Abstract
A contact bar assembly for a tattooing device having a spring saddle frame comprising an arcuate contact arm supporting a contact screw for making electrical contact with the contact spring. The proximate end of the contact arm is slotted for adjustment in a longitudinal direction. The distal end of the contact arm has a cylindrical lug disposed horizontally adapted to receive a cylindrical rod insert having a threaded axial bore. The lug has a pair of opposed slots for reception of the threaded contact screw, which also threads through the rod insert enabling adjustment of the contact screw in vertical or angular movement in the lug. The contact bar assembly is lightweight, balanced, and adjustment thereof is possible with the opposite free hand by either a right or left-handed tattooist.
Claims5
A contact bar assembly for a tattooing device comprising:
- an arcuate inclined arm having a longitudinal axis, a proximate end and a distal end;
- a slot formed in the proximate end of the arm for adjustment of the arm along its longitudinal axis on the tattooing device;
- a cylindrical lug formed at the arm distal end and perpendicular to the arm;
- said cylindrical lug having a horizontal throughbore and a pair of opposed axial slots perpendicular to said horizontal throughbore;
- a cylindrical rod having a centered threaded bore for frictional insertion into said horizontal throughbore of the cylindrical lug, for angular rotation of said rod;
- and
- an externally threaded contact screw for insertion into said opposed axial slots of the lug and the threaded bore of the cylindrical rod, for contact with a contact spring of the tattooing device;
- whereby the contact bar assembly is centrally balanced and the adjustment of the contact screw placement can be made with the opposite non-holding hand of a tattooist.
