Abstract: A battery connector assembly for an automotive electrical system. The battery connector assembly includes a clamp portion joined to an electrically conductive body member at one end thereof and a stud portion joined to the body member at another end thereof. A pinchbolt and fastener is used to secure the clamp portion to a battery terminal post of a first battery.

When both the battery connector assembly is connected to the terminal post of the first battery, and the transfer terminal is connected to the stud portion, the fastener used to clamp the clamp portion to the terminal post is obstructed from access. The result is that removing the clamp portion from the first battery is inhibited without first removing the transfer terminal.

Abstract: In a tool for boosting (jump starting) a vehicle, it is know that there is a battery as a power source and booster cables to bring the energy to the engine. In this invention, the battery and the cables are incorporated into one unit which includes the battery, the cables and protective holsters (housing) to lodge the cables. The holsters are an integral part of the unit and swivel at 90.degree. (degrees) to permit easy access. In this way, everything can be carried in one hand. Also, because the unit can be easily placed close to the engine, the cables can be much shorter than regular booster cables. It is easier to use since there are only two connections to make instead of four. Finally, the holsters, which house the booster clips protect the user from short circuits.

Abstract: A car battery terminal clamp comprises two clamping jaws which are closed on one end and can be squeezed together at opposite free ends to provide a clamping effect at a clamping receiver between the closed end and the free ends. The clamping movement is produced by a tensioning device which produces a tensioning force acting perpendicular to the plane of the clamping movement. Sloping surfaces and corresponding counter-surfaces of the free ends and/or tensioning device interact in a sliding manner, to convert the tensioning force into a clamping force perpendicular thereto. The sloping surfaces are designed in such a way that the slope angle is smaller in a region farther away from the closed end than in a region which is nearer thereto. The sloping surfaces and counter-surfaces thus maintain maximum contact in all positions during the entire clamping movement, which minimizes point-type contact pressure loading.
