  • 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.

  • Patent number: 6512190
    Abstract: A disconnector shall be provided which along with a high degree of reliability and little structural effort enables two electric conductors to be separated from each other. To this end, a disconnector is proposed, comprising a housing (10), first and second conductors (14, 16) which extend into the housing (10) and abut against each other at a contact point (18, 20), and an adjusting element (12) adjustable between a starting position and a separating position relative to the first and second conductors (14, 16) and provided with a separating element (22) which when in its separating position separates the first and second conductors (14, 16) from each other.
