Definitions

  • EP 0 744 788 A1 discloses a device of the type in question which has a base body which is designed as a clamp which can be tensioned around the cable to be contacted, which is designed to be open in the circumferential direction and has angled tabs at its ends, on the surfaces of which facing one another in the assembly position, sealing surfaces are formed from elastic material, wherein the tabs can be connected to one another by means of screws in the assembly position of the device.
  • the base body has a band-shaped metallic clamp which is embedded in elastic material, a contact surface for a contact element for contacting the stripped region of the coaxial cable being left free on the side facing the body to be contacted.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that when the device is mounted on the coaxial cable, the screws for tensioning the base body are tightened excessive force, the elastic material of the sealing surfaces on the tabs is compressed excessively and not defined, so that there is a risk that the elastic material is damaged and the sealing surfaces thereby lose their sealing effect.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which does not have the disadvantage of the known device, in which the risk that the elastic material of the sealing surfaces is excessively compressed when tightening the screws, is reduced.
  • the basic idea of the teaching according to the invention is to provide means for limiting the screwing-in path of the screw in such a way that the elastic material of the sealing surfaces is compressed in a defined manner when the screw is tightened. In this way, the elastic material of the sealing surfaces is reliably prevented from being excessively compressed when the screw is tightened and possibly being damaged in the process. Rather, the compression of the elastic material takes place in a defined manner, wherein the degree of compression can be selected in a simple manner by appropriately dimensioning the means for limiting the screw-in path and thus the maximum possible screw-in path. Due to the means provided according to the invention for limiting the screwing-in path, the installation of the device according to the invention is simplified and can therefore also be carried out easily by untrained personnel. The device according to the invention is simple and thus inexpensive to manufacture and robust in construction.
  • the means for limiting the screw-in path can be designed in any suitable manner according to the respective requirements, for example in that the thread of the screw ends at an axial distance from its head, so that the screw-in path is limited by the length of the thread.
  • the stop can be arranged on the screw, in particular molded onto the screw, or the stop can be arranged on one of the tabs, in particular molded onto one of the tabs.
  • the stop is integrally formed on the screw or on one of the tabs, an additional component is not required to form the stop, so that the structure of the device according to the invention is further simplified and more cost-effective.
  • the stop is formed by at least one projection which extends in the axial direction of the screw and which is arranged on the side of a tab facing the head of the screw in the mounting position, such that the head the screw comes to rest on the projection at the end of the screw-in path.
  • the projection can be formed, for example, by at least one nose or the like formed on the tab.
  • the stop is formed by a disk or sleeve surrounding the shaft of the screw, which is arranged in the assembly position between the head of the screw and the facing tab. This embodiment has the advantage that standard components can be used both for the screw and for the washer forming the stop, so that the device according to the invention is also designed to be particularly simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture in this embodiment.
  • the screw expediently extends in the assembly position of the device through a through hole which is formed in one of the tabs and is screwed into a threaded hole which is formed in the other tab.
  • the base body of the device according to the invention consists of thin sheet metal, for example, in order to increase the stability and to achieve a sufficient depth, in particular the threaded hole, it is expedient for the tabs to have reinforcing elements, preferably made of metal, in which the bores are formed.
  • a further development of the embodiment in which the stop is molded onto the screw provides that the screw has a thread-free area between its head and its threaded end, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the thread, such that a Shoulder is formed, the diameter of the through hole in the
  • Tab corresponds to the diameter of the screw in the area of the shoulder or is larger than this, such that the axial end face of the shoulder in the screw-in position on the surface of the other face facing this tab rests on the tab.

  • a first embodiment of a device 2 according to the invention is shown, which has a flexible base body 4 designed as a clamp, which in this embodiment is formed in one piece and open in the circumferential direction and has angled tabs 6, 8 at its free ends, which in Mounting position can be connected to each other in a manner explained in more detail below by screws, not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the base body 4 has a band-shaped metal part 10 and a part 12 made of elastic material, in the exemplary embodiment an elastomer, in which the metal part 10 is embedded with its axial edges and is thus connected to the part 12 made of elastic material (FIG. 4).
  • the metal part 10 extends in the circumferential direction into the tabs 6, 8 and is reinforced in this area for stabilization with plate-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 7 made of metal, which can be welded to the metal part 10, for example. Threaded bores 9, 11 and through bores 13, 15 are formed in the lug 6, and through bores 13, 15 in the lug 8, in order to accommodate screws not shown in FIG. 1, by means of which the lugs 6, 8 in the assembly position are interconnectable.
  • the part 12 made of elastic material forms sealing lips 14, 16 on the side facing a coaxial cable to be contacted and, in this exemplary embodiment, in the axial direction outside of the sealing lips 14, 16 further sealing lips 18, 20.
  • the base body 4 lies with the sealing lips 14, 16 and the further sealing lips 18, 20 sealingly on an outer surface of the body to be contacted, so that a space formed in the assembly position between the body to be contacted and the base body 4 is sealed against the ingress of air and / or moisture.
  • the device 2 also has a contact element (not shown in FIG. 1) for establishing an electrically conductive connection with the coaxial cable to be contacted, which in the mounting position on the side of the base body facing the coaxial cable to be contacted, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 on one radial inner surface 22 of the base body 4, which forms a holding surface, is held, for example by means of adhesive.
