ELECTRICAL CABLE CLAMP
First Claim
1. An electrical cable clamp for releasably securing an electrical cable to a part, the electrical cable clamp comprising:
- (a) a pair of clamp members each comprising a handle portion and a jaw portion;
(b) a pair of opposed contact surfaces, each of the contact surfaces attached to a different one of the jaw portions, wherein at least one of the contact surfaces is formed by an electrically conductive member;
wherein the clamp members are pivotally connected to allow movement of the clamp members between a closed position in which the clamp members collectively form an electrically insulating external surface that substantially encases the electrically conductive member, and an open position in which the contact surfaces are separated from each other and exposed to receive the part therebetween; and
(c) a spring for biasing the clamp members towards the closed position.

Abstract
An electrical cable clamp for releasably securing an electrical cable to a part includes a pair of clamp members, a pair of opposed contact surfaces and a spring. Each of the clamp members comprises a handle portion and a jaw portion. Each of the contact surfaces is attached to a different one of the jaw portions. One or both of the contact surfaces is formed by an electrically conductive member. The clamp members are pivotally connected to allow movement of the clamp members between a closed position in which the clamp members collectively form an electrically insulating external surface encasing the electrically conductive member, and an open position in which the contact surfaces are separated from each other and exposed to receive the part therebetween. The spring biases the clamp members towards the closed position.
