  • Patent number: 8177588
    Abstract: A battery contact terminal assembly for electrically connecting the conducting end of a cable to a battery post so that the mechanical and electrical connection can be effectively ensured. The assembly includes two hingedly mounted members with semicircle ends each that embrace the post when a fastening member tightens the free ends. The fastening members include a hook that pulls the conducting end against one of the members. An anti-corrosion member is sandwiched between the two free ends for protection against the electrolyte chemical reaction typical in batteries.

  • Patent number: 7530857
    Abstract: A connector for a terminal of a battery includes an elastically deformable clamping member that receives the terminal of the battery. A lever is moveable relative to the clamping member between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lever applies a clamping force to the clamping member in the unlocked position. A locking element engages the lever in the locked position to prevent movement thereof. The locking element is elastically deformable such that the locking element releases the lever when the clamping member receives the terminal of the battery so that the lever is moveable to the unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 7374464
    Abstract: A battery terminal including a base configured to selectably engage a terminal tongue. An annular electrode-engaging portion is configured to receive a battery post, one end of the electrode-engaging portion extending contiguously from the base. An opposite end of the electrode-engaging portion terminates at a nonplanar member adjacent to the base. A lever-holding portion extends from the base toward the nonplanar member. A lever is pivotably connected to the lever-holding portion about an axis, the lever having a cam-shaped portion. In response to pivotal motion of the lever toward a closed position, the cam-shaped portion is urged into contact with the nonplanar member, the nonplanar member pivoting about an end along the base to resiliently draw the electrode-engaging portion into a gripping arrangement for engagement with the battery post.

  • Patent number: 6875061
    Abstract: An electrical clip connector has a terminal clip which is electrically mated to a ground stud by hand. The terminal clip is protected by an erogonomically friendly housing which supports the functional requirements of the terminal clip. The housing has a hoop portion which defines a through hole orientated concentrically to a bore defined by a resilient barrel segment of the terminal clip. Communicating transversely with the rough hole is a channel carried by a first portion of the housing which encases a first arm of the terminal clip engaged to a circumferential first end of the barrel segment. A second or activation arm of the terminal clip extends from an opposite end of the barrel segment and crosses over the first arm so that compression of the arms toward one-another causes the loop segment to enlarge for receipt of the ground stud. The second arm is encased by a second portion of the housing which is preferably hinged to the first portion near the hoop portion.

  • Patent number: 6478634
    Abstract: A terminal body is made of a conductive, resilient strip extending while forming an annular fitting portion having a first diameter which is smaller than a diameter of a battery post. An operating member is fitted with both end portions of the strip so as to movable between a first position in which the strip is retained such that the annular fitting portion has a second diameter which is larger than the diameter of the battery post, against a restoring force of the resilient strip, and a second position in which the restoring force is released. The battery post is fitted into the annular fitting portion of the terminal body while placing the operating member in the first position. The operating member is placed in the second position, after the terminal body is fitted on the battery post.

  • Patent number: 5503574
    Abstract: A battery cable connector connects a battery cable to a battery post. The connector comprises first and second outer connector portions and a third intermediate connector portion trapped between the first and second connector portions. The first and third connector portions have opposing battery post receiving recesses. The second connector portion is adjustably secured to the first connector portion by a threaded adjustment on which the third connector portion is slideably mounted. Also provided is a pusher member movable to and from a connector tightening position. The threaded adjustment provides an initial tightening of the connector around the post with the pusher member away from the tightening position. The pusher member is then moved to the tightening position where it pushes the third connector portion away from the second connector portion and towards the first connector portion to provide a tight fit of the first and third connector portions around the battery post.
