Abstract
A connecting terminal for a storage battery is disclosed. The connecting terminal includes a fixation plate having a bolt hole extending therethrough; a fixation member insertable into the bolt hole of said fixation plate; a rounded insertion member extending from said fixation plate and having upper and lower elastic bodies defining an insertion hole, the upper and lower elastic bodies each having flanged portions extending toward one another; and a tightening member extending from said insertion member.
Claims13
A connecting terminal assembly for a storage battery, comprising:
- a fixation plate having an aperture extending therethrough;
- a fixation member having a first portion insertable into the aperture of said fixation plate;
- an insertion member extending from said fixation plate and having upper and lower elastic bodies spaced from one another to define a gap therebetween, the upper and lower elastic bodies defining an insertion hole therein, the upper and lower elastic bodies each having flanged portions extending toward one another;
- and
- a tightening member extending from said insertion member, said tightening member comprising two opposing body members having a transversely oriented tightening hole extending therethrough and configured to receive a tightening fastener therein, and a fold portion formed into the body members to inhibit deformation of the tightening member when the fastener is adjusted to move the upper and lower elastic bodies of the insertion member relative to one another and thereby adjust the diameter of the insertion hole.

A connecting terminal assembly for a storage battery comprising:
- a first portion for connecting the connecting terminal assembly to a connection terminal member;
- an insertion member extending from said first portion and having upper and lower elastic bodies spaced from one another to define a gap therebetween, the upper and lower elastic bodies defining an insertion hole therein for accepting a battery post terminal therein, the upper and lower elastic bodies each having flanged portions having a curved profile and extending toward one another;
- and
- a tightening member extending from said insertion member and comprising two opposing body members configured to be adjustably spaced apart to move the upper and lower elastic bodies of the insertion member relative to one another and thereby adjust the diameter of the insertion hole, the tightening member further comprising a fold portion formed into the body members to inhibit deformation of the tightening member when the fastener is adjusted to move the upper and lower elastic bodies of the insertion member relative to one another and thereby adjust the diameter of the insertion hole.
