  • Patent number: 8932086
    Abstract: A battery terminal lug (1) is disclosed, the lug being equipped with a shunt (7) for measuring the battery current and other battery characteristics. The lug includes a support (8), such as for a printed circuit, of at least one electronic component. The lug is made up of a first part (2), which is configured to be secured to a terminal of the battery, and a second part, which is configured to be secured to the cable of the battery (which is ordinarily directly associated with the terminal of the battery). The two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug are electrically insulated from one another and are provided with projecting portions (28, 38) to bear the shunt (7), and a casing (5, 6) to accommodate the shunt (7) and the support (8), wherein electrical insulation (4, 17) is positioned so as to intervene between the two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug (1).

  • Patent number: 7239062
    Abstract: This brush holder assembly for an electric machine includes a bearing-forming metal end cap (26) intended to be mounted on a carcass of the machine, and a set of members (28, 30, 32, 34) for electrical connection of the brushes mounted on the end cap (26) by means of rivets (50, 52) which each include a shank extending from one of the pieces consisting of the end cap and one of the members, passing through an orifice formed in the other piece and folded over against the latter. The shank is made of the same material as the piece from which it extends and includes a closed head.
