Abstract
A battery terminal post clamp with a quick-coupling device for its connection to a battery terminal post is disclosed. The clamp consists of two U-shaped parts (1,2). The legs (21,22) of one of the parts (2) extend through openings (8,9) in the legs (6,7) of the other part (1), which latter legs also have guide recesses (14,15) for the legs (21,22) of the first mentioned part (2). The two parts are movable relative each other under the influence of an excenter or toggle joint mechanism (23,24,25), which has a dead-point position where the post contacting portions (5,18) of the U-shaped parts (1,2) are located closest to each other.
