Abstract:
An antenna grounding assembly for a hand-held device, the grounding assembly comprising: an antenna having an antenna shaft connected between a grounding block and a protective sheath; an antenna tube affixed within the hand-held device and holding the antenna, the antenna tube having an upper end through which the antenna shaft is extended or retracted, and an inner end opposite the upper end; and a grounding clip installed into the inner end of the antenna tube, the grounding clip having a base and at least one contact pin extending axially along the antenna tube for resilient contact with the grounding block.
Abstract:
A contact element for electric components (1) is manufactured from a conductive material. The material is moreover rubber-like elastic and deformable. As a result, contact forces are realised between the contact element (4) and the electronic components (1) which are to be interconnected. An electric contact comprises a first and a second metal part which are to be interconnected electrically. Moreover, the contact includes a contact element which is resilient. The contact element is produced from an electrically conductive silicon material.
Abstract:
A coupling device (10) that includes first (14) and second (16) relatively rotating members mounted about a common axis (A) and first (20) and second (22) lines fixed between the first and second members. The first line is adapted to wrap around the first member in a first direction and around the second member in a second direction, opposite the first direction. The second line is adapted to wrap around the first member in the second direction and around the second member in the first direction. A guide (34) is revolvably mounted to the first and second members for translating the first and second lines between the first member and the second member as the first and second members rotate relative to each other.
Abstract:
Antenna device (2) for transmitting and/or receiving RF signals, a contact clip and a method for manufacturing such an antenna device. The antenna (2) device comprises an inner support structure (4) having a central first longitudinal axis and supporting a radiating element (5), and an outer support structure (3) having an elongated cavity with an entry aperture, and covering at least a main portion of the radiating element (5), and the inner support (4). The inner support (4) has a slit spring action means exerting force adjacent to the entry aperture in at least directions essentially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis. A retainer being designed such that the force of the slit spring action means must be overcome to remove the inner support structure from elongated aperture is also provided in the antenna device. A contact clip having slit spring action features can be used to contact the radiating element of the antenna device.
Abstract:
In order to switch, especially aerials, between two channels while at the same time ensuring pressure contact with a sufficiently wide contact area, a connector (1) is made which includes a resilient switching blade (3) provided with a side arm (4). This side arm (4) ensures linear contact with a pin (7) of another connector, especially a coaxial connector (70). This improvement means that such a connector is simple to use, to construct and to mount on a printed circuit.
Abstract:
A connector interface (68) provides direct connection from a wireless communication device to a coaxial connector. The wireless communication device has a housing with an antenna connector. The antenna connector has a hollow pseudo-cylindrical center providing an opening through the housing. The connector interface has a custom connector (66) comprised of an outer conductive shell (72), a nonconductive spacer (76) and a ground probe (78). The outer conductive shell (72) is mounted on the printed circuit board (70). The nonconductive spacer (76) is disposed within the hollow pseudo-cylindrical center of the outer conductive shell (72). When the connector interface is connected to the wireless communication device, the outer conductive shell (72) contacts the antenna connector and the ground probe extends through the opening into the housing to connect electrically to a ground potential within the housing.

A base station antenna includes a radome having a bottom opening, an antenna assembly within the radome, a bottom end cap covering the bottom opening of the radome, the bottom end cap including a plurality of connector receptacles, and a plurality of connectors mounted in respective ones of the connector receptacles, each connector including a connector port that extends downwardly from the bottom end cap. Longitudinal axes of a first subset of the connectors extend at respective oblique angles with respect to a plane that is normal to a longitudinal axis of the antenna.
Abstract:
A structure containing an antenna with an orientation which can be changed when one part of a two-part structure is turned relative to the other on a rotating shaft includes first and second structures as the two parts. The second structure is rotatably connected to the first structure through the rotating shaft, and the second structure comprises an antenna plate. When the second structure is rotated relative to the first structure, the rotated antenna plate allows a wider range of wavelength frequencies within the rotation range of the second structure.
