Fixture for use in establishing electrical connection with a disposable skin electrode
First Claim
1. A fixture for use in establishing electrical connection between a banana plug mounted on a cable and a metal snap fastener on a disposable skin electrode, characterized in that said fixture comprises a body consisting essentially of elastic plastic material having formed therein a resiliently expandable opening means for receiving a metal snap fastener and a passage means formed in said body substantially perpendicular to the axis of and in communication with said opening means and being open at both ends for receiving a banana plug, said opening means being of such extent in the axial direction and located relative to said passage means that a metal snap fastener when applied to said fixture extends through said opening means and protrudes into the passage means and is in direct electrical contact with a banana plug when a banana plug is inserted into either end of the passage means and wherein said fixture can rotate about the metal snap fastener when the metal snap fastener is received in said opening means.

Abstract
A fixture for use in establishing electrical contact between a banana plug mounted on a cable and a snap fastener on a disposable skin electrode comprises a bottom flange provided with a sleeve adapted to receive the banana plug. A resiliently expandable through hole formed at the bottom of the fixture makes it possible to snap the fixture over the snap fastener of the skin electrode, with the through hole being of length so that the snap fastener will protrude into the passage and establish electrical contact with a banana plug inserted therein.
