ABSTRACT:
A connector for quickly clamping onto and releasing from an associated generally cylindrical battery post which includes a unitary metallic body having first and second elongated portions disposed in generally parallel spaced relationship with the first and second elongated portions having respective first and second cylindrical section shaped portions disposed therein in opposed relationship. The apparatus also includes the first and second opposed cylindrical section shaped portions biased toward each other, whereby good electrical contact is made with the associated generally cylindrical battery post. The apparatus also includes an oblong member disposed intermediate the first and second elongated portions which enables the connector to be easily removed from the associated battery post. The oblong member may be moveable between a first position which does not cause the first and second elongated portions to move apart and a second position which does cause the first and second elongated portions to move apart. The biasing of the connector may be provided by the temper of the material from which the unitary metallic body is manufactured. The opposed portions may have third and fourth generally arcuate opposed faces and the oblong member may be disposed between the third and fourth generally arcuate opposed faces.
