Abstract
Abstract A method of connecting a coaxial cable to a wiring appliance to which a plurality of electrodes are integrally secured via insulating materials. The method comprises the steps of severing an end of the coaxial cable smoothly against the axis thereof, putting the severed end into contact with the wiring appliance, connecting the electrodes with inner and outer conductors exposed on the severed end of the coaxial cable and securing the coaxial cable to the wiring appliance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A method of connecting a coaxial cable having an outer circumferential ground shield and a central conductor to an electrical connector such as a phone plug or jack having a plurality of electrodes integrally secured therein and insulated from each other, said method comprising the steps of: severing across the entire end of said coaxial cable smoothly normal to the longitudinal axis thereof to provide a single flat end face thereon and exposing only the end faces of said shield and central conductor; axially moving said single severed flat end of said coaxial cable into contact with said electrical connector; forcibly connecting said electrodes axially with the inner conductor and outer shield end faces exposed on said flat severed end of said coaxial cable; and concurrently tightly securing the body of said coaxial cable to said electrical connector.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
138 words
A method of connecting a coaxial cable having an outer circumferential ground shield and a central conductor to an electrical connector such as a phone plug or jack having a plurality of electrodes integrally secured therein and insulated from each other, said method comprising the steps of: severing across the entire end of said coaxial cable smoothly normal to the longitudinal axis thereof to provide a single flat end face thereon and exposing only the end faces of said shield and central conductor; axially moving said single severed flat end of said coaxial cable into contact with said electrical connector; forcibly connecting said electrodes axially with the inner conductor and outer shield end faces exposed on said flat severed end of said coaxial cable; and concurrently tightly securing the body of said coaxial cable to said electrical connector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said coaxial cable is secured to said electrical connector by a cylindrical case clamped against said coaxial cable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said coaxial cable is secured to said electrical connector by interposing a C-shaped tapered member between said wiring appliance into which said coaxial cable is inserted and a cylindrical member is placed over the end of said cable and said tapered member and is threadedly connected to said connector thereby forcing said tapered member against said coaxial cable.
