Abstract:
1. A bonding and grounding clamp/connector constructed for mounted engagement in an electrical enclosure, said clamp/connector comprising: A. a generally cylindrically shaped member incorporating a first end and a second end; B. an enlarged flange radially extending outwardly from said cylindrically shaped member and constructed for abutting contact with a surface of the electrical enclosure; C. a threaded zone formed on the outside surface of the cylindrically shaped member and positioned adjacent the enlarged flange; D. an elongated, longitudinally extending passageway E. a threaded aperture formed in the cylindrically shaped member, extending from the outside surface thereof into said cylindrically shaped member and terminating with the elongated, longitudinally extending passageway; F. a locking screw mounted in said threaded aperture for threaded engagement therewith, enabling said locking screw to be advanced into and out of locking engagement with a grounding rod/grounding electrode conductor positioned in said elongated, longitudinally extending passageway; and G. a locking ring constructed for threaded interengagement with the threaded zone formed on the outside surface of the cylindrically shaped member for cooperating with the enlarged, radially extending flange for enabling said clamp/connector to be securely affixed to the electrical enclosure through an opening therein so that said locking screw mounted in said threaded aperture is positioned inside said electrical enclosure.
