  • Patent number: 4380291
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a plurality of reinforced battery terminal connectors is shown in which a strip of a multiple of hard conductive metal inserts are formed with a flat cable connector portion for each unit having a joint between each insert. A line of weakness is provided at the joint and thereafter the strip is inserted into a mold, ideally ten or twelve at a time, and a material poured into the mold surrounding the strip to form the exterior configuration of a battery terminal. Once the same is removed from the mold a plurality of reinforced terminal connectors are formed joined by a line of weakness which permits them to be readily separated from each other. A modified form of the invention includes the further steps of preparing a clamp display strip having a plurality of clamping members secured by a weakened break away to a display strip.
