Definitions
- the present invention relates to connection for and in coaxial cables, particularly of the variety used in communication engineering and more particularly for the transmission of digital-signals.
- the individual transmission lines in the cable are comprised of coaxial conductor pairs having an inner conductor and a tubular outer conductor supported on the inner conductor by means of a dielectrioThe interconnection of such conductor pairs is to be improved in accordance with this invention.
- connection of the conductor pairsin such cables poses significant problems.
- cables for thetransmission of digital signals often have an inner conductor of'about 0.6 mm (about 25 mils) diameter-and an outer conductor of 2mm (about 80 mils).
- Soldering of connector splices is usually not possible, as the heat'destroys the dielectric.
- the small dimensions make it impossible to solder the inner conductor and still maintain the distance between the inner and outer conductor.
- Solder free connection has been constructed by using a plug-in type configura- DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION.
- the outer conductors of two coaxial conductor pairs to be interconnected are connected through interpositioning of a sleeve, A shrinkable hose is placed over sleeve and the two adjoining end portions of the two outer conductor tubes, whereby the shrinkable hose urges solder rings against the joints between sleeve and tubes. Upon application of heat, the solder bonds and interconnects sleeve and tubes, without endangering the structure of the tubes.
- the inner conductors are separately interconnected whereby a similar arrangement can be provided, but simpler connection may suffice here.
- the shrinkable hose is preferably made of polyethylene, polyvinylchloride or polychloroprene.
- FIG. 1 illustrates section view through a connection ample of the present invention
- FIG. la is a section along lines la-la in FIG. 1;
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show modifications of details in FIG.
- FIG. 4 is a section view of another example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the outer conductors 1 and 2 are solid tubes.
- the outer conductors 1 and 2 are interconnected by means of a sleeve 7 made of two halves 7a and 7b (See FIG. 1a). Portions of the insulative carriers 3 and 4 have been cut off and replaced by two insulative support elements 8 and 9 respectively slipped on inner conductors 5 and 6. These insulative pieces 8 and 9 are partially inserted into tubes 1 and 2 respectively, but they project from the tubes so that sleeve 7 can be mounted on and supported by elements 8 and 9. Elements 8 and 9 are made from heat resisting plastic such as polytetrafluorethylene.
- a shrinkable hose 10 is slipped over the entire assembly, including the end portions of tubes 1 and 2.
- solder rings 11 and 12 are provided on the inside of hose 10 and having position on the respective axial joints of sleeve 7 and tubes 1 and 2; Now the hose is heated from the outside, so that the solder establishes I a metallic bond with sleeve 7 and tubes 1 and 2. Also,
- the two inner conductors 5 and 6 may have been interconnected previously as follows.
- a small metal sleeve 17 is slipped over the ends of the two conductors 5 and 6.
- the sleeve 17 has two slots 18 and I9, and solder elements 13 and '14 project therethrough. These solder'elements 13 and 14 are provided on the inside of another shrinkable hose 12 which 'is slipped over sleeve 17.
- the hose 12 has been heated from the outside to soften the solder for establishing metallic bond with the sleeve solder and conductors.
- solder rings could be provided to be effective between the axial ends of sleeve 17 and conductors Sand 6.
- conductors 5 and-6 cansimply be made to overlap.
- a single solder ring is provided inside of hose 12 for joining the conductors.
- Sleeve 17 has been omitted in this case.
- FIG. 4 inner and outer conductors are provided as before, the dielectric support structures 3' and 4' are also provided here, but having different configuration. That, however, is not material for this example of the preferred embodiment of the invention. It merely shows that a solid insulative carrier of this type can be used directly, and does not have to be replaced by pieces such as 8 and 9 in FIG. 1.
- the inner conductors 5 and 6 are directly interconnected by a metal sleeve 28 having oppositely oriented the heat shrinking hose provides a waterproof cover for 3 threads at its'two ends for threadingly receiving conductors Sand 6. Threadings are actually out into the conductors by the threading process and that suffices for both, mechanically and electrically connecting the two conductors.
- connection of the inner conductors could be used in the configurations of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, as far as showing an interconnection of outer conductors.
- connection as in claim 1 the means including a second metal sleeve receiving the ends of the inner conductors, and a second shrinkable hose slipped over and shrunk onto the second sleeve.
- connection as in claim 1 the means including a direct solder bond between the two inner conductors and a second shrinkable hose shrunk onto the inner conductors as interconnected by the solder bond.
- connection as in claim 1, the means including an internally threaded sleeve, the inner conductors being threaded into said threaded sleeve.
