Abstract

Abstract An improved structure for the connector of a coaxial cable ensures that there are multiple contact points between the contact component and the central wire of the coaxial cable. The connector has holes on the top and bottom of the two ends of the contact component. The material of the holes is punched inward but is not removed from the tube forming the contact component such that a pair of inclined planes extend toward the interior of each end of the tube. One pair of insulation components which slip on the inside of the connector body join with one end of the contact component to fix and to support the contact component in order to increase the quality of transmission. The connector can be used in a specific range of central wire for cable that allows larger current flows, therefore being suitable for use in a combination of TV and telephone as well as with the current cable TV system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A connector for a coaxial cable comprising: a connector body with a channel therein, a pair of cylindrical insulation components that cover an interior of said connector body, each said insulation component includes a socket in an outer end thereof, a tubular contact component with a plurality of holes punched inward such that one end of material punched inward remains connected to said contact component, thereby forming an inclined plane and a cambered surface; such that pairs of said inclined planes and said cambered surfaces form at least one partially closed opening to receive a central wire of the coaxial cable, said opening is circular in shape and provides a planar contact surface for said central wire.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A connector for a coaxial cable comprising: a connector body with a channel therein, a pair of cylindrical insulation components that cover an interior of said connector body, each said insulation component includes a socket in an outer end thereof, a tubular contact component with a plurality of holes punched inward such that one end of material punched inward remains connected to said contact component, thereby forming an inclined plane and a cambered surface; such that pairs of said inclined planes and said cambered surfaces form at least one partially closed opening to receive a central wire of the coaxial cable, said opening is circular in shape and provides a planar contact surface for said central wire.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The connector as claimed in claim 1 wherein: ends of said contact component are circular.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
The connector as claimed in claim 1 wherein: ends of said contact component are flat on two opposing sides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
The connector as claimed in claim 1 wherein: one end of said connector body includes a pin.
