Abstract
A battery clamp comprises a connecting lug ( ), a contact ring ( ) which is provided with a slot so as to form two opposite clamping ends ( ). Each clamping end includes a bent lug ( ), and a slope ( ). A spring ( ) engages the clamping ends of the contact ring. A blocking wedge ( ) is positioned between the bent lugs of the clamping ends and can be shifted between a mounting position in which it keeps the clamping ends of the contact ring in a spread condition, and a contact position in which it releases the clamping ends so that the spring can pull the clamping ends together.
