Abstract: A method of forming an end of a coaxial cable to prevent the dielectric from
receding within the outer conductor is disclosed, together with a cable formed by the
method and an apparatus for carrying the method out. The cable comprises a central
wire conductor (12), a dielectric (14) formed of several layers of PTFE tape, and an
outer conductor (16) of metal braid. The outer conductor is cut away to expose a
substantial length of the dielectric. A shroud (20) is slid over the outer conductor. The
shroud carries a spacer lip (26) that abuts the end of the outer conductor, while leaving
a gap (28) between the lip and the exposed dielectric. The end of the cable is then
inserted into a blind bore (32) in a heated tool (30). The blind bore fits snugly around
the exposed dielectric, but is appreciably shorter. The tool is forced onto the cable,
compressing the dielectric, until the tool meets the spacer lip. The heat of the tool fuses
the layers of the PTFE together, and allows the PTFE to flow, forming a bead (40) in the
gap inside the spacer lip. The bead engages the end of the outer conductor, preventing
the dielectric from receding within the conductor.

Abstract: A conventional lens cleaner for use in a disc playing
device, comprises a cleaning disc which has several bundles
of flocks or projections for getting in contact with a lens
of an optical disc and thus removing dust from the lens.
However, since the flocks or projections are protruding
outwardly from the disc, the disc can not be easily inserted
into and removed from the disc playing device, or the lens
would be wounded. In order to solve this problem, the disc
playing device lens cleaner of the present invention,
comprises a cleaning disc having a shape similar to an
optical disc, and one or more through holes formed on the
cleaning disc. Air flow is generated by said one or more
through holes when the cleaning disc is rotated, and is sent
