J. KISTER BATTERY TERMINAL FULLER Filed May 1. 1924 i WK--7; I '23 Patented Sept. 8, 1925.

UNITED STATES JAKE KISTER, OF HASTINGS, NEBRASKA.

BATTERY-TERMINAL PULLER.

Application filed May 1,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAKE KISTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hastin' s, in the county of Adams and State of Ne raska, have invented a new and useful Battery-Terminal Puller, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tool designed primarily for removing terminals from the terminal posts of batteries. I It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple form of tool which can be operated to out under the terminal to which the tool is applied and, after being properly applied thereto, can be actuated to force th terminal off of the post. 1

A further object is to provide a tool of thischaracter which can be easily manipulated and will adapt itself automatically to the terminal and thereto.

With the foregoing and other objects in post while being applied view which will appear as the description 3 reference 1 design proceeds, the invention resides in the combi-- nation and arrangement of parts and in th details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed' may be inade with in the scope of what is claimed without departin from the spirit of the invention.

In t e accom anying drawings the preferred form 0 the invention has been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of the tool, one of the positions thereof relative to the terminal and lines.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 33, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a bottom lan view.

Referring to the gures by characters of ates a cross head having a central boss 2. The ends of the cross head are forced and pivotally mounted in these ends are arms 3 the free ends of which are provided with cutting jaws 4 rojecting toward each other. Each of thes jaws, as shown articular] in Fig. 4, has a straight edge, t ese straig t or cutting edges of the two jaws being parallel.

Shdably mounted within the boss 2 and cross head 1 is a sleeve 5 one end of which is screw threaded, as shown at 6 for engagement by a hand wheel 7 adapted to bear post being indicated by broken 1924. Serial No. 710,412.

against the boss 2. The other end of this sleeve is preferably, although not HBCGS'.

' screw threads at 10 for engagement with the threaded portion 11 of a screw 12. -:One end of this screw is provided with a head 13 whereby it can be rotated readily while the other endof the screw has a foot 14 supported between the arms 3.

In using thisscrew the hand wheel 7 is screwed upwardly along the sleeve 6-so as to allow the cross head 1 to slide upwardly along th sleeve. This will, obviously, result 1n the links 8 swinging upwardlyabove their points of connection with the sleeve 5 so that the arms? will be swung apart as shown, for example, by full lines in Fig. 1. The tool is then applied to a terminal post with the jaws 4 at opposite sides of but below the terminal. The hand wheel 7 is then screwed downwardly on the sleeve 6 and will .causethe cross head 1 to thrust against the arms 3 and cause them to swing inwardl toward each other at the lower ends. hus the sharp ed es of the jaws 4 will out under the termina T until the jaws the post P. After the-jaws have thus been applied the screw 12 is rotated to force the foot 14 against the post P and this 0 eration is continued until the jaws 4 pul upwardly on the terminals T to cause it to slide along the post until finally removed therefrom. It will be noted that thefoot 145 is of a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the post P so that the terminals T can be pulled upwardly onto the foot.

ith this device terminals can be quickly removed and it will be obvious that, by reason of the simple construction of the tool, the same can be easily applied and will act efficiently under all conditions.

What is claimed is A tool of the class described including an elongated sleeve exteriorly screw threaded at one end and interiorly screw threaded at direction, oppositely extending airs of links pivoteily connected to that en portion of the sleeve which is interioriy screw threaded, arms pivotally connected to the cross head and having inwardly extending jaws at their free ends, said arms being pivotally connected to the respective pairs of links,

and an elongated screw ngagingv flie interior threads in the sleeve and projecting beyond the ends of the s1eeve,.e foot at one end of the screw, and a head at the other end thereof. i

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto" afixed my signature.
