BATTERY CLAMP
First Claim
1. A clamp for providing an electrical connection to a battery comprising:
- a first arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and an electrically conductive member at the distal end;
a second arm having a proximal end, and a distal end;
a joint member;
a first pivotable connection between the joint member and the first arm defining a first axis about which the first arm is configured to rotate relative to the joint member; and
a second pivotable connection between the joint member and the second arm defining a second axis about which the second arm is configured to rotate relative to the joint member;
wherein the first and second axes are displaced from each other in a direction that is perpendicular to the first axis.

Abstract
A clamp for providing an electrical connection to a battery includes a first arm, a second arm, a joint member, a first pivotable connection, and a second pivotable connection. The first arm includes a proximal end, a distal end, and an electrically conductive member at the distal end. The second arm includes a proximal end and a distal end. The first pivotable connection is between the joint member and the first arm, and defines a first axis, about which the first arm rotates relative to the joint member. The second pivotable connection is between the joint member and the second arm, and defines a second axis, about which the second arm rotates relative to the joint member. The first and second axes are displaced from each other in a direction that is perpendicular to the first axis.

15. A clamp for providing an electrical connection to a battery comprising:
-
a first arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and an electrically conductive member at the distal end; a second arm having a proximal end, and a distal end; a joint member; a first pivotable connection between the joint member and the first arm defining a first axis about which the first arm is configured to rotate relative to the joint member; a second pivotable connection between the joint member and the second arm defining a second axis about which the second arm is configured to rotate relative to the joint member; a biasing mechanism supported by the joint member and configured to bias the distal ends of the first and second arms toward each other; and an electrical cable that is electrically coupled to the conductive member; wherein; the first and second axes are substantially parallel to each other; and the first and second axes are displaced from each other in a direction that is perpendicular to the first axis. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
