Devices, systems, and methods for increasing terminal electrical contact
First Claim
1. A system for increasing terminal electrical contact, comprising:
- a first tuning fork terminal end extendable on a first plane and including a first prong and a second prong both extending from a joined first end to respective distal ends and forming a first gap therebetween;
a second tuning fork terminal end extendable on a second plane and including a third prong and a fourth prong both extending from a joined second end to respective distal ends and forming a second gap therebetween;
wherein the first plane and the second plane are substantially perpendicular; and
wherein the distal ends of the first and second prongs are configured to contact the second end of the second tuning fork, and the distal ends of the third and fourth prongs are configured to contact the first end of the first tuning fork.

Abstract
A system for increasing terminal electrical contact may include a first tuning fork terminal extendable on a first plane, and may include a first prong and a second prong both extending from a joined first end to respective distal ends and may form a first gap therebetween. The system may further include a second tuning fork terminal extendable on a second plane and may include a third prong and a fourth prong both extending from a joined second end to respective distal ends and may form a second gap therebetween. The first plane and the second plane may be substantially perpendicular. The distal ends of the first and second prongs may be configured to contact the second end of the second tuning fork, and the distal ends of the third and fourth prongs may be configured to contact the first end of the first tuning fork.

11. A method for increasing terminal electrical contact, comprising:
attaching a first tuning fork terminal to a second tuning fork terminal, wherein; the first tuning fork terminal includes a first prong and a second prong both extending from a joined first end to respective distal ends and forming a first gap therebetween; the second tuning fork terminal includes a third prong and a fourth prong both extending from a joined second end to respective distal ends and forming a second gap therebetween; and the first and second gaps being configured such that the first tuning fork terminal is insertable substantially perpendicular with respect to the second tuning fork terminal; and wherein the distal ends of the first and second prongs are configured to contact the second end of the second tuning fork, and the distal ends of the third and fourth prongs are configured to contact the first end of the first tuning fork. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
