1 16. At least in Meinhardt and Bondeson the set screw enters the trough
2 through a side wall, and in Bondeson the axis of extension of the set screw is
3 perpendicular to the axis defined by aligned screw holes on the top and bottom
4 portions of the grounding clamp.
5 17. In Shemtov and Reichman, the trough can be selectably positioned at
6 a desired angle relative to the rest of the grounding clamp (Shemtov Fig. 6; col. 3,
7 ll. 42-50) (Reichman Fig. 1; col. 4, ll. 1-7). Therefore, what is perceived as a top
8 plate entrance for the set screw in one orientation becomes a side wall entry in
9 another orientation.
10 18. In Churla, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
11 ground wire axis which is perpendicular to the axis of the grounding member.
12 (Churla, Fig. 1).
13 19. In Meinhardt, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
14 ground wire axis which is perpendicular to the axis of the grounding member.
15 (Meinhardt, Fig. 6).
16 20. In Bondeson, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
17 ground wire axis which is parallel to the axis of the grounding member.
18 (Bondeson, Fig. 6).
19 21. In Mooney, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
20 ground wire axis which is parallel to the axis of the grounding member. (Mooney,
21 Figs. 1 and 2).
22 22. In Shemtov, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
23 ground wire axis which is parallel to the axis of the grounding member. (Shemtov,
24 Fig. 1).
25 23. In Reichman, the trough opening in the grounding clamp defines a
26 ground wire axis which may be positioned at any one of four different angles
