Claim Text:
1. A push-type grounding bushing comprising: an electrically conductive body having a first end and a second end, with a bore formed therethrough, the body further having an intermediate shoulder stop formed therein dimensioned to contact an end of a conduit passing into the body from said first end; a locking device placed in the first end of the body having a plurality of gripping tabs forming a helix so that the conduit can be pushed into said locking device and held by said plurality of gripping tabs and removed by rotating the conduit relative to the body, a throat insulator dimensioned for placement into the second end of the body, the throat insulator having a flange dimensioned to substantially cover said second end, the throat insulator having a bore formed therein for passage of electrical conductors extending out of said conduit; an electrically conducting lug secured to said body, the lug having a base, first, second, third and fourth sides and a top, the first and third sides opposite each other, the second and fourth sides opposite each other, and the base and top opposite each other, the lug having a rectangular cuboid shape, the lug having a lay-in recess formed between the second and fourth sides and having an opening thereto extending across the third side, the lay-in recess dimensioned for lay-in placement of an electrical conductor through the opening in the third side so as to extend across the second and fourth sides, the lug having a bore formed through the first side and extending into a portion of the lay-in recess so as to allow an electrical conductor to pass through the bore, the portion of the lay-in recess, and a cutout formed in the opening extending across the third side, and the lug having a threaded bore formed through the top and extending into said lay-in recess; and a fastener configured to mechanically and electrically secure said conductor received in said lay-in recess or in said bore formed through the first side, to said lug.
