Patent ID: 8333610

Claim:
A battery connector that shorts a positive electrode and a negative electrode that are adjacent, in a battery laminating in a thickness direction thereof battery cells provided with a pair of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of a thin plate shape that projects outwardly, and connects a plurality of the battery cells in series, the battery connector comprising: a housing including a pair of concave portions that opens at a bottom portion a pair of slit apertures into which a pair of the positive and negative electrodes that are adjacent can be inserted; a contact that includes a pair of movable strips having both wings of a base end portion being bent and opening in a U-shape, the pair of the movable strips being held in the pair of the concave portions of the housing, and the pair of movable strips contacting opposing surfaces of the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are adjacent; a lid housing that covers the pair of the concave portions and fits with the housing; a pair of elongated rotor rods that is supported so as to be rotatable at and adjoining with or spaced from both end portions of the lid housing; and guide strips which are at both end portions of the contact provided with a pair of cam grooves that cause the pair of the rotor rods to be adjoining each other and press the positive and negative electrodes that are adjacent into the pair of the movable strips when inserting the lid housing into the housing.
