Booster cable clamp
A booster cable clamp having an upper jaw and a lower jaw is disclosed. The upper jaw has an upper jaw left wall, an upper jaw right wall, and an upper jaw front wall while the lower jaw has a lower jaw left wall that substantially opposes the upper jaw left wall, a lower jaw right wall that substantially opposes the upper jaw right wall, and a lower jaw front wall that substantially opposes the upper jaw front wall. At least one of the upper jaw left wall, the upper jaw right wall, the upper jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, the lower jaw right wall, and the lower jaw front wall includes a substantially planar anvil contact surface.
1. A booster cable clamp, comprising:
an upper jaw comprising an upper jaw left wall, an upper jaw right wall, and an upper jaw front wall; and
a lower jaw comprising a lower jaw left wall substantially opposing the upper jaw left wall, a lower jaw right wall substantially opposing the upper jaw right wall, and a lower jaw front wall substantially opposing the upper jaw front wall;
wherein at least one of the lower jaw front wall comprises a substantially planar anvil contact surface bent rearwardly or forwardly from the lower jaw and substantially orthogonal to a planar surface of the lower and upper jaws.
2. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the upper jaw left wall, the upper jaw right wall, the upper jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, the lower jaw right wall, and the lower jaw front wall that opposes the anvil contact surface comprises a V-shaped recess.
3. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the anvil contact surface extends toward a rear of the booster cable clamp from the lower jaw front wall.
4. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 :
wherein the upper jaw front wall comprises a V-shaped recess recessed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the anvil contact surface;
wherein the lower jaw front wall comprises the anvil contact surface;
wherein the upper jaw left wall comprises a plurality of V-shaped recesses;
wherein the lower jaw left wall comprises a plurality of V-shaped recesses;
wherein the upper jaw right wall comprises an arcuate recess; and
wherein the lower jaw right wall comprises an arcuate recess.
5. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the anvil contact surface is integral to and the lower jaw front wall.
6. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the upper jaw and the lower jaw is constructed of copper plated steel.
7. The booster cable clamp according to claim 2 , wherein the V-shaped recess is recessed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the anvil contact surface.
8. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the upper jaw left wall, the upper jaw right wall, the upper jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, the lower jaw right wall, and the lower jaw front wall that opposes the anvil contact surface comprises a single recess substantially centered between a left side of the booster cable clamp and a right side of the booster cable clamp.
9. The booster cable clamp according to claim 1 , the lower jaw further comprising:
a lower jaw central wall connected to each of the lower jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, and the lower jaw right wall.
10. The booster cable clamp according to claim 9 , wherein the lower jaw central wall is disposed substantially orthogonally to each of the lower jaw front wall, the lower jaw left wall, and the lower jaw right wall.
