- a pressure plate which is disposed on a welding wire stack wound in a storage container, presses the welding wire stack, and has a central portion in which an opening is formed;
- and
- a plurality of guide wings provided on an outer circumferential portion of the pressure plate to be in contact with an inner wall of the storage container and formed of a flexible material of which a shape is deformable,
- wherein:
- a plurality of insertion parts are formed on the outer circumferential portion of the pressure plate;
- and
- the guide wings are insertion-coupled to the insertion parts,
- wherein:
- each of the insertion parts includes a recessed base part on which at least one protrusion is formed and a cover part forming an insertion space with the base part;
- and
- each of the guide wings includes a coupling part in which at least one through hole coupled to the protrusion is formed and which is positioned in the insertion part and a protruding part which extends substantially horizontally outward from the insertion part and is in contact with the inner wall of the storage container, and
