The patent US12014841B2 describes an innovative apparatus designed for use in coaxial transmission lines, which consist of an outer conductor surrounding an inner conductor. Central to this invention is a cylinder-shaped dielectric member that defines a bore along its longitudinal axis. This dielectric member is encased by a first conductive member that extends along the same axis, featuring a continuous inner surface. The design includes a plurality of conductive contact members mounted on the outer surface of the first conductive member, which are strategically spaced to ensure electrical contact with the inner surface of the outer conductor while maintaining a clearance between the two components. Notably, both the dielectric member and the first conductive member extend only partially along the length of the outer conductor, optimizing space and functionality.

Additionally, the patent outlines methods for implementing this apparatus within a coaxial transmission line. The process involves mounting the first conductive member around the dielectric member and positioning the assembly within the annulus formed by the inner and outer conductors. The claims specify that the contact members can include spring members or brushes, and they may be arranged to maintain concentricity between the first and second perimeters of the conductive members. The invention also allows for the dielectric member to consist of multiple layers and includes provisions for lining its inner surface with a second conductive member. This design aims to enhance the performance and reliability of coaxial transmission lines by ensuring effective electrical contact and structural integrity.
