Abstract

A terminal having a nut-positioning device. The terminal including a horizontal potion, a vertical portion and a nut-positioning device. The horizontal and vertical potions respectively have a round hole enabling the fastening device to pierce therethrough and the round hole of the horizontal portion is configured to lockingly joint the output end of a lead-acid battery via the fastening device, and the round hole of the vertical portion is configured to lockingly joint an external electrical component via another fastening device. The nut-positioning device has a pair of vertically paralleled supporting arms to vertically extend from both ends of the vertical portion, and a pair of correspondingly biased arms extend from the extreme end of the supporting arms, and another pair of correspondingly biased arms is extended from the lower side end of such supporting arms.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal having a nut-positioning device, comprising:

a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, wherein one end of said horizontal portion is jointed to one end of said vertical portion, with one side of said vertical portion installed with a nut-positioning device used for containing the nut;

wherein said nut-positioning device comprises a pair of paralleled and symmetrical supporting arms extended from one end of said vertical portion, with the extreme end of said supporting arms being extended to form a pair of correspondingly biased arms, and with the side ends of said supporting arms being extended to form the other pair of correspondingly biased arms; and

a containing space, formed by said supporting arms and two pairs of said biased arms, is used for holding said nut of the nut-positioning device to keep said nut from loosening.

2. A terminal having a nut-positioning device, comprising:

a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, wherein one end of said horizontal portion is jointed to one end of said vertical portion, with one side of said vertical portion installed with a nut-positioning device used for containing the nut;

wherein said nut-positioning device comprises a pair of unsymmetrical supporting arms extended from one end of said vertical portion, with the extreme end of said supporting arms being extended to form a pair of correspondingly biased arms, and with the side ends of said supporting arms being extended to form the other pair of correspondingly biased arms; and

a containing space, formed by said supporting arms and two pairs of said biased arms, is used for holding said nut of said nut-positioning device to keep said nut from loosening.

3. A terminal having a nut-positioning device, comprising:

a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, wherein one end of said horizontal portion is jointed to one end of said vertical portion, with one side of said vertical portion installed with a nut-positioning device used for containing the nut;

wherein said nut-positioning device comprises at least a supporting arm perpendicularly extended from one end of said vertical portion, and a plurality of pairs of correspondingly biased arms are extended from the extreme end of said supporting arm; and

a containing space, formed by said supporting arm and a plurality of pairs of said biased arms extended from the side end of said supporting arm, is used for holding said nut of the nut-positioning device to keep said nut from loosening.

4. The terminal having nut-positioning device as in claim 3 , wherein said nut-positioning device comprises three supporting arms perpendicularly extended from one end of said vertical portion, and a plurality of pairs of correspondingly biased arms are extended from the extreme ends of said three supporting arms; a containing space, formed by said three supporting arms and a plurality of pairs of said biased arms extended from the side ends of said supporting arms, is used for holding said nut of the nut-positioning device to keep said nut from loosening.

5. The terminal having nut-positioning device as in claim 1 , wherein the plane formed by the pair of parallel and symmetrical supporting arms is to be perpendicular to that formed by said vertical portion; the position of said supporting arms can be anywhere on said plane formed by said vertical portion.

6. The terminal having nut-positioning device as in claim 1 , wherein the other pair of correspondingly biased arms is extended from the side end of said supporting arms, with the biasing angle being determined by the shape of the nut that is to be held.

7. The terminal having nut-positioning device as in claim 6 , wherein the optimal biasing angle is 120 degrees for the nut with hexagonal shape.
