  • Patent number: 8475185
    Abstract: A grounding clip for electrically bonding at least three objects in one action. In use, the grounding clip is interposed between at least three objects such that the first and second banks of teeth are configured to penetrate the objects to electrically bond them. The grounding clip has a planar body, a pair of opposingly disposed first banks of teeth that extend downwardly and outwardly from the planar body at an angle. There is also a pair of opposingly disposed second banks of teeth formed of a rotatable plate disposed in a plane at an angle and extending downwardly and outwardly from the planar body. The second banks of teeth terminate in a plurality of second teeth disposed upwardly and in an angled plane with respect to the rotatable plate.
