Abstract
A connector for a conduit having an annular corrugated outer casing includes a clamping member which fits over an end of the casing, a ring split in one place along its circumference which fits into a corrugation trough, a housing having a conically bevelled clamping surface for engaging an inner surface of the last corrugation of the cable, and cooperating threaded portions on the clamping member and housing. Threading of the housing over the clamping member serves to draw and hold the conically bevelled clamping surface and a clamping surface of the split ring together against opposite surfaces of the outer conductor of the cable.
Claims25
A connector assembly for a conduit having an annularly corrugated outer casing, comprising:
- a clamping member which includes a pressing surface;
- a housing having a bevelled clamping surface positioned to engage an end of a last corrugation of said conduit;
- a split ring positioned adjacent the last corrugation;
- and
- means on said housing and said clamping member for releasably securing said housing to said clamping member,
- wherein when the clamping member is secured to the housing by said releasably securing means, the pressing surface presses said split ring against said last corrugation, whereupon the last corrugation is caused to engage the bevelled clamping surface, and the last corrugation is thereby clamped between the split ring and the bevelled clamping surface.
