Abstract

A connection terminal structure includes a basic element and a clamping element. The basic element is bent to be L-shaped and includes a longitudinal arm and a transverse arm connected to the longitudinal arm. An upper end of the longitudinal arm forms an engaging flange and an engaging shoulder portion. A right end of the transverse arm forms a joint portion. The clamping element comprises a resilient clamping arm, a supporting arm, and a connecting arm. The connecting arm forms an opening portion and extends from the supporting arm to the longitudinal arm. The opening portion fits around the engaging shoulder portion. A lower end of the supporting arm forms a joint end jointed to the joint portion. The resilient clamping arm connects with the supporting arm, extends to the longitudinal arm, has a front end engaging with the engaging flange, and penetrates the opening portion to move resiliently.

First claim

1 . A connection terminal structure, comprising:
a basic element bent to be L-shaped and comprising a longitudinal arm and a transverse arm connected to the longitudinal arm, the longitudinal arm having an upper end for forming an engaging flange extending along a longitudinal direction of the L-shaped basic element and an engaging shoulder portion, and the transverse arm forming as a single flat plate and having a right end for forming a joint hole; and a clamping element comprising a resilient clamping arm, a supporting arm, and a connecting arm, wherein the connecting arm has an opening portion and extends from the supporting arm to the longitudinal arm, with the opening portion fitting around and engaging with the engaging shoulder portion, wherein the supporting arm has a lower end for forming a joint protruding end directly inserted into the joint hole, wherein the resilient clamping arm connects with the supporting arm, extends to the longitudinal arm, has a front end engaging with the engaging flange, and penetrates the opening portion to move resiliently.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The connection terminal structure of claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal arm comprises a surface facing the clamping element and forming a wavy stripe.

4 . The connection terminal structure of claim 1 , wherein the transverse arm bends downward to form a leg.
