  • Patent number: 6409553
    Abstract: A battery clamp comprises a connecting lug (12), a contact ring (10) which is provided with a slot so as to form two opposite clamping ends (14). Each clamping end includes a bent lug (16), and a slope (18). A spring (22) engages the clamping ends of the contact ring. A blocking wedge (28) is positioned between the bent lugs of the clamping ends and can be shifted between a mounting position in which it keeps the clamping ends of the contact ring in a spread condition, and a contact position in which it releases the clamping ends so that the spring can pull the clamping ends together.

  • Publication number: 20020076997
    Abstract: A battery clamp comprises a contact ring which can be placed on a battery contact, and a terminal bolt to which a cable can be screwed. The contact ring is formed from two metal lugs each continuing into an intermediate section in which they extend in parallelism to each other and spaced from each other. Adjacent thereto, the metal lugs continue into a terminal section in which the terminal bolt is arranged. A stiffening lug is provided which starting from the terminal section extends as far as between the two intermediate sections and is connected at this place with the two metal lugs in a fashion resistant to shearing load.

  • Publication number: 20020050522
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of attaching an electronic identification device having an electronic identification means to a vehicle body, which comprises the following steps: a) prior to at least one of the steps painting and galvanizing the body, the identification device is attached to the body by means of a spacer in such a way that the identification device is spaced away from the body; b) following painting and galvanizing, the identification device is permanently arrested on the body without being detached in the meantime from the body. The invention further relates to an electronic identification device for being attached to a vehicle body by means of the method proposed.

    Abstract: A battery clamp for being connected to a battery contact comprises a connecting lug, a contact ring which is provided with a slot so as to form two opposite clamping ends, and a spring which engages the clamping ends of the contact ring. The battery clamp further comprises a blocking wedge which can be shifted between a contact position in which it releases the clamping ends such that the spring can pull the clamping ends together, a mounting position in which it keeps the clamping ends of the contact ring to be spread apart such that the battery clamp can be placed on the battery contact, and a pull-off position in which it spreads the clamping ends of the contact ring to a larger degree than in the mounting position such that the battery clamp can be pulled off from the battery contact.
