Abstract

The connector comprises a terminal (1) that includes two half split sections (11). A conical orifice (2) is provided to be located over the battery terminal (3). A hinged cover (13) is provided such that closure causes the split halves to grip the battery terminal. Retention means (9,10) serve to keep the cover in place.

Connecteur de sécurité ultra rapide aux bornes de batterie Automobiles et Poids-Lourds Les problèmes que nous rencontrons avec les cosses de batteries d'automobiles disponibles actuellement sont, pour une catégorie de cosse, qu'il faut nécessairement recourir à un petit outillage pour connecter/déconnecter les bornes de la batterie Par l'effet de l'oxidation des bornes, la déconnexion est rendue plus difficile, au risque de détériorer la borne de la batterie elle-même Un autre procédé nettement plus rapide, consiste en une partie vissable en plastique. Ce procédé peut rendre souvent, là aussi 1lla déconnexion difficile par l'effet de grippage de la vis plastique, et néssecite lui aussi, l'usage d'un outil pour  Ultra-fast safety connector to the battery terminals for cars and trucks The problems that we encounter with the lugs of automobile batteries currently available are, for a category of terminal, that it is necessary to use a small tool to connect / disconnect the battery terminals By the effect of the oxidation of the terminals, disconnection is made more difficult, at the risk of damaging the battery terminal itself Another significantly faster process, consists of a screwable plastic part . This process can often make it again difficult to disconnect it by the seizing effect of the plastic screw, and also necessitates the use of a tool to

Ce dispositif se compose de deux parties principales. L'une en 301aiton, matériaux le plus couramment utilisé dans ce domaine (1)  This device consists of two main parts. One in 301 brass, the most commonly used material in this field (1)

L'extrémité de la partie métallique recevant le cablage, est pourvue d'une concavité horizontale,(4), suffisamment prononcée pour centrer le cable en le maintenant solidement au moyen d'une barrette (5), elle- même maintenue par 2 vis, (6).5 Le dispositif utilise, en ce qui concerne la partie métallique, la flexibilité du métal pour assurer le désacouplage lorsque le couvercle est relevé. Ainsi, la connexion ne peut être correcte aux bornes de la batterie, qu'une fois le couvercle abaisser à fond et après obtention d'un enclenchement produit à la fois par10 les 2 renflements intérieurs du couvercle/fermoir plastique, (9), et les 2 alvéoles latérales qui leur correspondent sur la partie métallique (10), du dispositif, rendant ainsi l'ensemble solidaire. Pour la partie en alliage de plastique, celle-ci est amovible15 articulée sur un axe à une extrémité lui permettant de basculer, soit en avant pour déverrouiller l'ensemble, soit en arrière,en  The end of the metal part receiving the wiring, is provided with a horizontal concavity, (4), pronounced enough to center the cable by holding it securely by means of a bar (5), itself held by 2 screws , (6) .5 The device uses, as far as the metal part is concerned, the flexibility of the metal to ensure uncoupling when the cover is raised. Thus, the connection can only be correct at the battery terminals, once the cover is lowered fully and after obtaining a snap produced by both the 2 internal bulges of the plastic cover / clasp, (9), and the 2 lateral cells which correspond to them on the metal part (10) of the device, thus making the assembly integral. For the plastic alloy part, this is removable15 articulated on an axis at one end allowing it to tilt, either forwards to unlock the assembly, or backwards,

This plastic cover is hollowed out in order to completely envelop the metal part and ensuring good isolation security, either bodily, or with the bodywork and other object inadvertently left on the battery.

The solidity of the cover / clasp is increased, by incorporating in its molding, a steel "core" (12), taking by two points on the axis of rotation, traversing the cover on the 8/10 of its length, of which 2 "branches" descend to the places where the 2 interior lateral bosses (9) are formed, this to ensure perfect resistance to time, and solidity at break appreciable
