How often have you struggled to remove the clamp attached to your car battery?
You know, that clamp first designed for under-the-hood use in vehicles invented 80 car models ago?
Bill Marchal, former owner of the Bluffton Dari Freeze, said that he decided something need to be done. So, he did it himself.
He invented a clamp that replaces, in a flash, the pre-World War II technology.
It all started on a cold, windy day, as he tried to remove the battery from his tractor.
“After using two vise grips and a flat screwdriver with a hammer, I designed the Quick Change Battery Clamp,” he said. Now, he holds a patent pending for his QCBC.
Marchal shared the background of the battery clamp and benefits of his QCBC, which follow:
The lead squeeze-style battery clamp has been in use for years, with no improvements.
Vehicle manufactures have installed this style with no regard for the customer. The improved design QCBC can be installed or removed in minutes with no tools. Also it is ambidextrous and can be installed on any size battery post positive (+) and negative (-).
He says that it has a beneficial for farm equipment, construction equipment, recreational vehicles and car collectors.
The installation is complete when you simply install the turn-threaded stud inboard until it touches the post and closes the clamp.
Fire departments will appreciate the ease of this clamp at an accident site because their first action on such a scene is to disconnect the vehicle battery.
Marchal did his research. He says his invention, with its ease of maintenance, will be well received by the public. The public Marchal speaks of owns 9 million golf carts, 4 million farm tractors, 15.5 million semi-tractors, 276 million and 13 million boats.
