A joint compound for electrical connections is disclosed which includes an antioxidant base material and a quantity of stainless steel grit mixed with the antioxidant base material to provide improved mechanical pullout strength. The joint compound has a weight ratio of antioxidant to stainless steel grit in the range of from about 30:70 to about 90:10, preferably, from about 40:60 to about 70:30, and more preferably about 50:50. The stainless steel grit is cut wire having a diameter within the range of from about 0.012 inches to about 0.125 inches, with a preferred diameter within the range of from about 0.012 inches to about 0.030 inches, and 0.017 inches being a more preferred stainless steel grit diameter.

A clamp used to create a bond between under floor wiring systems and a common bonding network. The clamp includes a mounting plate, a U-bolt and a split bolt for securing wires to the mounting plate. The mounting plate has an aperture and a slot. The U-bolt has a first end and a second end. The first end of the U-bolt is attached at the aperture of the mounting plate and the second end of the U-bolt is positioned within the slot of the mounting plate. The second end of the U-bolt is removed from the slot to enable the second end of the U-bolt to pivot away from the mounting plate enabling the U-bolt to engage a floor pedestal.

A locker lock that provides for increased security and ease of use. The locker lock can be a vertical built-in lock or a horizontal built-in lock. In each case the lock is symmetrical such that it can be used in either right-handed or left-handed lockers. The locker lock provides for increased security by increasing the distance the lock bolt must travel. The locker lock also provides for an easy combination changing mechanism, such that the combination can be changed without opening the lock and the locker lock can accommodate a large number of lock combinations.

A high-security shackleless lock is provided. The lock includes a shackle pin adapted to move between a closed position extending across a lock body recess to engage a staple; and an open, staple-free position. A lock bar mounted entirely within the lock body can be move between a closed shackle pin engaging position to retain the shackle pin in its staple-engaging position, and an open shackle pin-free position wherein the shackle pin does not extend across the lock body and cannot engage a staple. A shackle pin spring urges the shackle into its open position, and a lock bar spring urges the lock bar into its closed position. The shackle pin has a distal end formed with a head element of extended dimensions. The lock body defines a recess adapted to closely confront the shackle pin head when the shackle pin is located in its closed position.

An improved robotic welding torch includes a conductive inner body tube with first and second receiving areas for receiving a rear housing retaining device and a robotic mount retaining device. A removable robotic mount is slidably positioned over the conductive inner body tube and is preferably held in a fixed axial position by the robotic mount retaining device on one end and a rear housing on the other end. The robotic mount may be replaced with another robotic mount of a desired diameter without dismantling the entire robotic torch assembly. The robotic welding torch may be assembled with an integrated robotic mounting arm in place of the robotic mount so that the torch assembly may be attached directly to a collision sensor on a welding robot. A method of assembling or disassembling a robotic welding torch includes the steps of removably sliding and attaching a rear housing and either a robotic mount or integrated robotic mounting arm by sliding either one onto the inner body tube and against the edge of the rear housing. The robotic mount or integrated mounting arm are removable without the need to completely disassemble the robotic torch through the use of two retaining devices.

Robotic welding torch and method of assembly

An improved automatic MIG welding torch assembly for use in automated welding environments includes a locking feature to provide an anti-rotational fit between a power adapter and a conductive inner body tube of a welding torch. The conductive inner body tube has a hollow body and a hexagonal shaped external circumference extending along at least a portion of the body tube. An outer tube for use in an automatic MIG welding assembly has a hollow body with at least one end having a polygonal cross-section. A pitch rack is detachably connected to the outer tube with at least two non-threaded fasteners. The outer body tube may also include a smoke exhaust integrally connected to the tube. Improved methods for assembling an automatic MIG welding torch and manufacturing the integral smoke exhaust are also provided.
