First Claim
1. An electric storage battery connector assembly, comprising:
- (a) a male connector, comprising an elongate, generally cylindrical, electrically-conductive post having a fixed end for being attached to an electrical cable and a free end;
(b) a female connector electrically communicating with a terminal of a battery, said female connector being formed of an electrically-conductive material and having a recess therein for receiving therein the post of the male connector;
(c) cam means integrally-formed on the post of the male connector; and
(d) cam follower means carried in the recess of the female connector for cooperating with the cam means on the post of the male connector for relative rotational movement between an unlocked position where the post may be inserted into or removed from the recess in the female connector, and a locked position where the post is locked into the recess of the female connector against removal therefrom.

Abstract
An electric storage battery connector assembly, including a male connector, which includes an elongate, generally cylindrical, electrically-conductive post having a fixed end for being attached to an electrical cable and a free end. A female connector electrically communicates with a terminal of the battery. The female connector is formed of an electrically-conductive material and has a recess therein for receiving therein the post of the male connector. A cam is integrally-formed on the free end of the post of the male connector, and a cam follower is carried in the recess of the female connector for cooperating with the cam on the post of the male connector for relative rotational movement between the unlocked position where the post may be inserted into or removed from the recess in the female connector, and the locked position where the post is locked into the recess of the female connector against removal therefrom.
