To attach the cables. The terminal poles of batteries are attached to the former slotted Kleinmen pushed over the terminal pole of the battery, are pressed by a 'transverse screw on the latter. This type of attachment has, a number of disadvantages. On the one hand, the screws are very inaccessible and are pulled slightly crooked, on the other hand different types of terminals are required for different directions of cable management, in order to remedy this and to provide a device useful for all cable guides for attaching to the terminal poles, especially batteries, the terminal is annular according to the invention, has a stud for fixing the cable lug and an inclined surface for a clamping wedge, which, when tightening the fastening nut for the cable lug, sliding downwards obliquely, establishes a firm and over a large area fitting connection between the terminal pole and cable lug.

The new design has the following advantages The mounting nut is easily accessible with fork and socket wrench. Repeated tightening and loosening does not result in material deformation. The terminal is suitable for all directions of cable routing with a construction style, whereby the cable connection can be made with normal cable connection. The new clamp is easily loosened and lifted after a short turn of the fixing nut: and can be re-attached as often as required without any deformation of its parts. There is a large contact area for the current transition. Finally, several cable lugs can be connected to one terminal at the same time.

In the drawing, the individual parts of the structure of the invention "and their assembly are shown.

With i the positive terminal pole of a battery is designated, on which d'he ring-shaped terminal 2 is pushed. This clamp has a stud 3 and an inclined surface 4, on which a clamping wedge with mutually round recesses 6 and 7, of. where the one against, the Anschlußpol i lays and the other is supported on the stud 3, slides. On the upper side of the clamping wedge 5 has a flat surface 8, on which the cable lug 9 comes to rest. Finally, io denotes the plate and ii the fastening screw.

If the latter, ii, tightened, the clamping wedge 5 slides down on the inclined surface 4, wherein on the conical Anschlußpol i on one side, the inner annular surface of the terminal 2 and on the other side, the circular surface 7 of the clamping wedge. 5 firmly applies, at the same time the lying flat on the clamping wedge cable lug 9 is held and thus ensured by large contact surfaces a good power transition.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment, it can be used wherever it is necessary to make cable connections at bolt-like locations.
