ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a quick release clamp for applying the laterally constrictable ears of a cable connector to the terminal of an electric storage battery. The clamp includes a bolt having a threaded shank terminating at one end in an enlarged head. The shank is dimensioned to extend through aligned holes in the connector ears, with the bolt head being located on the outermost side of one of the ears. A nut is threaded onto the bolt shank on the outermost side of the other of the connector ears. A cam lever is rotatably connected to the bolt, and is adjustable between a closed position cooperating with the bolt and nut to laterally urge the connector ears together to grip the battery terminal therebetween, and an open position permitting the connector ears to move away from each other to an extent sufficient to permit the cable connector to be removed from the terminal.
