Abstract
A spool gun having a very unique look, due to its arrangement of external features. The spool gun has its wire spool compartment located below the handle and the user's hand, when the user is gripping the spool gun in an operational position. A gas/power cable is connected to the body of the spool gun forward of the handle.
Claims19
A spool gun having a distal end configured to be positioned away from the user when the spool gun is in use and a proximal end configured to be positioned proximate the user when the spool gun is in use, the spool gun comprising:
- a body portion enclosing a wire feed subsystem;
- a handle portion having a first end connected proximal to the body portion and extending to the proximal end of the spool gun;
- a welding torch manifold proximal to the body portion;
- and
- a gas and power cable inlet connected to the manifold and positioned between the handle portion and the welding torch manifold.
A spool gun having a distal end configured to be positioned away from the user when the spool gun is in use and a proximal end configured to be positioned proximate the user when the spool gun is in use, the spool gun comprising:
- a body portion enclosing a wire feed subsystem;
- a handle portion having a first end connected proximal to the body portion and extending to a wire spool housing at the proximal end of the spool gun;
- an armature connecting the spool housing to the body portion;
- a welding torch manifold proximal to the body portion;
- and
- a gas and power cable inlet connected to the manifold.
A spool gun having a distal end configured to be positioned away from the user when the spool gun is in use and a proximal end configured to be positioned proximate the user when the spool gun is in use, the spool gun comprising:
- a body portion enclosing a wire feed subsystem;
- a handle portion having a first end connected proximal to the body portion and extending to a wire spool housing at the proximal end of the spool gun;
- a wire feed trigger proximate the handle portion operably connected to the wire feed subsystem and the wire spool housing;
- an armature connecting the spool housing to the body portion;
- a welding torch manifold proximal to the body portion;
- and
- a gas and power cable connected to the manifold,
- wherein when the spool gun is in use, the spool gun has a center of gravity located no more than three inches proximal to the wire feed trigger.
