Abstract

A clamp assembly includes a body having a first side and a second side. The body includes a first channel configured to receive a flat wire, a second channel configured to receive a round wire, a first projection extending from the first side of the body, and a second projection extending from the second side of the body. The clamp assembly further includes a first clamp member coupled to the first projection and a second clamp member coupled to the second projection.

Claims (36)

1. A clamp assembly comprising:

a body having a first side and a second side, the body including a first channel, a second channel, a first projection extending from the first side of the body, and a second projection extending from the second side of the body, the first channel configured to receive a first conducting member, the second channel configured to receive a second conducting member, the first projection defining at least a portion of the first channel, the second projection defining at least a portion of the second channel;

a first clamp member coupled to the first projection; and

a second clamp member coupled to the second projection,

wherein the first projection includes a rectangular portion and a cylindrical portion and the first clamp member includes a recess and an aperture, the recess receiving the rectangular portion and the cylindrical portion extending through the aperture.

2. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first channel extends parallel to the second channel.

3. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first channel extends perpendicular to the second channel.

4. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second projection includes a semi-circular portion and a cylindrical portion and the second clamp member includes a recess and an aperture, the recess receiving the semi-circular portion and the cylindrical portion extending through the aperture.

5. The clamp assembly of claim 1 further comprising a first fastener that secures the first clamp member to the body and a second fastener that secures the second clamp member to the body.

6. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first conducting member has a rectangular cross-section and the second conducting member has a round cross-section.

7. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first conducting member is a grounding cable and the second conducting member is a conducting wire.

8. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first projection includes a first portion defining a portion of the first channel, and a second portion coupled to the first clamp member.

9. The clamp assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first portion of the first projection is positioned between the first side of the body and the second portion of the first projection.

10. The clamp assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first projection includes a threaded surface for securing the first clamp member via a threaded connection.

11. A clamp assembly comprising:

a body having a first side and a second side, the body including a first channel, a second channel, a first pair of projections extending from the first side of the body, and a second pair of projections extending from the second side of the body, the first channel configured to receive a first conducting member, the second channel configured to receive a second conducting member, the first pair of projections defining at least a portion of the first channel, the second pair of projections defining at least a portion of the second channel;

a first clamp member coupled to at least one of the projections in the first pair of projections; and

a second clamp member coupled to at least one of the projections in the second pair of projections,

wherein the first conducting member is a first flat wire, the body and the first clamp member being configured to receive a second flat wire therebetween, the first flat wire being perpendicular to the second flat wire.

12. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first channel extends parallel to the second channel.

13. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first channel extends perpendicular to the second channel.

14. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein at least one projection of the first pair of projections includes a rectangular portion and a cylindrical portion and the first clamp member includes a recess and an aperture, the recess receiving the rectangular portion and the cylindrical portion extending through the aperture.

15. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein at least one projection of the second pair of projections includes a semi-circular portion and a cylindrical portion and the second clamp member includes a recess and an aperture, the recess receiving the semi-circular portion and the cylindrical portion extending through the aperture.

16. The clamp assembly of claim 11 further comprising a first fastener that secures the first clamp member to the body and a second fastener that secures the second clamp member to the body.

17. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first conducting member has a rectangular cross-section and the second conducting member has a round cross-section.

18. The clamp assembly of claim 11 , wherein the first conducting member is a grounding cable and the second conducting member is a conducting wire.

19. A clamp assembly comprising:

a body having a first side and a second side, the body including a first channel, a second channel, a first projection extending from the first side of the body, and a second projection extending from the second side of the body, the first channel configured to receive a first conducting member, the second channel configured to receive a second conducting member, the first projection defining at least a portion of the first channel, the second projection defining at least a portion of the second channel;

a first clamp member coupled to the first projection; and

a second clamp member coupled to the second projection,

wherein the second projection includes a semi-circular portion and a cylindrical portion and the second clamp member includes a recess and an aperture, the recess receiving the semi-circular portion and the cylindrical portion extending through the aperture.

20. The clamp assembly of claim 19 , wherein the first channel extends parallel to the second channel.

21. The clamp assembly of claim 19 , wherein the first channel extends perpendicular to the second channel.

22. The clamp assembly of claim 19 , further comprising a first fastener that secures the first clamp member to the body and a second fastener that secures the second clamp member to the body.

23. The clamp assembly of claim 19 , wherein the first conducting member has a rectangular cross-section and the second conducting member has a round cross-section.

24. The clamp assembly of claim 19 , wherein the first conducting member is a grounding cable and the second conducting member is a conducting wire.
