from the central axis of the cross shaft 104 that gradually varies between a minimum radius d and a maximum radius d as is seen in fig1 the lever 101 is in a position in which the maximum radius d is rotated so as to be between the cross shaft 104 and the clamp arm 107 in this position the thicker radius d creates a pressure between the cross shaft 104 and the arms of the clamp 107 under this pressure the arms of the clamp 107 are pulled toward each other allowing the connector 100 to be clamped to a battery terminal this pressure is sufficient to tightly hold the connector 100 on the battery terminal fig1 also shows a cable connector 105 and cable 106 that allows the battery 39 s electrical potential to flow into the electrical system served by the battery when the connector 100 is secured to a battery the cable connector 105 is attached to the quick release battery terminal connector 100 and the cable 106 is in turn then connected to the cable connector 105 in a preferred embodiment the metal components of the connector 100 of the present invention can be anodized e g coated electrolytically with a protective or decorative oxide anodizing may be done selectively to some or all of the metal components of the connector 100 and can be used in any embodiment of the present invention fig2 is an illustration of the battery terminal connector of.
