  • Method of manufacturing a grounding connector and improved grounding connector
    Patent number: 5632633
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing grounding connectors (1) based on a stamping process on progressive tooling which can produce a grounding connector (1) which is lighter, of a reduced size, and is of low manufacturing cost. The wedge type grounding connector (1) comprises a hollow body (2), a wedge (3), a shear-head bolt (4), two nests (5, 6) for grounding cables (7) and rods (8), and a solid fixture block (9). With the exception of the fixture block (9), all components of the grounding connector (1) are light, and of a reduced size since these components of the grounding connector (1) are manufactured by a stamping process.
