Abstract

A grounding clamp having a conductive clamp body with an upper jaw and a lower portion with a through hole. A lower portion chamber includes an activator pivotally mounted on an axle. The activator includes a partially threaded upper pawl portion and a lower bar. An eyebolt with a threaded rod is slidingly disposed in the throughhole. A spring also mounted on the axle, urges the threads on the activator into engagement with the eyebolt rod. A conductive head is disposed on the upper end of the eyebolt, while a latching element is on the lower end. Pushing the activator lower bar pivots the activator and disengages the pawl from the threaded rod so that the threaded rod slides in the through hole freely until the conductive head engages a conductor. The clamp is easily tightened by turning the eyebolt and easily disengaged with only minimal reverse turning.
