Grounding clamp

A device for securing a grounding cable to a mesh cable tray comprising a number of spaced apart longitudinal and transverse members, the device comprising:

• a bolt;
• and
• a clamp body having two finger-like members for receiving a transverse member of the mesh cable tray therebetween,
• wherein the two finger-like members project from a bottom portion of the clamp body at a first location and wherein the clamp body includes an outside portion extending from the bottom portion at a second location distal from the first location,
• wherein the outside portion includes an opening therethrough for receiving the bolt,
• wherein a space between the finger-like members and the outside portion of the clamp body forms a cavity for a longitudinal member of the mesh cable tray therein when mounted to the mesh cable tray,
• wherein the cavity receives the grounding cable therein at a position proximate to the longitudinal member, and
• wherein, upon advancement of the bolt in the opening, an end of the bolt secures the grounding cable to the longitudinal member of the mesh cable tray.

A system comprising:

• a mesh type cable tray that includes a number of spaced apart transverse members and a number of spaced apart longitudinal members;
• a securing element;
• and
• a grounding device having an inner portion to engage one of the transverse members, a bottom portion projecting from the inner portion, and an outer portion projecting from the bottom portion,
• wherein a space formed between the inner portion, the bottom portion, and the outer portion defines a cavity for receiving the one of the longitudinal members,
• wherein the cavity further receives a grounding cable therein, and
• wherein the securing the securing element to the outer portion affixes the grounding cable to the longitudinal member in the cavity.
