Abstract:
1. An F-type coaxial cable connector comprising: a connector body, having a first end and a second end; a post, attached to the connector body; a threaded nut, rotatable with respect to the post and also axially movable with respect to the connector body between a first position and a second position; a biasing member, internally located axially and radially within the nut, the biasing member compressably operable to exert force on the nut tending the nut to move in a direction toward the second end of the connector body; and a joint stop element, located to operably interact with the biasing member and introduce obstructive structure that impedes axial movement of the nut; wherein the nut is movable in an axial direction toward the first end of the connector body when in the first position; and wherein when the nut is located in the second position, the nut is no longer movable in a direction toward the first end of the connector body, because the obstructive structure of the joint stop element physically impedes further movement of the nut.
