8 Claims. (Cl. 174-88) The present invention relates to electrical cable connectors, and more specifically, to connectors that are particularly adapted for use with coaxial-line cables and the like.
As described in my copending application, Serial No. 574,906, tiled March 29, 1956, for Transmission-Line Connector, it is frequently important to provide a transmission-line connector that can be quickly and reliably applied to or removed from the line, preferably Without the necessity for solder joints or other time-consuming connecting structures. While the said copending application discloses apparatus particularly suited for such purposes as providing male and female coaxial connectors, it is important to provide, also, for other types of connection, such as splice-connections between two sections of coaxial cable.
lt is with this last problem that the present invention is primarily concerned, though an object of the invention is to provide -a novel connector of more general utility, as well.
A further object is to provide -a new and improved solderless connector wherein, in summary, the use of a single appropriate conductive body for receiving and aligning the transmissioneline cable and one or more staples may effect rapid, reliable and inexpensive solderless connection.
Other and further objects will be explained hereinafter and will be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims:
The invention will now be described in connection with the accompanying drawing, Fig. l of which is a perspective view of a preferred splice-connector constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Figs. 2 and 3 are fragmentary transverse and longitudinal sections, respectively, taken along the lines 2 2 and 3)*3 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows; and
Figs. 4 through 7 are views similar to Fig. 3 of modifications.
A pair of coaxial transmission-line cable sections A and B are shown in Fig. 1 each having innerconductors El', outer coaxial sheath, braid or other conductors 3, 3 separated therefrom by cylindrical polyethelene or other insulation spacers 5, 5'; and an outer Vinyl or other insulation covering 7, 7. The cable sections Aand B are shown received within openings 9, 9 at opposite ends of a generally cylindrical conductive body ll, which openings are preferably only sufficiently large to receive the cables A and B snugly, in order to align the same without appreciable play. It has been found that in such cables as, for example, type RG59U andthe like, an extension of the inner cable conductors l or l', respectively, may be inserted between the inner surface of the insulation 5 or 5 land the inner conductor l. or 1 of the other cable section, alongside and in contact with the inner conductor ll or l', as more particularly shown at 2 and 2 in Fig. 3. This solderless connection or engagement of the inner conductors 1 and 1 may be effected with the body il pushed back along one only of the cable sections A or B, after which the body 11 may be slid ove1 the connection, as illustrated in Fig. l.
Electrical connection between the outer and usually grounded conductors 5 and 5' of the cable sections A and B is effected, in accordance with the present invention, with the aid of staples or hasps 13 preferably U-shaped and of square cross-section, though other configurations may also be employed, as later explained. The arms 15 of the staples 13 are preferably pointed at their free ends and are separated or transversely spaced apart a distance greater than the diameter of the inner cable conductor 1 or i and less than the outer diameter of the coaxially disposed outer conductor 3 or 3 for a reason also later evident. The arms 15 of the staples 13 are received within correspondingly spaced pairs of apertures 17 on the surface of the body 1l, on opposite sides of the spliced cables A and B. Since the cable sections are held aligned Within the body 1l, the arms 15 of the staples 13 will symmetrically penetrate the outer conductors 3 and 3', as more particularly illustrated in Fig. 2, preferably embedding in the outer covering '7 at the bottom thereof. lf the arms l5 have at least portions of cross-dimension slightly larger than that of the openings i7, as when the openings i7' are substantially circular and the staple arms l5 are of appropriately dimensioned square cross-section, the arms l5 will bite into the material of the body il bounding the apertures i7 and lock therein as the staples i3 are inserted. Not only will excellent electrical con nection be thus simply and rapidly established between the outer conductors 3 and 3 of the cable sections A and B, but `a balanced and strong mechanical junction Will also be established.
For splicing cables of different diameter, such as A and B in Fig. 4, the conductive body may be formed in correspondingly shaped portions lll and 1l. The connector of Fig. 4 may be useful, for example, when splicing types RGllU and RG59U cable sections A' and B, respectively. Where an inner conductor extension 2 is not sufhciently rigid or otherwise appropriately adapted, moreover, a separate inner-conductor tapered connector plug may be provided, as at 20, Fig. 5, for insertion into the inner conductors l, i' of the cable sections A', B. This is of particular utility with type RGl 1U cables having multi-stranded inner conductors ll, 1.
The same connection construction may also be applied to other types of connections such as, for example, the terminating of a cable with an appropriate impedance R. The body lll. again receives the stapled cable A within the opening 9", Fig. 6, and the terminating-impedance R is received within a recess 25. The impedance R may be connected by inserting the terminal lead 22 thereof adjacent the cable inner conductor i, as before described, and wedging the other terminal lead 24 by a conductive pin 26 inserted within a transverse `aperture 28 in the body il that communicates with the interior recess 25.
ln Fig. 7, furthermore, a female connector may be pro vided, by inserting the extension 2 of the inner conductor l of the cable B through apertured transverse insulating spacers Sti, 32, as of Bakelite or the like. The spacers Bti and 32 may be held within the body 1li by dimples 27 therein, and the spacer 32 may support a contact cylinder il@ to which the inner conductor extension 2 may be connected in any desired manner. Again, as in the case of the other embodiments of the invention, the staple 13 secures the cable section B that is inserted within the body il.
Further modiiications will occur to those skilled in the art and all such vare considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
