ABSTRACT:
A clamping device having a U-shape provides a mechanical and electrical connection between two flat ribbons or strips of electrically conductive material. The strips of material may, for example, be thin copper bars for grounding purposes in an underground telephone vault. One inner surface of the U-shaped clamp includes at least one projecting point which is positioned directly opposed to at least one threaded bolt movably disposed and extending from the opposed inner surface. The free end of the bolt is formed with a complementary recess and an abrading surface surrounding the recess. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of such threaded bolts are offset from each other and are mounted in opposite legs of the U-shaped clamp. The bolts may be formed with a slotted head for securing another conductor or bonding ribbon therein.
