Abstract
A ring-shapped body (1) with a tubular projection (2) for connecting the cable (3), having radial interrupted branch (4) which forms adjacent extremities (5 and 6). In the present disposition, the fixing of said terminal around the battery pole (10) is made by a lever shapped locking device (8) which is articulated on the ring-shapped body (1) by a link-pin (7) and movable from the 'open' to the 'closed' position. The said lever (8) connects itself in a projection in order to lightly close the ring-shapped body around the battery pole (10) when said lever is at the 'closed' position.
Description
Descriptive report of utility patent Model " BATTERY CABLE TERMINAL DISPOSITION " .
This patent has for subject a model of ba tery cable terminal belonging to the field of the automo tive vehicles accessories to which was given an original constructive disposition so as to improve its performan¬ ce and way of utilization in comparison to the already ' known ones.
There are very commonly known battery ca. ble terminals which consist basically of a ring-shapped1 body which has a radial coplanar tubular prolongation,to which are set the extremity of the cable and the ring- ' shapped body itself, also having a radial interrupted ' branch which defines two adjacent extremities on which1 there are respective tangacial lined screw wads so as to connect the screw when tightened, the screw makes the ring-shapped body close lightly around the battery pole where it stays conviniently held.
Although very commonly used, the battery' cable terminal above described does not work efficiently due to the need of handling the screw with the help of a screw driver to connect it to or disconnect it from ' the battery pole. This makes the operation above descri¬ bed difficult and hard to be acomplished, particularly ' when the poles and the cable present verdigris, what is very common.
In order to overcome this difficulty we developed a new battery cable terminal disposition which basically consists of a metalic ring-shapped body which has incorporated in it a radial coplanar tubular prolon-
gation whith fits the battery cable and also has a radi¬ al interrupted branch which defines two adjacent extremi ties, on one of them there is a lever-shapped locking de vice. The locking device at the "closed" position connec ts and fixes itself, by pressure, at a prolongation on the other extremity of the ring-shapped body and makes ' it close lightly around the battery pole.
This terminal disposition solves the pro-' blems observed at the common terminals in as much as it makes the using of tools unnecessary to connect it to or disconect it from the battery poles. Morrover, it also prevents the jammings caused by verdigris, what makes ' the fixing and or maintaining operations easier to be ! handled at this part of the feeding electrical system.
The attached illustrations show the new ' battery cable terminal disposition.
- illustration n.l : shows a preferred dis position of the terminal at the "open"po sition
- illustration n.2 : shows the έabove men¬ tioned disposition at the "closed" posi. tion
- illustration n.3 : shows the terminal in the plan shape
- illustration n.4 : shows a A-A section ' indicated at illustration n.3
- illustration n.5 : shows a B-B section ' indicated at illustration n.l - illustration n.6 : shows another possibi lity of building the terminal in the ' plan shape
- illustration n.7 : shows the terminal of illustration n.4 seen by side. According tb the illustration above, the battery cable terminal disposition consists of building' the terminal from a metalic ring-shapped body conductor' of electricity (1) which has a radial coplanar tubular '
prolongation (2) which connects the battery cable (3); ' said ring-shapped body (1) has a radial interrupted bran ch (4) which forms two adjacent extremities (5 and 6).On said ring-shapped body (1) stays, fixed by a link-pin, ' (7) a lever-shapped locking device (8) which can be mo ved angularly from the "open" to the "closed" position. At the "closed" position the lever-shapped locking devi¬ ce (8) connects and fixes itself by pressure at the opo site side of the ring-shapped body (9) making it close ' lightly around the battery pole (10).
At a preferred construction of the battery terminal disposition as show illustrations n.l and n.2 , the adjacent extremities (5 and 6) show correspondent ' pairs of external coplanar radial prolongations (11 and' 12) which define the respective spaces (13 and 14) bet, ween them.
In space (13), between one of the pairs of prolongation (11) stays extremity of a lever-shapped lθ£ king device (8), fixed to the pair of prolongations (11) by a link-pin (7), the oposite extremity of said lever-' shapped locking device (8), at the "closed" position,con nects itself in space (14) between the other pair of pro longations (12). Said extremity of the lever (8) has a coplanar plate-shapped prolongation (15) which stays out projected and crossed in relation to the locking pair of prolongations (12). Said prolongation (15) has an ortho gonal edge in relation to the lever (8) and is incurva-' ted (16) in relation to the external edge of curve (17)' of prolongation (12) and fits, slides and compresses the external edge of curve (17) what makes the ring-shapped' body (1) close lightly and be fixed around the battery ' pole (10). At the end of he extent of motion of said in curvated edge of the lever (8), on the external edge ' (17)of the prolongation (12) there are two carvings to the which said orthogonal edges (16) of the lever (8)are connected, making the battery cable terminal be closed '
and fixed around the battery pole (10) .
At another preferred construction of the battery cable terminal as show illustrations n.2, 3 and 4, the adjacent extremities (5 and 6) of the ring-snap-' ped body (1) show external coplanar radial correspondent prolongations (11' and 12'). On the free extremity of one the prolongations stays a link-pin (7' ) of the loc_ king device (8' ) . Between the two said extremities stays the prolongation (11' )and such extremities and the pro-' longation (11' ) are interconnected by the link-pin (7' ) the transversal branch of the U-shapped locking device ' stays at the side of the other prolongations of the ring shapped body (12'). When the locking device is taken to the "closed" position, the internal edge of said trans-' versal branch (16') slides and compresses the correspon¬ dent edge of curve (17') of said prolongation (12') of the extremity of the ring-shapped body which so closes ' lightly around the battery pole (10).
There is another possibility or disposing the battery cable terminal which is the following:
Instead of moving angularly and coplanar- ly in relation to the ring-shapped body (l)as described' previously,the U-shapped locking device (8'')moves ortho gonally in relation to said ring shapped body (1) as sho wed at illustrations (6 and 7).So, at this possibility ' of disposing the battery cable terminal,at the region of the ring-shapped body (l)oposite to the region where the re is the interrupted branch (4)and symmetrical to said1 interrupted branch (4)there are projections (19), on which stay, fixed by an articulation (7' '),the extremi-' ties of the paralel branches of said U-shapped locking ' device (811), as the oposi e extremities of said paralel branches, next to the transversal branch, have internal' ■ incurvated surfaces (16' ') which when the U-shapped deyi ce is moved to the "closed",position, slide and compress correspondent external surfaces (17'')of two projections
(20) in correspondent radial prolongations (ll"and 12')of the ring-shapped body (1), providing a light closing of said ring-shapped body around the battery pole (10) . At the below part of said external surface curves (17' ') ' of projections (20) there are respective carvings 18'') which connects correspondent internal surface curves ' (16'') of the U-shapped body (8' '), keeping it at the "closed" position, fixing the terminal around the batte ry pole (10). So, which the presented battery cable ter minal disposition it is only necessary to use the han¬ ds to connect it to or disconnect it from the battery ' pole without the need of using tools to accomplish the work.
To cap it all, the radial receiver projec: tion (2) of the cable (3) has a radial opening with an external protection (21) and receives a fixing rivet ' (22) to fix the terminal to the cable.
