DEFINITION

Classification: 439/770

Clamping cam or wedge:

(under subclass 765) Electrical connector wherein the screw-threaded member causes (a) turning motion of a clamping member of gradually increasing radius, (b) turning motion of an eccentrically mounted clamping member, (c) straight-line motion of a clamping member having diverging opposed surfaces, or (d) motion of a clamping member relative to a curved or inclined surface; which movable clamping member in turn exerts a clamping pressure on the battery post between the said movable clamping member and an abutting surface of the clamp connector.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

807, for a connector in which a cam or wedge means is actuated by a screw-threaded operating member.
