Paint penetrating ground clamp for painted raised floor pedestals

摘要

An electrical grounding connector comprising a U-bolt, an upper clamp part and a lower clamp part. The upper clamp part is connected to the U-bolt to clamp a floor pedestal therebetween. The lower clamp part is connected to the U-bolt to clamp a conductor between the upper and lower clamp parts. The upper clamp part has a plurality of barbs therein to penetrate through paint on the floor pedestal. The barbs are formed by piercing into a pedestal contact surface of the upper clamp part at an acute angle to the surface.
