Abstract

A connector for a coaxial cable is configured to be mounted to a first threaded surface of a connecting head of an electronic device. The connector includes: a nut configured to be mounted to the first threaded surface; an inner sleeve coaxially arranged with the nut, wherein the inner sleeve has a second threaded surface configured to be mounted to the coaxial cable; and an outer sleeve coaxially arranged with the nut and sleeved over the inner sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve has a first rear-extension portion in an inner space in the outer sleeve, wherein an annular space is between the first rear-extension portion and the outer sleeve and has an axial length smaller than a distance between the inner sleeve and a rear end of the inner space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A connector for a coaxial cable, configured to be mounted to a first threaded surface of a connecting head of an electronic device, comprising:
a nut configured to be mounted to said first threaded surface;
an inner sleeve coaxially arranged with said nut, wherein said inner sleeve has a second threaded surface configured to be mounted to said coaxial cable; and
an outer sleeve coaxially arranged with said nut and sleeved over said inner sleeve, wherein said inner sleeve has a first rear-extension portion in an inner space in said outer sleeve, wherein an annular space is between said first rear-extension portion and said outer sleeve and has an axial length smaller than an axial distance between a rear end of said inner sleeve and a rear end of said inner space.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said second thread surface is on an inner surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve.

3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said second thread surface is on an outer surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve at said rear-extension portion thereof and faces said annular space.

4. The connector of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve arranged at said rear-extension portion thereof and arranged to face said annular space has an angle between 3 and 10 degrees to an axial direction of said connector.

5. The connector of claim 1 , wherein an inner surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve arranged at said rear-extension portion thereof has an angle between 3 and 10 degrees to an axial direction of said connector.

6. The connector of claim 1 further comprising a sheet arranged in said inner space and vertical to an axial direction of said connector, wherein said sheet has an annular portion mounted to an inner surface of a cylindrical wall of said outer sleeve, multiple longitudinal portions each having an outer end joining said annular portion and extending in a radial direction and a plate portion joining multiple inner ends of said radially-extension portions.

7. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said outer sleeve comprises an inner flange tightly and radially fitted to an outer surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve, wherein said second threaded surface is distributed on an inner wall of said cylindrical wall and radially aligned with the position where said inner flange tightly and radially fitted to said outer surface.

8. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said outer sleeve comprises an inner flange tightly and radially fitted to an outer surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve, wherein said first rear-extension portion has a first axial distance from the position of said inner sleeve where said inner flange tightly and radially fitted to said outer surface to a rear end of said inner sleeve, wherein said outer sleeve has a second rear-extension portion having a second axial distance from said inner flange thereof to a rear end thereof, wherein said first axial distance is smaller than 0.6 times said second axial distance.

9. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said first rear-extension portion comprises a bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion, wherein said bump has a radian between 90 and 270 degrees with respect to an axis of said inner sleeve.

10. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said first rear-extension portion comprises a first bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion and a second bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion, wherein a cut is circumferentially between said first and second bumps.

11. The connector of claim 1 further comprising a guide element having a cylinder and a flange radially and outwardly protruding from said cylinder, wherein said cylinder has a front portion in said inner sleeve and said flange contacting a rear end of said first rear-extension portion, wherein a hole axially extends in said cylinder.

12. The connector of claim 1 , wherein said first rear-extension portion comprises a first bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion and a second bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion, wherein said first bump has a first radian with respect to an axis of said inner sleeve, which is substantially equal to a second radian of said second bump with respect to said axis of said inner sleeve.

13. The connector of claim 12 , wherein said first radian is between 15 and 60 degrees.

14. A connector for a coaxial cable, configured to be mounted to a first threaded surface of a connecting head of an electronic device, comprising:
a nut configured to be mounted to said first threaded surface;
an inner sleeve coaxially arranged with said nut, wherein said inner sleeve has a second threaded surface configured to be mounted to said coaxial cable, wherein said second threaded surface is on an inner surface of a cylindrical wall of said inner sleeve; and
an outer sleeve coaxially arranged with said nut and sleeved over said inner sleeve, wherein said inner sleeve has a first rear-extension portion in an inner space in said outer sleeve, wherein a first annular space is between said first rear-extension portion and said outer sleeve.

15. The connector of claim 14 , wherein said cylindrical wall arranged at said rear-extension portion has an outer surface facing said first annular space and having an angle between 3 and 10 degrees to an axial direction of said connector.

16. The connector of claim 14 , wherein said inner surface arranged at said rear-extension portion has an angle between 3 and 10 degrees to an axial direction of said connector.

17. The connector of claim 14 further comprising a sheet arranged in said inner space and vertical to an axial direction of said connector, wherein said sheet has an annular portion mounted to an inner surface of a cylindrical wall of said outer sleeve and multiple longitudinal portions each extending from said annular portion, wherein said annular portion and said longitudinal portions are configured to be arranged in a second annular space between said coaxial cable and said outer sleeve.

18. The connector of claim 14 , wherein said outer sleeve comprises an inner flange tightly and radially fitted to an outer surface of said cylindrical wall, wherein said first rear-extension portion has a first axial distance from the position of said inner sleeve where said inner flange tightly and radially fitted to said outer surface to a rear end of said inner sleeve, wherein said outer sleeve has a second rear-extension portion having a second axial distance from said inner flange thereof to a rear end thereof, wherein said first axial distance is smaller than 0.6 times said second axial distance.

19. The connector of claim 14 , wherein said first rear-extension portion comprises a first bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion and a second bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion, wherein said first bump has a first radian with respect to an axis of said inner sleeve, which is substantially equal to a second radian of said second bump with respect to said axis of said inner sleeve.

20. The connector of claim 14 , wherein said first rear-extension portion comprises a first bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion and a second bump axially protruding rearwards from said first rear-extension portion, wherein a cut is circumfere
