Abstract:
An electrode connector adapted for attachment to a biomedical patient electrode by either pinch or snap connection includes a pair of pivotally connected members including a connector body and a jaw pivotally connected to said connector body, with the jaw defining a beveled lower surface that functions to urge the jaw open by engagement of the top surface of an ECG stud thereby allowing the connector to be attached by snap engagement. An electrically conducting plate is disposed at the bottom of the connector to maximize electrical contact with the electrode stud. The jaw member further includes a lip functioning to engage a lower portion of the head of the stud and urge the radially enlarged base of the stud into electrical contact with the bottom surface of said electrically conducting member. An ECG electrode connector in accordance with the present invention may further be fabricated of radiolucent materials.

Claim (Index 4):
An electrode connector for establishing electrical connection with a biomedical patient electrode having a stud projecting upward form a top surface thereof, the stud including a radially enlarged base, a neck, and a head, said connector comprising:\n a connector body having a jaw member pivotally connected to said main body; said connector body and jaw member configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; said connector body and said jaw member biased to the closed configuration; said connector body and said jaw member defining an first opening for receiving and capturing the stud of a patient electrode when in the closed configuration; an electrically conducting member affixed to said connector body, said member defining a second opening, said second opening in general alignment with said first opening; said jaw member defining a beveled bottom edge, said beveled bottom edge functioning, upon engagement with the head of an electrode stud, to urge said jaw member toward said open configuration thereby allowing for snap attachment of the connector to the stud.
