Support for flexible tubes connecting welding gun to welding apparatus, includes rotatable disc for supporting tubes at end of support arm over which tubes are hung

摘要

Tubes (3) are supported by a rotatable disc (14) at the free end of the arm part (10) of the support (5), over which tubes are hung. A support for at least one flexible tube connected to a hand tool, preferably a bundle of flexible tubes connecting a welding apparatus (1) to a welding gun (4), comprises a foot (6) and an arm pivotably joined to the foot by horizontal and vertical rotation axles (9). Balancing means (12) are provided to press the arm upwards in order to compensate for the weight of the arm. A rotatable disc at the free end of the arm is used to support the tubes, which can be hung over the arm. An Independent claim is also included for a welding apparatus fitted with this support.
