Abstract
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. 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.
Claims16
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 opposite a second end thereof;
- said first end of said conductive member engageable to a translating shaft of a welder;
- a coupling, said coupling configured at a first end thereof to form a connection to said first arm of said spot welder tool;
- said second end of said conductive member slidable to an engagement with a second end of said coupling;
- said translating shaft moveable in a first direction toward said coupling to thereby rotate 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 through said conductive member to said coupling will energize said first electrode and said second electrode to form a spot weld on metal placed therebetween.
