BATTERY TERMINAL AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING IT

摘要

A battery terminal (A) includes a terminal main body (10). Left and right fastening pieces (36) are formed on the terminal main body (10) and are deformable to be held in close contact with an outer periphery of a battery post (P). A cam member (51) has left and right pressing surfaces (56) capable of pressing outer side edges of the pair of fastening pieces (36) and inclined with respect to an axis line of the battery post (P). A fastener (50) is configured to vertically displace the cam member (51) with the pressing surfaces (56) held in contact with outer side edges of the fastening pieces (36). The fastening piece (36) is formed with an arcuate surface (45) slidable in contact with the pressing surface (56).

主权项

1. A battery terminal (A; B; C; D), comprising:
a terminal main body (10); one or more fastening pieces (36) formed on the terminal main body (10) and deformable to be held in close contact with an outer periphery of a battery post (P); a cam member (51; 70; 74) having one or more pressing surfaces (56) capable of pressing outer side edges of the one or more fastening pieces (36) and inclined with respect to an axis line (AL) of the battery post (P); and a fastening means (50) configured to displace the cam member (51; 70; 74) substantially along the axis line (AL) with the one or more pressing surfaces (36) substantially held in contact with one or more of the outer side edges of the fastening pieces (36); the fastening piece (36) being formed with an arcuate surface (45) slidable in contact with the pressing surface (56).
