Patent attributes
A battery terminal (A) includes a terminal main body (10). Left and right fastening pieces (36) are formed on the terminal main body (10) and are deformable to be held in close contact with an outer periphery of a battery post (P). A cam member (51) have left and right pressing surfaces (56) capable of pressing outer side edges of the pair of fastening pieces (36) and are inclined with respect to an axis line of the battery post (P). Fastening members (fastening bolt (58) and nut (61)) vertically displace the cam member (51) with the pressing surfaces (56) held in contact with the outer side edges of the fastening pieces (36). Inclination restricting portions (16) are formed on the terminal main body (10) and restrict lateral inclination of the cam member (51). The cam member (51) is slidable in contact with the inclination restricting portions (16).
