Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A connection between adjacent ends of coaxial cables electrically connecting conductors thereof, each of said cable ends having a central conductor, a dielectric surrounding said centRal conductor, a cylindrical outer conductor surrounding said dielectric and coaxial with said central conductor, said connection comprising an electrical conducting bush connecting the ends of the central conductors, an envelope of electrically insulating material enveloping said bush, hollow cylinders supported at both ends of said envelope made of the same material as said envelope receiving said cable dielectrics, said envelope having a wall thickness equal to the difference in thickness of the ends of the insulating envelope and the adjacent cable dielectric, shell shaped connection pieces of electrically conducting material having inwardly projecting parts connected between said cylindrical outer conductors of said cable ends and overlapping the ends of said outer conductors, and clamping means for securely connecting said shell-shaped pieces to the cylindrical outer conductors of each cable so as to insure secure electrical and mechanical connection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A connection between adjacent ends of coaxial cables electrically connecting conductors thereof, each of said cable ends having a central conductor, a dielectric surrounding said centRal conductor, a cylindrical outer conductor surrounding said dielectric and coaxial with said central conductor, said connection comprising an electrical conducting bush connecting the ends of the central conductors, an envelope of electrically insulating material enveloping said bush, hollow cylinders supported at both ends of said envelope made of the same material as said envelope receiving said cable dielectrics, said envelope having a wall thickness equal to the difference in thickness of the ends of the insulating envelope and the adjacent cable dielectric, shell shaped connection pieces of electrically conducting material having inwardly projecting parts connected between said cylindrical outer conductors of said cable ends and overlapping the ends of said outer conductors, and clamping means for securely connecting said shell-shaped pieces to the cylindrical outer conductors of each cable so as to insure secure electrical and mechanical connection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The connection according to claim 1 further comprising a viscous moisture repellent material between the hollow cylinders and the cable dielectric enveloped thereby.
