19 TERMINAL CONNECTOR CLAMP Abstract A terminal connector includes a rotatable member having a first inclined surface offset from the axis of rotation and a fixed member with a second inclined surface. Rotation of the rotatable member relative to the fixed member causes contact between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface to press the battery cable terminal to the buttery terminal. A terminal connector clamp for top post batteries includes opposing, first and second terminal connector flanges and aligned apertures in the flanges adapted for the reception of a connecting shaft. A connecting shaft having a long axis is adapted for placement through the apertures and has at one end a stop member adapted to engage an outside surface of the first connector flange. The rotatable member is operatively connected to an opposite end of the connecting shaft and is rotatable substantially about the long axis of the connecting shaft. A fixed member is operatively engaged to an outside surface of the second connector flange and has a second inclined surface, the second inclined surface being substantially juxtaposed to the first inclined surface. Rotation of the rotatable member causes sliding contact between the respective inclined surfaces, and axial movement of the fixed member and the second connector flange away from the rotatable member and toward the first connector flange to close the connector flanges against the terminal post. The invention can be provided as an add-on device for existing terminal connector clamps, as an integral terminal connector clamp construction, or a buttery cable construction. A second embodiment is disclosed for batteries with side post terminals.
