Battery jumper cables with integral wire brush
First Claim
1. A battery jumper system for cleaning battery terminals and grounded jumper connections, said battery jumper system comprising:
- first and second cables;
a plurality of first clamp bodies mated at each end of said first cable;
a plurality of second clamp bodies mated at each end of said second cable; and
,a plurality of brush assemblies attached to said first and second clamp bodies respectively;
wherein said first and second clamp bodies and said brush assemblies are formed from electrically conductive materials and thereby conduct electric current between said first and second cables respectively;
wherein each of said first and second clamp bodies comprises first and second jaws; and
,wherein an upper surface of said first jaw and a bottom surface of said second jaw shield said first and second clamp bodies in such a manner that external fluid and debris are not penetrable through said upper surface of said first jaw and said bottom surface of said second jaw.

Abstract
Motor vehicle jumper cables comprising an integral wire brush mounted on an interior portion of the clamp assemblies is herein disclosed. The jumper cables with the wire brush are to be motioned to remove battery terminal corrosion, thereby providing for a better electrical connection. The device resembles a standard pair of jumper cables used to aid in jump-starting a motor vehicle with a dead battery and comprises a small wire brush located inside of each jaw area. The bristles are made of conductive steel or copper of a sufficient stiffness to clean any corrosion from the battery terminals as the clamps are being installed. Due to the conductive nature of the bristles, current will flow through the bristles as well as the clamp body, thus improving charging and starting ability.
