CLAMP FOR A BATTERY JUMPER CABLE
First Claim
1. A clamp for a battery jumper cable comprising a first and second jaw, the first and second jaw each having a base, a front side, a right side and a left side, the front side of each jaw perpendicularly extending from and to the base of the jaw, the right side of each jaw perpendicularly extending from and to the base of the jaw, the left side of each jaw perpendicularly extending from and to the base of the jaw, the edge of the right side of each jaw having an arc shape, and the first jaw having a means of connecting to a cable so that an electrical current can flow through the first jaw and the cable;
- a first and second plastic handle pivotably connected at a point between the ends of the first and second handle, the first and second handle each being wider then the first and second jaw;
the first handle having the first jaw fastened to the end so that no part of the first jaw extends beyond the outside edge of the first handle, the second handle having the second jaw fastened to the end so that no part of the second jaw extends beyond the outside edge of the second handle; and
a closing device that applies pressure on the handles so that the first and second jaws are forced together.

A clamp for a battery jumper cable having jaws with offset front sides, arc-shaped edges on one or more sides of the jaw, and insulating material surrounding both jaws to prevent the jaws of one clamp from contacting the jaws of another clamp when the clamps are in the closed position. In addition, a process for making the clamp that eliminates additional assembly steps.
