Abstract
A stud welding device for use in welding T studs comprises a receiver into which T studs are fed from a feeding device and located in the path of a plunger which carries the stud into a welding position. Spring means are provided in the receiver to engage the head of a T stud fed into the receiver to hold the stud in place thus to reduce the possibility of jamming.
Claims3
A stud welding device comprising
- a plunger movable between an advanced and a retracted position
- a receiver adapted to receive a T stud from a feeding device and comprising a T shaped transverse passage through which a T stud may pass to an axial bore which is of a diameter corresponding to that of the head of the T stud,
- the plunger being mounted for movement in the axial bore of said receiver so that the plunger in its movement from its retracted position to its advanced position carries a T stud located in the axial bore to locate it against a work piece for welding thereto
- and spring means in the receiver adjacent the axial bore arranged to engage a circumferential face of the head of a T Stud fed through the transverse passage into alignment with the axial bore.
