ABSTRACT:
A connector which is used to electrically connect one or more cables with the post of a battery has two jaws which are integral at one of their ends and define a gap with their other ends. The median portions of the jaws define an opening for the post. The other ends of the jaws are movable relative to each other to thereby deform the jaws and move their median portions into and from engagement with a post in the opening. Such movements are effected by a screw or nut which is accessible from the upper sides of the jaws and is rotatable about an axis which is parallel to the axis of the post in the opening. Conversion of rotary movements of the screw or nut into substantially translatory movements of the other ends and median portions of the jaws toward or away from each other is effected by a cam and follower assembly. The assembly can include a cam on the head of a non-rotatable screw and followers on the other ends of the jaws, a cam on one of the jaws and a follower on the other jaw, or a cam on a non-rotatable nut and followers on the other end portions of the jaws.
