Abstract
The disclosure concerns a detachable coupling for a pressure-medium-filled high frequency line and/or for a coaxial line and/or for a hollow wave guide. The abutting ends of two sections of the line are gas sealed. A valve arrangement at the abutting ends opens the communication between the line ends when the line sections are coupled and seals the line sections when the line sections are separated. Various valving arrangements are illustrated for various types of lines, coaxial lines and wave guides.
Claims8
A detachable coupling for a coaxial line containing a pressurized gas, said coupling comprising:
- a first coaxial line having a first inner conductor and a first outer conductor and having a first end;
- a second coaxial line having a second inner conductor and a second outer conductor and having a second end;
- said first and second inner conductors being filled with a gas under pressure;
- said first and second ends being joinable to each other in such a manner as to connect said first and second inner conductors, and to connect said first and second outer conductors;
- each of said coaxial lines having a respective insulating member at its respective said end for retaining said gas in said line under pressure;
- each of said ends having a valve disposed in its respective said inner conductor, said valves defining a flow path connecting the interiors of said inner conductors when said ends are joined to each other and for maintaining the interiors of said inner conductors sealed from the atmosphere when said ends are not joined to each other;
- said valves operating automatically to open when said ends are joined and to close automatically when said ends are separated.
