Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a welding torch is disclosed. The nozzle assembly (300) comprises a nozzle (348), a contact tip (356), and a gas diffuser assembly (400). The gas diffuser assembly (400) comprises a gas diffuser (500) coupled to an insulator (900). The gas diffuser is also coupled to a gooseneck (346) and the contact tip (356). The nozzle is coupled to the gas diffuser assembly, such that the contact tip is retained within the nozzle. The nozzle (348) and gas diffuser assembly (400) further include complementary engagement features to couple the nozzle to the gas diffuser assembly. The nozzle also includes a spatter deflector (328) configured to deflect or block spatter from obstructing gas holes of the gas diffuser assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable cable fitting for a thru-arm cable of a robotic welding torch includes a female member formed of an elongated tubular body having a forward end, a rear end, and a through hole extending axially from the forward end to the rear end. The forward end includes a nose portion for connection to a welding cable. A male member is cooperable with the female member in a telescoping manner. The male member includes a shaft received in the through hole of the female member, a receiver connected to the shaft for receiving a power pin, and a through hole extending axially through the shaft and receiver. A nut is disposed on the shaft for locking a position of the shaft relative to the female member. Adjustment of a disposition of the male member relative to the female member varies an effective length of the power cable.

Abstract: A self-adjusting liner assembly (24) for a welding torch (10) includes an elongated tubular body (26) having a forward end (28), a rearward end (30), and a central bore (32) extending from the forward end to the rearward end. An elongated fixed tube (44) is mounted in the bore. The assembly further includes an elongated tubular slide (46) having an inner end (48), an outer end (50), and a shoulder (52) proximate the outer end. The fixed tube (44) is received in the inner end of the slide (46), and the slide cooperates with the fixed tube in a telescoping relationship in the bore. A resilient member (58) is disposed in the bore and envelopes a portion of the fixed tube and the slide. The resilient member engages the shoulder (52) of the slide and urges the slide away from the fixed tube and toward the forward end of the body.

Abstract: A dispenser (130) for drum packed welding wire (16) comprised of numerous coils includes a circular lid (132) having an upper surface (134) and a lower surface (136). The lower surface (134) is floatingly positionable on top of the packed welding wire (16). A frame (142) extends from the upper surface (136). The frame (142) includes a hub (144) and a radially extending support (146) extending from the hub (144) to the upper surface (136). The hub includes an aperture. The dispenser (130) also includes a de-coil conduit (150) having inlet (152) and outlet (154) ends for guiding welding wire (16) therethrough. The inlet end and outlet end are generally at 90 to one another. The inlet end (152) is disposed to receive welding wire (16) in the drum parallel to the coils, and the inlet end (152) is moveable relative to the circular lid (132) as the wire (16) is fed into the de-coil conduit (150). The outlet end (154) directs the fed welding wire (16) to the aperture (148) in the hub (142).
