed with inner passage; a contact member received in said main body, having a symmetrical structure, a pair of projecting wings being formed on a middle section of said contact member, four slots being formed on each sleeve-like end of said contact member, said slots dividing said sleeve-like end of said contact member into four contacting portions, an inward projecting section being formed near a tail end of each contact portion; an insulating member fitted with said contact member, said insulating member being composed of an insulating sleeve, a resilient member and an insulating cap, wherein said insulating sleeve is a three-stage hollow cylindric member, and said resilient member is made of silicone material and is sleeve-shaped, a central axial through hole being formed on said resilient member, said insulating cap being a two-stage hollow cylindric member and formed with a central axial opening, an inner flange being formed on inner side of said opening, whereby said resilient member is placed into said insulating cap with one side of said resilient member abutting against said inner flange, and then the assembled insulating cap and resilient member are placed into a larger diameter end of said insulating sleeve in such a manner that a smaller diameter end of said insulating cap is placed into said larger diameter end of said insulating sleeve to form a combination.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A coaxial cable connector comprising: a main body formed with inner passage; a contact member received in said main body, having a symmetrical structure, a pair of projecting wings being formed on a middle section of said contact member, four slots being formed on each sleeve-like end of said contact member, said slots dividing said sleeve-like end of said contact member into four contacting portions, an inward projecting section being formed near a tail end of each contact portion; an insulating member fitted with said contact member, said insulating member being composed of an insulating sleeve, a resilient member and an insulating cap, wherein said insulating sleeve is a three-stage hollow cylindric member, and said resilient member is made of silicone material and is sleeve-shaped, a central axial through hole being formed on said resilient member, said insulating cap being a two-stage hollow cylindric member and formed with a central axial opening, an inner flange being formed on inner side of said opening, whereby said resilient member is placed into said insulating cap with one side of said resilient member abutting against said inner flange, and then the assembled insulating cap and resilient member are placed into a larger diameter end of said insulating sleeve in such a manner that a smaller diameter end of said insulating cap is placed into said larger diameter end of said insulating sleeve to form a combination.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said main body is a one-side member and a connecting pin member extends from one side of said projecting wing of said contact member, and an insulating filling member plugging said inner passage of said main body for fixing said insulating member at a central position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
107 words
A connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said insulating member includes an insulating sleeve and a resilient member, wherein said resilient member is made of silicone and has a two-stage shape, an axial hole being formed at one end of said resilient member for inserting one end of said contact member thereinto, an opening being formed at the other end of said resilient member, said opening having a conic bottom which is slightly separated from said axial hole, whereby when the cable conductor is inserted into said opening, the cable conductor stabs through said conic bottom and extends into said contact portions of said contact member.
