Abstract:
1. A bonding washer for making an electrical connection between two metal pieces, comprising: a substantially planar carrier; a first set of hollow, electrically conductive teeth carried by and extending away from said carrier in a first direction, each tooth of said first set having a distal edge; and a second set of hollow, electrically conductive teeth carried by and extending away from said carrier in a second direction substantially opposite said first direction, each tooth of said second set having a distal edge, wherein at least one tooth of said second set is substantially aligned with and electrically connected to a tooth of said first set to define at least one pair of substantially aligned, diverging, electrically connected teeth, whereby, when the metal pieces are rigidly clamped together with said at least one pair of substantially aligned, diverging, electrically connected teeth between the metal pieces, the distal edges thereof are forcibly embedded into the metal pieces to make electrical contact therewith.
