Benefits of technology

This patent provides an insertion tool that allows for easier and more precise connection of RF connectors. The tool includes a spring that helps to hold the insertion tool in place, without needing hands-on force to keep it there. The tool is designed to be used with one hand, and can be easily operated with fingers alone. Overall, this tool makes it easier for operators to securely hold and manage RF connectors.

Problems solved by technology

Right-angled RF connectors may be difficult to maneuver during installation and misalignment or improper application of force during installation may result in damage to components.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]To facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure, the following examples of certain embodiments are given. The following examples are not to be read to limit or define the scope of the disclosure. Embodiments of the present disclosure and its advantages are best understood by referring to FIGS. 1 through 4, where like numbers are used to indicate like and corresponding parts.

[0017]Various radio frequency (“RF”) connectors may be used to connect RF wires or other communication links into RF connection ports. For example, right-angled RF connectors may be used to provide connection to an RF connection port at a 90 degree angle. Right-angled RF connectors may be useful when there is little room to connect the RF wire or little overhead within an enclosed space in which the RF connector may be installed. The right-angled RF connector provides additional installation challenges. For example, the wire connected to the connector make a 90 degree angle, which requires th...

Abstract

An apparatus includes a shaft, a slide lock, and a pin. The shaft includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end and a middle portion between the first end and the second end. The first end includes an enclosure. The middle portion includes a tapered hole. The tapered hole is tapered in a direction from the first end to the second end. The slide lock is disposed over the shaft. The pin is disposed through the tapered hole and coupled to the slide lock. The movement of the slide lock is coupled to movement of the pin within the tapered hole of the shaft. The position of the pin within the tapered hole corresponds to an amount of opening of the enclosure.
