20120178286 | BATTERY CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF MAKING A BATTERY CONNECTOR - A battery connector includes a first end terminal, at least one intermediate terminal and a second end terminal. The at least one intermediate terminal is in communication with the first end terminal via a first flexible cable. The first flexible cable is affixed to the at least one intermediate terminal and the first end terminal. The second end terminal is in communication with the at least one intermediate terminal via a second flexible cable, the second flexible cable being affixed to the at least one intermediate terminal and the second end terminal. | 07-12-2012 |
20120214332 | Charging Structure of Cigarette Lighter Plug - The present invention provides an improved charging structure of cigarette lighter plug, which includes a cigarette lighter plug, a power cord electrically connected to the cigarette lighter plug and at least one connector. The connector is at least provided with an outer casing, a voltage converter unit located inside the outer casing and electrically connected to the power cord, and a connector terminal located at one end of the outer casing and electrically connected to the voltage converter unit. Accordingly, integration of the voltage converter unit and the connector terminal reduces current flowing through the power cord, thereby downsizing of the cigarette lighter plug, decreasing wire gauge requirements of the power cord and achieving the effectiveness to lower manufacturing cost, as well as preventing the voltage converter unit from contacting the higher heat from the structure of vehicle, and increasing reliability and safety when in use. | 08-23-2012 |
20120214333 | EXTENSION CORD CONVERTER - A system that converts a standard 110 volt extension cord for use in the extension of the 12 volt vehicle battery power. A first portion clamps to the battery and presents a standard female plug to the male end of the standard extension cord. The extension cord which can be as long as is necessary, presents a female plug to the second portion of the converter which is a standard male plug. The other end of the second portion could be a standard female cigarette lighter connector into which the appliance can be plugged to provide 12 volt current or a structure which provides two clampable elements onto which the battery clamps of some appliances could be connected to provide current to the appliance. Thus, the kit could include the first portion and the first version and/or the second version of the second portion. | 08-23-2012 |
20120270437 | CIRCUIT ELEMENT COUPLING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR FLEXIBLE AND OTHER CIRCUITS - Embodiments relate to coupling and/or holding devices for electrically and/or mechanically contacting circuit elements, such as power sources, sensors, transducers and other devices. In one embodiment, a coupling device comprises a substrate having at least one printed conductive element and at least one fold, flap, slit, slot, perforation or other alteration configured to encourage contact between a circuit element, such as a battery, sensor, transducer or other element, and the at least one printed conductive element. | 10-25-2012 |
20130196533 | ELECTRIC CABLE CONNECTING CONSTRUCTION AND ELECTRIC CABLE CONNECTING METHOD - Attaching work of a high-voltage cable is improved. In an electric cable connecting construction of battery packs, the high-voltage cable is connected to conductors held in resin busbar modules for connection with the general electrodes by fastening crimp terminals to the conductors. Two ribs are formed on each of the busbar modules where the crimp terminal is held therebetween to limit an entrained rotation of the crimp terminal. A difference between a gap of the two ribs on one of the adjacent battery packs and a width of the crimp terminal connected to the general electrode is set to a first gap dimension L | 08-01-2013 |
20140220815 | Compact Battery Clamp and Booster Cable - Disclosed is a compact battery clamp suitable for attachment to a high-amperage, two-conductor, insulated electrical cable, the compact battery clamp comprising: a clamp handle having a first clamp handle end and a second clamp handle end; a contact arm having a first contact arm end and a second contact arm end; a pivot pin passing through the clamp handle and through the first contact arm end so as to hingedly connect the contact arm to the clamp handle; a first terminal contact pad rotatably attached to the first clamp handle end; a second terminal contact pad rotatably attached to the second contact arm end; and an electrical socket attached to the second clamp handle end, the electrical socket configured for electrically coupling with an end of the insulated electrical cable. | 08-07-2014 |
