Common Bonding Network Clamp

Abstract

A clamp used to create a bond between under floor wiring systems and a common bonding network is disclosed. The clamp includes a mounting bracket, a J-bolt and a split bolt for securing wires to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a main body with an aperture and a slot. The J-bolt has a first end and a second end. The first end of the J-bolt is attached at the aperture of the mounting bracket and the second end of the J-bolt is positioned within the slot of the mounting bracket. The second end of the J-bolt is removed from the slot to enable the second end of the J-bolt to pivot away from the mounting bracket enabling the J-bolt to engage a floor pedestal.

1 . A clamp comprising:
 a mounting bracket having a main body with a first end and a second end; and   a bolt pivotally connected to the mounting bracket, wherein the bolt has a first end and a second end, the first end of the bolt is pivotally attached at the first end of the mounting bracket and the second end of the bolt is positioned at the second end of the mounting bracket; and   a split bolt connected to the mounting bracket for securing wires to the mounting bracket, wherein the split bolt is disposed in a plane;   wherein the bolt pivots in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the split bolt.   
   
   
       2 . The clamp of  claim 1 , further comprising a fastener for securing the split bolt to the mounting bracket, wherein the first end of the bolt is pivotally attached to the fastener. 
   
   
       3 . The clamp of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the bolt includes a hook and the second end of the bolt is threaded. 
   
   
       4 . The clamp of  claim 1 , wherein the main body includes a back side with a slot and two parallel wings. 
   
   
       5 . The clamp of  claim 1 , wherein the main body of the mounting bracket receives a floor pedestal to secure the clamp to an under floor wiring system.
