WIRE FEEDER INCORPORATING A GAS SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING WIRE AND GAS TO THE WELDING LOCATION

摘要

A wire feeder (10) and gas system (47) for use therewith is shown. The gas system (47) of the wire feeder (10) includes a canister (48) that is constructed to contain a shielding gas therein and is connectable to the wire feeder (10). The canister (48) is supported by the wire feeder (10) when it is connected thereto such that the wire feeder (10) can be efficiently and conveniently transported from one location to another with the source of shielding gas securely connected thereto.
