  • Patent number: 7750239
    Abstract: An electrical device for wiring an electrical appliance is provided. The electrical device includes a grounding wire having a fork and a grounding screw with the grounding wire permanently installed on the electrical device. A clamp mechanism is provided having a flexible sheet of material having a top surface, a bottom surface, a top end, and a bottom end substantially opposite the top end with the material being substantially bowed prior to insertion of the wire. An aperture is formed through the material adjacent the top end for receiving the threaded portion of a clamp screw therethrough with the screw head contactable with the to surface of the material. A pair of cutouts are adjacent the top end of the clamp mechanism with the cutouts being shaped and designed for determining the proper insertion depth of the wires beneath the material wherein upon insertion of the wire between the bottom surface of the material and the electrical device, the material substantially flattens.
