Repositionable attachment device for welding gun conductor tubes

摘要

An attachment device for use in connecting a conductor tube to a handle of a welding gun is provided that includes an adapter disposed proximate the handle of the welding gun, wherein the adapter defines a plurality of radially spaced receiving portions. A conductor tube is disposed adjacent the adapter, and the conductor tube defines at least one extension disposed near a proximal end portion of the conductor tube. The plurality of radially spaced receiving portions are adapted for engagement by the extension of the conductor tube such that the conductor tube can be repositioned relative to the handle of the welding gun.

主权项

1. An attachment device for a welding gun comprising:
an adapter disposed proximate a handle of the welding gun, the adapter defining a plurality of radially spaced receiving portions extending along a longitudinal direction of the adapter; and an arcuate conductor tube disposed adjacent the adapter and having a proximal end portion and distal end portion, the conductor tube defining at least one extension disposed near the proximal end portion of the conductor tube and extending along a longitudinal direction of the conductor tube; wherein the plurality of radially spaced receiving portions are discrete and configured to engage the at least one extension of the conductor tube and fix the conductor tube to the adapter at any one of a plurality of radial positions corresponding the plurality of the radially spaced receiving portions, the plurality of radial positions permitting a change in the radial orientation of the arcuate conductor tube relative to the adapter.
