Patent ID: 8167647

Claim:
A coaxial connector affixed to one end of a coaxial cable for fastening to an outer thread at a metal connection member of a complementary Female connector to electrically connecting said coaxial cable to said complementary Female connector, the coaxial connector comprising: a clamping tube, said clamping tube comprising a narrow body affixed to said coaxial cable, a tapered head axially forwardly and radially outwardly extended from said narrow body for clamping the metal connection member of said complementary Female connector, a receiving chamber surrounded by said tapered head for receiving said metal connection member of said complementary Female connector, said receiving chamber having an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of said outer thread at said metal connection member of said complementary Female connector, a retaining structure located on the distal end of said tapered head inside said receiving chamber and a plurality of longitudinal slits axially extending from said narrow body through said tapered head and a stop flange; and a chuck sleeve sleeved onto said clamping tube and axially movable relative to said clamping tube between said narrow body and said tapered head, said chuck sleeve having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of said distal end of said tapered head of said clamping tube such that when said chuck sleeve is moved from said narrow body of said clamping tube to said distal end of said tapered head, said tapered head is compressed to force said retaining structure into engagement with said outer thread at said metal connection member of said complementary Female connector; when said chuck sleeve is moved from said distal end of said tapered head to said narrow body, said distal end of said tapered head is released from the constraint of said chuck sleeve to disengage said retaining structure from said outer thread at said metal connection member of said complementary Female connector.
