ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact assembly is provided which is capable of accommodating batteries for other electrical devices exhibiting a plurality of different physical sizes. A V-shaped contact arm having a hook-shaped member at one end thereof and a double torsion spring at the remaining end thereof is mounted to a battery housing surface. The double torsion spring end of the V-shaped member is mounted on a support post and is fixedly held in position such that the torsion spring does not freely rotate. The hook-shaped end of the V-shaped member is engaged by a second post adjacent to the first post so as to place the contact arm under tension. The tip of the V-shaped member thus forms an elbow which deflects to a greater or lesser degree depending upon the size of the electrical device to be contacted.
