Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Connection for joining end to end, two sections of coaxial cable, comprising two metallic half-shells having elastic and truncated cone-shaped ends, by centering and fixing the half-shells round the central conductor of the sections and of the ends of their external conductors and clamping the ends of the half-shells onto the ends of the external conductors.
  • the invention has for its object a connection for effecting the end-to-end joining of two sections of coaxial cables, more particularly those having aerated insulation by such means as disks or helicoidal elements, or
  • tubes nipped at regular intervals, or disks covered with a tube or a tape are nipped at regular intervals, or disks covered with a tube or a tape.
  • connection of this invention is characterised in that it comprises certain elements.
  • Two insulating end members which ensure simultaneously the centering of the conductor and a mechanical reinforcing, are each fitted to the central conductor of a section of cable and each is inserted in the end of the external conductor of respective sections.
  • Two metallic half-shells whose ends are chamfered externally and provided with longitudinal slots, bear against the ends of the external conductors of the two sections.
  • Twometallic rings having a truncated cone shaped internal profile bear respectively against each end of the two half-shells.
  • a cylindrical metallic sleeve having threaded ends covers the two half-shells and the ends of the external conductors of the two sections.
  • Two nuts are fitted onto the external conductors of I the twosections and cooperate with the threads of the cylindrical sleeve to clamp the connection assembly.
  • FIG. 1 is-a longitudinal cut-away'view tion of this invention in one form.
  • FIG. 2 is a, sectional view of the metallic sleeve forming a part of the connection of FIG; -1.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the sleeve of FIG. 2.
  • central conductors l and l are connectedtogether at3 by a conventional means, such as welding, brazing or crimping, which does not comewithin the scope of the present invention.
  • An insulating centering washer 4 is advantageously placed at that point.
  • An insulating end member 5 comprising, at its external surface, a groove 54 and ending at one end me stop flange 6 is inserted in the end of each section such as 2.
  • That endpiece is preferably made of a material having simultaneously a fairly great mechanical strength and good electrical characteristics such as permittivity of the, connecand angle of losses as a function of the frequency, such as, by way of an example having no limiting character, polyphenylene oxyde.
  • Each of these half-shells comprises ends such as 8, 8', externally chamfered and provided with a certain number of radially disposed longitudinally extending slots such as 9, 9' in order to give then a certain elasticity.
  • the said ends such as 8, 8 are provided, preferably internally, with serrations in order to be fixed better to the ends of the external conductors such as 2, as shown on FIG. 1.
  • the said ends comprises also an internal transversal groove 10 in which is accomodated and fixed the flange 6 of the end piece 5.
  • the half-shells comprise, at their middle, an internal transversal groove 11 in which is accomodated and fixed the central washer 4 (FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • a ring 12 having a truncated cone shaped internal profile is fitted onto the ends such as 8, 8 of the halfshells 7, 7
  • the metallic sleeve 13, threaded at its ends advantageously having in its middle part, flats such as 14, en-
  • That assembly may then be covered, wholly or only at its ends, with a plastic intermediate sheath, which is .possibly thermo-shrinkable, which provides the fluidtight sealing of the connection and which, moreover,
  • the improvement comprising: an insulating end member fitted into each of the external conductors, and receiving the central conductor and having a flange abutting the end of the external conductor and wherein the two half-shells each have an internal groove which receives the flange of a respective end member, a ring having a tapered internal surface facing the ends of said half-shell, the ends of saidhalfshells being chamfered on their outer surfaces and provided with longitudinal slots, wherein the two nuts are screwed into the internal threads of the sleeve and sections of ternal ends of the half-shells are threaded for better adherence to the external conductors of the two sections.
