Abstract:
A clamp for a battery cable, to be easily secured and removed from a battery terminal stud, the clamp including a main clamp body having a vertical bore extending therethrough which is adapted to receive the battery terminal stud therein, the clamp body further including a vertical channel extending from the vertical bore to a distal face of the clamp such that when confronting faces of the vertical channel are pushed towards one another, the vertical bore is tightened about the terminal stud so as to secure the clamp thereto. The inner faces of the vertical channel are pushed towards one another by a strong, yet flexible track which is attached at its distal end to one of the inner faces of the vertical channel and extends through an axial channel to engage a tightening member rotatably mounted within the clamp body such that when the tightening member is rotated from an exteriorly engageable head portion thereof, the track is correspondingly moved to cause either the tightening of the vertical bore about the terminal stud or the loosening of the vertical bore to allow removal.
