20150295331 | COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE AND GROUNDING SHIELD - A coaxial cable connector for coupling a coaxial cable to an equipment port is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector comprises a tubular post, a coupler and a body. The coupler has a first end rotatably secured over the second end of the tubular post, and an opposing second end. The coupler includes a central bore extending therethrough. A portion of the central bore is proximate the second end of the coupler and adapted for engaging the equipment port. The body is secured to the tubular post and extends about a first end of the tubular post for receiving an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. A portion of at least one of the tubular post, the coupler and the body provides a spring-like force on the surface of at least one of the other of the tubular post, the coupler and the body to establish an electrically conductive path therebetween. | 10-15-2015 |
20150118901 | COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR HAVING A GRIPPING MEMBER WITH A NOTCH AND DISPOSED INSIDE A SHELL - A gripping member for a coaxial cable connector is disclosed. The gripping member has a front end and a rear end opposite the front end, and an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal hole extending between the front end and the rear end. A first portion of the gripping member terminates at the front end. A second portion of the gripping member terminates at the rear end and includes at least one notch which extends from the inner surface of second portion to a certain depth from inner surface. The gripping member is configured to be forced under a body of a coaxial cable connector when driven axially forward by a shell of a coaxial cable connector to secure a coaxial cable to the connector. | 04-30-2015 |
20140148051 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH GROUNDING MEMBER - A coaxial cable connector for coupling a coaxial cable to an equipment port, the coaxial cable including a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, the dielectric material being surrounded by an outer conductor, the coaxial cable connector including: a post including a first end adapted to be inserted into a prepared end of the coaxial cable between the dielectric material and the outer conductor, wherein the post includes a second end including an enlarged shoulder, wherein the enlarged shoulder has a radial face that faces away from the first end of the post, wherein the radial face is substantially flat; a body member adjacent to the post; a coupler including an internally-threaded region for engaging the equipment port; and a grounding member contacting the post and the coupler, wherein the grounding member provides an electrically-conductive grounding path through the post and the coupler while allowing the coupler to rotate, wherein the grounding member includes at least one resilient portion. | 05-29-2014 |
20120270441 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH GROUNDING MEMBER - A coaxial cable connector includes tubular post, a coupler secured over an end of the tubular post for securing the connector to an appliance, and an outer body secured to the tubular post. An electrical grounding path is maintained between the coupler and the tubular post whether or not the coupler is tightly fastened to the appliance. The electrical grounding path is provided by a resilient, electrically-conductive grounding member disposed between the tubular post and the coupler. Alternatively, the connector includes conductive grease at a point where mating portions of the tubular post and coupler have closely matching dimensions. | 10-25-2012 |
20110318958 | COAXIAL CONNECTOR WITH DUAL-GRIP NUT - A connector for coaxial cable includes a dual-grip nut having a first external gripping surface and a second external gripping surface. The smallest outer diameter of the first external gripping surface is less than the smallest outer diameter of the second external gripping surface. | 12-29-2011 |
