CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING WELDING TORCH

摘要

The invention relates to a connector for connecting welding torch, more particularly, it relates to the socket-like connecting member to be mounted on a welding apparatus. The essential character of the connector (10) is that t he connector body and the house is made of insulating material, preferably plastic, designed as a unit (12) in one piece connected by a rear wall (14), further, it has an insert (50, 150, 250) made of electrically conductive material carrying the threaded surface (55, 155, 255) made of electrically conductive material and the contact surface, preferably ring-shaped contact surface (57, 157, 257), which insert (50, 150, 250) can be fitted in a nest (30) formed by the side surface (21) of the connector body part (20) of this unit (12) and the surface (41) of the house part (40) of this unit (12) opposite to this side surface (21), the insert (50, 150, 250) has a part at its side surface suitable for connecting the current to it, and there is an opening (33) on the sidewall of the house part (40) leaving uncovered the si de surface of the insert (50, 150, 250) suitable for connecting the current to it, and the insert (50, 150, 250) is secured rotationally in the nest (30) b y form-fitting and/or by the catching of a device connected to the side of the insert (50, 150, 250) suitable for connecting the current to it in the edge of the opening (33).
