  • Patent number: 5322454
    Abstract: A connector for connecting to helically corrugated conduit comprises a bolt member having a passageway therethrough and a connector body having a hollow end portion that receives the bolt member. The connector includes a collet clamp within the passageway that has a grooved gripping surface adapted to be received within the helical corrugations of the conduit. The collet clamp includes a plurality of fingers each having a radially inward directing gripping surface and a wedge-shaped outer surface. A bushing having a frustoconically shaped bore is advanced over the fingers of the collet clamp when the bolt member is attached to the connector body in order to force the fingers radially inward into gripping contact with the corrugated conduit.

  • Patent number: 4881912
    Abstract: A coaxial connector for mating a coaxial cable to a mating connector includes a hollow interior within the connector and insulation lining the hollow interior. Insulation lines the tubular passage through which the coaxial cable inner dielectric and center conductor are inserted into the hollow interior of the connector during field attachment of the connector to the cable. A tapered opening in the insulator lining the hollow interior is sized to receive and guide the inner dielectric of the coaxial cable being attached. There is also provided an access hole into the hollow interior to facilitate connection of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to the center conductor pin of the connector. The access hole is closed by an insulation piece sized for insertion into the access hole.
