Torque transmitting housing for CATV filter
View Patent ↗A housing for a CATV filter includes an outer sleeve which is preferably made of stainless steel. A filter assembly and two headers are contained within the outer sleeve. Two engagement holes for a special pin spanner-type wrench are formed in a face of the outer sleeve instead of in a header. The engagement holes are preferably “drifted” holes, which in effect means that rims are created during the forming of holes which add to the strength of the holes.
1. A housing for a CATV filter, comprising:
an outer sleeve;
a first end of the sleeve having a first hole therein which is equal in size to an inner diameter of the sleeve;
a second end of the sleeve having a face;
the face having a centered second hole therein which is sized to permit entry of a threaded cable connector therein; and
the face further including two engagement holes therein.
2. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the outer sleeve is of stainless steel.
3. A housing according to claim 2 , wherein the two engagement holes are drifted.
4. A method for making a housing for a CATV filter, comprising the steps of:
forming an outer sleeve, wherein a first end of the sleeve includes a first hole therein which is equal in size to an inner diameter of the sleeve, and wherein a second end of the sleeve includes a face;
forming a second hole centered in the face which is sized to permit entry of a threaded cable connector therein; and
forming two engagement holes in the face.
5. A method according to claim 4 , wherein the outer sleeve is of stainless steel.
6. A method according to claim 5 , wherein the two engagement holes are drifted.
