  • Patent number: 8342862
    Abstract: A power connector comprises a slidably positionable earth pin. The earth pin is able to be positioned in a travel, or small form factor and in an operational form factor. The housing of the connector comprises a member having a slot that defines a sliding path for the earth pin. The member also has two sets of grooves for receiving a set of spring loaded protrusions on the earth pin. The protrusions come to rest in one of the sets of grooves thereby defining a small form factor and an operational form factor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6554657
    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.
