Abstract
A electrical connector for removably engaging a welder to a spot welding tool having a first arm in a pivoting engagement to a second arm. The connector features an electrically conductive member engaged to or forming a powered translating shaft of a welder which is surrounded by a housing. The connector engages within a passage formed in a coupling to communicate forward and rearward movement and electric current to a first arm of a spot welding tool.
Claims6
An electrical connector for removably engaging a welder to a spot welding tool having a first arm in a pivoting engagement to a second arm, comprising:
- a conductive member having a first end engaged to a translating shaft of a welder, said translating shaft being surrounded by a housing;
- a coupling, said coupling in a connection at a first end, to a first arm of said spot welder tool;
- a connector for engaging said housing, said connector engaged to one end of a second arm of said spot welder tool;
- said conductive member having a second end, said second end slidably engageable to a locked engagement with said coupling within a passage extending axially into said coupling from a second end of said coupling;
- and
- wherein movement of said translating shaft in a first direction toward said coupling rotates said first arm to move a first electrode engaged thereto toward a second electrode engaged to said second arm, wherein electric current communicated from said welder will energize said first electrode and said second electrode to form a spot weld on metal placed therebetween.
