Patent ID: 7740510

Claim:
An electrode clamp for making contact with a film electrode having flat extensions extending from a patient contacting surface and a snap electrode having a contact stud projecting from a patient contacting surface, comprising: a first part having a contact element thereof; and a second part pivotally coupled to said first part for pivotal movement about a pivotal axis between an open position for receiving a film electrode therebetween and a closed position detachably clamping the film electrode therebetween and against said contact element, said first and second parts being in a first state where said first and second parts have an offset relative to one another, being relatively movable to reduce said offset in a second state allowing a snap electrode to be inserted in said first and second parts, and being resettable to said first state clamping the snap electrode against said contact element for electrical contact therebetween and in a mechanically detachable manner.
