  • Patent number: 8250717
    Abstract: A bonding clip formed of a metal and having unitary or multi-part construction is used to electronically bond together wires of adjacent wire mesh cable trays. The bonding clip binds the wire mesh cable trays by penetrating the protective coating one the wire mesh cable trays with teeth-like projections in order to permit conductive contact between the wires. The bonding clip has a profile that permits maintenance of the cross-sectional area formed by the wires of the wire mesh cable trays.

  • Patent number: 8215592
    Abstract: A component for bends and elevation offsets modifications to a wire mesh cable tray system that maintains the cross-sectional area and conductivity of the original wire mesh cable tray before the bends and elevation offsets modifications is presented. By maintaining the cross-section area, equipment-ground conductor compliance is preserved. The component can be easily and quickly modified as needed while maintaining the cross-sectional area of the wire mesh cable tray system. The component can be modified and installed either by the manufacturer or in the field by a technician.
