Description

Filed March 24, 19 28 IN V EN TOR.
ATTORNE (Verna! D! Z] ments carried in a suita adapted, respectively,
BATTERY CONNEGTER-CLMING application filed. March 24-, 19. 38.
This invention relates to cleaners for battery terminals and connecters, provide a compact, simple and object is to and the main economical device embodying separate eleroded and incrusted nnnals and connecte Another ob ect 1S ble container and 3501' cleaning the cormatter from battery terrs.
to provide in a device of the character mentioned male and female cleaning elements including brush like members formed of steel inserted on battery connecters and rota ments from rust, sc
incrusted substances.
An object is to so ments that they may their supporting de cleaning, rep-air or wire and arranged tobe terminals and in battery ted for freeing such eleale or other corroded or arrange the cleaning elebe readily removed from vices for the purpose of replacement. Other objects will appear as the description progresses.
I have shown a preferred form of device in the accompanying drawing, SUbJQCl) to modification within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.
In said drawing:
Fig. 1 is a bled device, partly i Fig. 2 is perspective View of the assemn section;
a perspective View of a suitable battery terminal cleaning element, prior to insertion in -Fig. 3 is a perspective View retainer for the b shpwn in Fig. 2;
Fig
a suitable holder for use.
of a suitable attery terminal cleaner 4 is a perspective view of a form of battery connecteror cleaner shown in operative position with respect to a con nectcr during a cleaning operation.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the battery terminal cleaner and holder operatively positioned with respectt o a battery terminal, during a cleaning operation.
Briefly described sist of a cylindrical operatively support to further support a my improvements conhol'der which serves to a terminal cleaner B, and connecter cleaner C when the same is not in use.
. The cleaning element B"1S formed of a brush like member composed oi: Wire bristles o firmly mounted on strip 6 of leather circular form within a retainer ring retainer is of thin readily bent and pr and attached to a flexible or fabric, and bent into l3. The metal capable of being et'erably of spring metal Serial No, 264,355.
that the tension thereof will and split at 2 so closely lit the interior or the in the retainer.
The element B is removably but stationari- P ly held in the lower end of the holder A by means of a pair of slit segments 6, 6 formed in the Wall 7 of the holder which are adapted to seat in correspondingly formed peripheral slots 8, 8 in the wall of the retainer 13, as shown in Fig. 1. In lieu of the portions 6 and slots 7 I may provide slight indentations in the wall 7 of the holder which will cause portions to protrude inwardly, and corresponding apertures or indentations may be formed in the retainer ring to receive the, same. In any event it is only necessary to" prevent the upward thrust of the ring in the holder and the rotation thereof during a cleaning operation.
The holder A is open at both ends and may be provided midway of its ends with a knurled portion by means of which the holder may be rotated during a cleaning operation for moving the cleaner B over the battery terminal T, as shown in Fig. 3. v
The cleaner C is adapted for use in connection with a battery connector D and is composed of a twisted wire stem 10 and a helical brush 11 formed of wire bristles held between the twists of the stem and trimmed so as to provide a round brush reamer. The upper end of the stem 10 maybe threaded into or otherwise suitably secured to a supporting member C which may serve as a closure for the upper open end of the holder A, as shown in i 1.
Saiil holder has a knurled knob 12, a flange 13 which overlies the end of the holder A and a depending annular portion 14 which extends downwardly into the holder. The member C may be frictionally held in the holder A. by means of one or more indentations 15, 15, and corresponding indentations 16 formed in the wall of the holder and the portion. 14, respectively.
The holder A serves as a suitable handle may be turned 3' member for the terminal cleaner or operatin 1) and as a carrier for both of the cleaners l3 and C. The internal diameter of the brush 7) of cleaner B is slightly less than that of the terminal T so that the brush may be forced downwardly over the terminal and turned baclnvardly and forwardly, or in a single direction. The n'iovement of the brush 7) over the terminal T will effectively clean the same of scale or other incrusted substances which accumulate thereon during the use of the battery E. v
The cleaner 1) may be contracted substantially when the brush 7) is mounted therein so that the assembled element 1) may be inserted in the lower end of the holder A and forced upwardly until the portions 6 seat in the slots 8. Thereafter the tension of member 13 will expand the ring and hold the same in position in the holder and in readiness for use.
The cleaner C is a type of reamer which is adapted to be inserted in and turned within the opening of the connecter D, as shown in Fig. 4. As the brush 11 thereof is forced downwardly through and turned in the connecter the wall of the connecter will be cleaned effectively, as in the case of the clean er B. The stem 10 and brush 11 of the element 0 may be removed from its holder C and replaced when necessary.
A I have found that in many cases a cleaner of this type is more satisfactory than a shaver or metal reamer for the reason that the terminals and connecters are not unnecessarily trimmed of metal, and such elements may be thoroughly freed of inerusted substances without greatly impairing the parts cleaned.
What I claim is: 1. A cleanerof the characterdescribed comprising a holder, a retainer ring held therein, and a wire brush removably held in said retainer and. arranged for operative connection with a battery terminal for removing the incrusted substances therefrom.
2. A device of the character described comprising a cylindrical holder, a flexible wire brush bent into annular form with the bristles thereof extended inwardly and forming an opening for the reception of a member to be cleaned thereby, and a retainer ring for said brush removably supported in said holder.
3. A device of the character described comprising a. holder having an opening therein, a split retaining ring removably and securely held therein, a flexible wire brush bent into annular form within and supported by said ring, said brush having the bristles thereof extended inwardly and forming an opening for the reception of a member to be cleaned.
4. A device of the character described comprising a holder having an opening therein and portions extended inwardly into said opening, a split metal retaining ring removably held in said opening, and having apertures engaged by said inwardly extended portions for rendering the ring immovable in said holder, and wire brush of annular form removably held in said ring arranged for engagement with the periphery of a member adapted to be inserted in said brush.
5. device of the character described comprising a cylindrical holder, a closure for an end of said, holder including a handle arranged to support a brush within said cylinder, means to hold a brush in the other end of said cylinder, said closure and handle being removable from the cylinder for using the attached brush.
