Abstract:
A belt connector is provided. The belt connector is configured to electrically connect a conductor of an electrode belt to a male portion of a snap connector electrode connected to a biometric device. The belt connector includes a frame, a fastener, and an engaging member. The frame includes a receiving hole having radial flexibility. The receiving hole is configured to receive and fasten the frame to a protrusion of the male portion of the snap connector electrode. The fastener is configured to fasten the frame to a first end of the electrode belt. The engaging member is adjacent to the receiving hole and engages the conductor of the electrode belt by the conductor passing through the receiving hole. When the male portion of the snap connector electrode penetrates the receiving hole, the conductor is forced into contact with a lateral surface of the male portion of the snap connector electrode.

Claim (Index 11):
A process for making an electrode belt with biometric belt connectors, comprising\n placing an end of a flexible electrode belt with an incorporated wire onto a belt connector frame as defined in  claim 9 , in the suitable direction in which it is to be fastened onto the connector, such that a portion of the belt end extends beyond said ridge member or row of pins, pressing a heat element, ultrasonic hot body or other means of heat transfer onto said belt and ridge member or row of pins, and through the action of the heat, shearing an end piece of the belt but leaving intact the incorporated wire within said end piece, thus revealing an end of said wire, through the action of heat from said heat element or another heat element, fastening by heat melting said belt to said ridge, and fastening the wire end to a member adjacent to the hole of the connector frame, such that said end is in electrical contact with said hole and comes in electrical contact with a conducting male snap fastener inserted in said hole.
