Patent attributes
The present invention provides a grounding bushing assembly essentially comprising a first bushing section, a second bushing section, select pivot structure, select latch structure, and select ground conductor attachment structure. The first bushing section, second bushing section, select pivot structure, select latch structure, and select ground conductor attachment structure are all preferably constructed from electrically conductive materials for allowing electric charges to migrate through the material. The first and second sections each comprise an arc length intermediate the section ends, which are lengths together function to cooperatively form an annular, dual-sectioned, grounding bushing. The resulting grounding bushing comprises an inner annular surface, an outer annular surface, a conductor inlet end, a conductor outlet end, and unique ground conductor attachment structure. The present invention enables an installer thereof to install the same in cooperative association with a ground conductor either before or after electrical connections are finalized.
