A power module cartridge for a welder includes a chassis tray that is dimensioned to fit inside an external case of the welder. The chassis tray includes a fan receptacle, a capacitor receptacle, a rectifier mounting slot and a transformer receptacle. A fan fits into the fan receptacle; a capacitor fits into the capacitor receptacle; a rectifier plate fits into the rectifier mounting slot; and a transformer fits into the transformer receptacle. The chassis tray can also include a clip for receiving a printed circuit board ('PCB'). The PCB can be electrically connected to the aforementioned components. A second chassis tray can fit on the top of each of the components such that the components are sandwiched between the first and second chassis trays. A method of manufacturing a welder is also disclosed.

Power module cartridge

An invention is provided which comprises a tandem welding carriage having at least two welding carriages coupled to each other. Each of the welding carriages having a base, rear wheel assemblies disposed at one end of the base, and welding attachment portions. The two welding carriages are coupled to each other using a coupling member, and each welding carriage is carrying an arc welding device and/or spool to allow for tandem arc welding.

Tandem welding carriage with changeable wheel configuration and modular construction

An apparatus for an electric arc welder comprising a first electromagnetic device including a first core assembly, wherein the first core assembly has a first stack of laminations which are press-fitted or snapped together into interlocking engagement with a complementary second stack of laminations so as to form two flux paths through the first core assembly, each of which passes through a center portion of the first core assembly; a second electromagnetic device, such as a transformer, including a second core assembly, wherein the second core assembly has a first stack of laminations which are press-fitted or snapped together into interlocking engagement with a complementary second stack of laminations so as to form two flux paths through the second core assembly, each of which passes through a center portion of the second core assembly; and wherein the two core assemblies of the electromagnetic devices are press-fitted or snapped together into interlocking engagement with each other.

Snap-together choke and transformer assembly for an electric arc welder

An invention is provided which comprises a welding carriage having a base, rear wheel assemblies disposed at one end of the base, a first front wheel assembly attachment member disposed on a second side of the base, and a first front wheel assembly configured to removably engage with the front wheel assembly attachment member to securely couple with the base. The welding carriage may also include a second front wheel assembly attachment member disposed on a second side of the base, and a second front wheel assembly configured to removably engage with at least the at least one front wheel assembly attachment member to securely couple with the base. The carriage may also include at least two welding attachment portions, where both welding attachment portions have the same cross-sectional characteristics.

Welding carriage with changeable wheel configuration and modular construction

A guide device for an electric arc torch having an insulator surrounding a contact tip through which a welding wire extends includes a sleeve having a first end for receiving the insulator and a second end through which the welding wire extends and which second end includes an edge and/or rib for engaging a workpiece and spacing the contact tip therefrom and an opening for viewing the wire, arc and weld puddle.

Guide device for electric arc torch welding

A welding kit to provide a welder with information and instructions concerning particular types of welds and the formation of such welds. The welding kit includes a welding instruction manual and several metal sheets that include a plurality of pre-cut metal pieces. The metal pieces are used to form one or more welding projects with instructions provided by the instruction manual.
