Patent ID: 7892017

Claim:
A biomedical electrode connector for coupling with a biomedical electrode of the type including an electrode base and a male terminal projecting from the electrode base, the electrode connector comprising: a connector element including first and second leg segments and defining a longitudinal axis, and having a bend segment connecting the first and second leg segments, the first and second leg segments each including inner surface portions defining terminal receiving apertures therethrough and having serrations at least partially circumscribing the apertures, the terminal receiving apertures being generally elongated extending along the longitudinal axis and each having a first internal dimension adjacent the bend segment greater than a corresponding second internal dimension longitudinally displaced from the bend segment, the first and second leg segments adapted for relative movement between an open position whereby the male terminal is permitted to pass through the apertures of the first and second leg segments and a lock position whereby the inner surface portions including the serrations engage the male terminal in secured relation therewith to mount the connector element to the electrode.
