Abstract
A battery cable terminal for electrical connection with a terminal post of an electrical storage battery has an internally threaded, apertured platform electrically attached to and overlying a ring of preferably usual clamping formation so that a screw received by the aperture can be turned to bear against the exposed face of a battery terminal to which the ring is attached. The screw is provided with a cutting face at its terminal end for cutting into the exposed face of the battery terminal and making fresh electrical contact surface when turned to re-establish electrical contact between cable terminal and battery terminal.
Claims7
A battery cable terminal for establishing electrical connection with a terminal post of an electrical storage battery, comprising an electrically conductive terminal ring having means for electrical connection with a battery cable;
- an electrically conductive bracket electrically conductively associated with said terminal ring and providing a transverse platform member with an internally threaded aperture overlying the open interior portion of said terminal ring;
- and an electrically conductive screw member threadedly received by said aperture of the platform member of the bracket and having an end face adapted to bear against the exposed face of a terminal post of an electrical storage battery when said terminal ring is installed thereon and as said screw member is screwed toward said terminal ring, said end face of the screw member being provided with means for cutting into said exposed face of the terminal post when said screw is turned as it bears against said face, and said screw having means whereby it may be turned.
