Abstract:
A coaxial connector having an axially moveable shell in opposition to a separate and distinct body component wherein the moveable shell contains a gripping member capable of having the front portion displaced radially inwardly by the body so that the gripping member is positioned within the connector body and between the connector body and the coaxial cable and secures the cable to the connector and environmentally seals the junction while at the same time the shell contains a structure to move a rear portion of the gripping member radially outwardly upon compression. In some embodiments disclosed herein the shell contains a structure to prevent a rear portion of the gripping member from moving radially inwardly upon compression. Other connector shell embodiments may be made from a one-piece stamping instead of a machined component and thereby deliver a manufacturing cost savings.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for securing a coaxial cable to a coaxial cable connector, the method comprising:\n inserting a coaxial cable through an inner bore of a body, shell and gripping member of the coaxial cable connector, wherein the body comprises a rear end, a front end, and an internal surface extending between the rear and front ends of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, wherein the shell comprises a rear end, a front end surrounding at least a portion of the body, an inner surface defining a longitudinal opening extending between the rear and front ends of the shell and a forwardly angled surface, the shell being axially movable over an outside portion the body between a first rearward position and a second forward position, and wherein the gripping member is disposed at least partially within the longitudinal opening of the shell, the gripping member comprising a front end, a rear end, an outer surface, and an inner surface defining an opening therein; and axially sliding the shell in a forward direction relative to the body, wherein the forward angled surface of the shell is adapted to displace at least a portion of the rear end of the gripping member radially outwardly as the shell is moved from the first rearward position toward the second forward position.
