UNITED STATES PATENT OFF] GEORGE J. OCKER; OF TROXELVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
BATTERY CONNECTION.
Application filed Jane 24, 1925. Serial No. 39,269.
This invention relates to electrical terminal connectors and more particularly to that class of connectors especially adapted for use in connecting the leads or coiuluctors to the terminal posts of a storage battery.
The object of this invention is to provide a connector of the type above referred to that is capable of quick attachment or detachment with the terminal post and further is so designed thatthe same can be applied by hand without the use of tools.
More specifically this invention contemplates a battery post connector including a pair of hinged jaws adapted to receive the terminal post and a clamping bolt and wing nut for retaining the connector on the post, the clamping bo1tand wi ng nut being so positioned on the hinged jaws to afford ready access thereto and be remote from the point when the connector will most likely become corroded. f Vith the above and other objects in view this invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts illustrated inthe jects through accompanying drawings and described in the following specification.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector attached to a terminal post;
Figure 2 is a vertical section of the improved connector and Figure 3 is a view in elevation of the con nector. I w Referring to the parts by reference nu merals, and 11 designate generally the connector'jaws, the jaw 10 having formed integrally therewith a tubular socket 12 for the reception of the end of the lead or conductor 13. This jaw 10 also carries a trans? verse pin 14 that in turn has pivotally mounted thereon a .bolt 15. The jaw 11 has projecting'from the upper edge thereof a tongue 16 which is provided with a retaining hook-shaped lip 17, the latter being po- SliZiOIlBCl' behind a pin 18 that is fixedly carried by the jaw 10 adjacent the upper edge of the same. 'As previously set forth the clamping bolt is'pivotally connected to the jaw 10 by means of the pin 14 and prothe slot 19 in the jaw 11 so that a wing nut 20. may be threaded on the protruding end of the bolt 15 and by engagement with the outer face of the jaw 11 move the jaws together.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the tongue 16,lip 17 and pin 18 form a hinge means for the jaws 10 and 11 and the bolt' 15 and wing nut provide a means to move the jaws into engagementor allow for their disengagement with a terminal post. As illustrated to an advantage in Figure 1,- the jaws 10 and 11 are arcuate in crosssection and thereby providea socket like eonnector which caps the terminal pOstthus assuring proper conductivity. Further; the bolt and wing nut are positioned an appreciable distance from the lower-most edges of the jaws thereby removing the same from the area most likely to be corroded and thus providing a ready accessible hand operated clampingmeans should the connector become corroded as is so often the case of storage battery connectors.
Due to the hinge connection provided by the hook-shaped lip 17 and thepin 18, this device can be assembled with'the minimum efi'orh' When assembling, the free end of the bolt 15 isprojected through the slot 19 in the jaw 11 and the lip 17 assed over and behind the pin 17. the wing nut 20 then being threaded on the bolt 15 and intp engagement with-the jaw 11. Obviously tQ disassemble all that is necessary is to remove the wing nut 20 from the bolt 15, retain the jaws in close proximity and inove the jaw 11 vertically relatively to the jaw 10 which movement will disengage the hook shaped lip 17 from the pin 18.
I claim An electrical connector including a pair of complemental jaws adapted to receive a terminal post, one of said jaws having a transverse pin adjacent the upper end thereof, the other of said jaws provided at its upper end witha tongue terminating in a hook-shaped.- lip positioned behind said pin on said first-mentioned jaw to hingedly connect said jaws, a bolt carried by one of said jaws and extending through the other of said jaws and. a nut on said belt for engagement with one of said jaws to move said jaws together.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
