Patent ID: 8512052

Claim:
An electrical grounding device comprising: a. a first collar member and a second collar member that, when cooperatively joined to each other form generally a ring structure with a central opening, the first collar member having first inner and outer wall surfaces, a first flange projecting from the first inner wall surface, a first shoulder projection extending radially from the first outer wall surface with an aperture disposed therethrough that is orthogonal to the central opening, and a second shoulder projection extending radially from the first outer wall surface with an aperture disposed therethrough that is orthogonal to the central opening; b. the second collar member having second inner and outer wall surfaces, a second flange projecting from the second inner wall surface, a third shoulder projection extending radially from the second outer wall surface with an aperture disposed therethrough that is orthogonal to the central opening, and a fourth shoulder projection extending radially from the second outer wall surface with an aperture disposed therethrough that is orthogonal to the central opening; c. a ring shaped chafe guard member coupled to the first and second flanges; and d. a plurality of fasteners operably associated with the first and second collar members and passing through the apertures disposed through the first, second, third, and fourth shoulder projections to removably couple the first, second, third, and fourth shoulder projections together.
