Problems solved by technology

However, the weld is in fact a permanent connection, so that replacement of the welded part (i.e., the ground module) requires a great deal of effort to grind through the weld, which may itself or naturally lead to unavoidable damage to the chassis / body

Abstract

The invention relates to grounding modules connected with flow drill screws. A ground module is provided. The ground module includes means for fastening and a shaped metal module. The shaped metal module includes two or more flanges, wherein each flange is configured to receive means for fastening. The shaped metal module further includes consistent gaps formed into the underside of the ground module between the flanges, and holes formed through the ground module and configured to receive bolts. Various embodiments include angled surfaces to optimize assembly ergonomics, and variable depths to optimize module quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field relates generally to electrical grounding modules. In particular, improved ergonomics of the grounding module are provided. Embodiments herein are particularly suitable for dry environments, but are not so limited herein. Background technique [0002] All types of electrical systems are commonly grounded for safety and for operational considerations. This ground is ultimately connected to the ground in a stationary environment, for example with systems installed in buildings. In a vehicle, a physical connection to ground is usually not possible. The electrical systems in a vehicle are therefore connected to the structural chassis / body of the vehicle which often serves as a common ground. The vehicle chassis / body is often considered to be in a wet environment due to its common exposure to water, mud, lubricants, oils and other foreign substances which may or may not exacerbate corrosion or other electrical problems. [0003] In ...
