Appl. No.:

09/657711

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO 80020
Sheng Chia Wong - Taipei, TW

Assignee:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO

International Classification:

H01R 905

US Classification:

439585

Abstract:

A guide for coaxial cable end connectors having a crimping ring at one end of the connector which receives the end of the coaxial cable, a cylindrical insert disposed in a central bore of the connector body and has a recessed portion for loose-fitting insertion of the cable to maintain centered to the body as the cable is advanced with the body. In one form, the guide is free to be removed from the body once the cable is fully inserted, and in another form has a tubular insert through which the cable is inserted and advanced into engagement with an extension pin with the tubular insert in surrounding relation to the extension pin. In one form, a starter plug supports an extension pin in the body and facing the male end of the cable so that the male end will advance the extension pin toward the opposite end of the connector body as the cable is advanced into the body.

Appl. No.:

08/592562

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Westminster CO 80030

International Classification:

A02G 300

US Classification:

174101, 30169, 29270, 29278, 174 48

Abstract:

A protective cover assembly for electrical cables to be extended along a wall or floor surface includes interfitting U-shaped clip members and cover strips having complementary flange portions between their respective sidewalls, and the sidewalls of the clip members are provided with cable retainers to temporarily retain the cables in place during installation and spacer tabs to maintain uniform spacing with a baseboard or other trim. A re-entry tool is provided for positive separation or release of the cover strip from the clip members and specially formed slots are provided in the bases of the clip members for insertion of different types of anchor fasteners.

Assignee:

International Communications Manufacturing Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

B25B 700

US Classification:

295644, 29751, 7107, 7240914

Abstract:

Hand held tools have been devised for preparing and crimping cables and specifically coaxial cables for television, a first form of tool made up of a low profile body having a main channel with a threaded crimping bolt for crimping circular fittings by axial compression onto the end of the cable, and a second form has a main channel which utilizes the same crimping bolt to carry out hexagonal crimping operations; and both forms have a channel for preparing each cable end for the crimping operation in which stripper blades are pivotally mounted for movement into engagement with the cable end to strip away one or more layers of the cable under the control of an adjustable limit stop which regulates the depth of penetration of each blade.

Appl. No.:

09/960566

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO

Assignee:

International Communication Manufacturing Corp. - Denver CO

International Classification:

H01R 4342

US Classification:

29751, 29753, 29758, 29761, 29 33 M, 7240914

Abstract:

A hand-held tool for terminating connectors onto a coaxial cable has an elongated body and an end stop and plunger on the body, the plunger being controlled by a lever arm which will axially advance the plunger toward and away from the end stop to radially compress a portion of the connector into firm crimping engagement with the end of the coaxial cable. To accommodate different lengths of connectors, a receiver is resiliently mounted on the plunger for insertion of different length adapter tips to vary the axial spacing between the receiver and the end stop according to the length of connector being terminated; and in still another form the body may include a hinged adapter adjacent to the end stop to vary the effective distance between the end stop and plunger according to the length of fitting being terminated.

Appl. No.:

10/391026

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO 80020

International Classification:

H01R 905

US Classification:

439578

Abstract:

In a coaxial cable TV connector, a universal crimping ring assembly is made up of axially offset crimping members arranged in telescoping relation to one another and to a crimpable sleeve into which the coaxial cable is inserted, and the crimping rings are preassembled onto the sleeve and have at least one tapered surface portion between them so that when the crimping rings are axially advanced over the outer sleeve will cause inward radial deformation of the outer sleeve into sealed engagement with an external surface of the cable.

Assignee:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO

International Classification:

H01R 905

US Classification:

439578

Abstract:

An adaptor or termination assembly for a mini-coax cable is made up of an extension tip which receives the inner conductor pin on the cable, a first sleeve which fits over an exposed end of the dielectric layer, and a second sleeve which surrounds an exposed end of the outer conductor, all as a preliminary to inserting the assembly into a standard sized connector body and assuring a positive connection between the cable and connector body in such a way as to avoid creating impedance which will downgrade the signal passing through the cable into the connector.

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO 80020

International Classification:

H01R 905

US Classification:

439585, 439578

Abstract:

A coaxial cable TV connector is made up of one or more crimping members having inner tapered surface portions which are preassembled onto a crimpable sleeve member of a connector body, the sleeve having an external tapered portion into which the coaxial cable is inserted so that the crimping ring(s) can be preassembled onto the sleeve and axially advanced to cause inward radial deformation of the sleeve into sealed engagement with an outer surface of the coaxial cable, and each size of connector assembly is conformable for use with more than one size of cable.

Appl. No.:

10/654808

Inventors:

Randall A. Holliday - Broomfield CO, US

International Classification:

H01R009/05

US Classification:

439578

Abstract:

An adapter or termination assembly for a mini-coaxial cable in a first embodiment is made up of an extension tip which receives the inner conductor pin on the cable, a first sleeve which fits over an exposed end of the dielectric layer, and a second sleeve which surrounds an exposed end of the outer conductor, all as a preliminary to inserting the assembly into a standard sized connector body and assuring a positive connection between the cable and connector body in such a way as to avoid creating impedance which will downgrade the signal passing through the cable into the connector. In a second embodiment, a single sleeve is employed in place of the first and second sleeves and which fits over the exposed end of the dielectric layer as well as the exposed end of the outer conductor.
