ROTATIONAL CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING A WELDING POWER CABLE TO A WELDING TORCH, HAVING AN ENCLOSURE AND A BIASING MEMBER

摘要

A rotational connector for connecting a welding power cable to a welding torch may include an enclosure (21), an end cap (22), a torch stud (23), a cable stud (23), and a biasing member (25). The enclosure (21) may have an internal surface (21c). The end cap (22) may have an end cap biasing surface (22a). The end cap (22) operably connects to the enclosure (21). The torch stud (23) may include a flange (24c) that has a contact surface (24d) and a biasing surface (23e). The cable stud (24) may include a flange (24c) that has a contact surface (24d) and a retention surface (24c). The cable stud retention surface (24e) may have a shape corresponding to the enclosure internal surface (21c). The biasing member (25) may be disposed between the end cap biasing surface (22a) and the torch stud biasing surface (23e) urging the torch stud contact surface (23d) into engagement with the cable stud contact surface (24d) and urging the cable stud retention surface (24e) into engagement with the enclosure internal surface (21c).
