First Claim
1. An apparatus for making contact with a conical contact, in particular an end terminal of a battery for motor vehicles, which apparatus is manufactured from sheet metal by punching and shaping, comprising:
- two rings each including an internal contact making area and an opening on one side, the rings are connected to one another by means of two bent clips, one on either side of the openings such that said rings are positioned in stacked alignment with one another;
an eccentric member fastened rotatably to the clips and having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the conical contact, which cooperates with the clips for reducing the width of said openings, wherein, the two rings have different internal diameters in the non-stressed state and each ring has strips arranged on the external side of the rings, said strips being positioned on each ring so that the strips of each ring lie opposite the strips of the other ring, each said strip having a free end with a shape which is complementary to the free end of the respective opposite strip, and wherein the free ends of opposite strips bear one against the other.
