Patent Images
1. An automobile battery clip comprising:
- a pair of substantially identical legs;
a pivot member joining said pair of legs;
a spring positioned about said pivot member and extending away from the pivot member toward the end of each of said pair of legs, which form a handle, to force the two opposite ends of said pair of legs into tight contact;
a pair of co-acting jaws fastened on the inner surface of the contacting ends of said legs with one jaw being connected to each of said legs so that said pair of jaws is normally biased in a tightly closed condition;
a cable clamp on one jaw of said pair of jaws; and
a heavy electrical conductor having one end held by said cable clamp and extending away from said clamp along the inside of one of said legs to an aperture formed in said leg approximately midway between the ends of said leg where said heavy electrical conductor is bent at approximately a 90°
angle to pass through the aperture in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of said leg.
