First Claim
Patent Images
1. An alligator clip comprising:
- a pair of conductive gripping jaws attached to each other;
biasing means for biasing a first end of the conductive gripping jaws towards each other; and
a magnet disposed at the first end of one of the conductive gripping jawswherein each of the conductive gripping jaws is substantially ‘
U’
shaped, having first and second opposite side walls and a bottom wall and wherein the magnet is an interference fit between the first and second side walls.

Abstract
A magnetic alligator clip is described. The alligator clip comprising, a pair of conductive gripping jaws attached to each other, biasing means for biasing a first end of the conductive gripping jaws towards each other, and a magnet disposed at the first end of one of the conductive gripping jaws. Also described is an electrical lead having at least one wire, each of the wires having a magnetic alligator clip electrically connected at each end. An extension for the magnetic alligator clip is also described.
