  • Patent number: 6716070
    Abstract: In order to lock an electrical clasp to a biomedical electrode stud which projects upwardly from the center of the biomedical electrode, the clasp is provided with an opening in its lower surface for the stud of the biomedical electrode and a downwardly extending tab that has a concave surface facing the stud of the electrode. The concave surface of the tab can be either trough-shaped or spoon-shaped. During operation the tab is moved downwardly from a disengaged position into contact with the sidewall of the stud. In addition, there is a laterally extending tab-retaining edge or rim within the opening and the edge is aligned vertically below the tab so that during use it acts as a backing for the free end of the tab which engages the stud somewhat below the widest part of the head of the stud thereby locking the stud in place within the clasp. Optionally, the clasp includes a plug receptacle that has a converging passage for the plug with electrically conductive resilient walls.
