Abstract
A battery snap including an insulative plate covered within an insulative covering to hold two conductive rivets within the insulative covering, the insulative plate and the insulative covering having terminal holes through which the cylindrical rivet body of either conductive rivet protrudes, a cylindrical plug and a cylindrical socket respectively fastened to the cylindrical rivet body of either conductive rivet outside the insulative covering through rivet joints for connecting the socket and plug terminals of the battery to be connected, each conductive rivet having a horizontal extension strip with symmetrical wing leaves at one side for fastening the conductor of a respective electric wire being inserted through a wire hole on the insulative covering from the outside.
Claims1
A battery snap comprising:
- a plate made from a non-conductive material in a flat shape, having two terminal holes spaced according to the pitch between the socket and plug terminals on either end of the battery to be connected;
- two conductive rivets, each conductive rivet comprising a cylindrical rivet body upstanding from a flat head thereof at the center, and a horizontal extension strip with symmetrical wing leaves at one side for fastening the conductor of a respective electric wire , the rivet body of each rivet being received in a respective terminal hole of said plate;
- a cylindrical plug fastened to the cylindrical rivet body of one of said two conductive rivets for connecting the socket terminal of the battery, said cylindrical plug comprising an outward horizontal flange and an inward horizontal flange respectively extended from a hollow cylindrical plug body thereof at the bottom, and a center through hole through the inward horizontal flange through which the cylindrical rivet body is inserted and then hammered down to form another head;
- a cylindrical socket fastened to the cylindrical rivet body of the other one of said two conductive rivets for connecting the plug terminal of the battery, said cylindrical socket comprising a center through hole through which the cylindrical rivet body is inserted and then hammered down to form another head, and petaled border portion around a socket body thereof at the top;
- and
- an insulative covering comprised of an upper portion and a lower portion peripherally sealed to hold said insulative plate and said conductive rivets on the inside and having a wire hole for inserting the electric wires, said upper portion having terminal holes through which the cylindrical rivet body of either conductive rivet passes.
