Patents by Inventor Gabor Fabian

Gabor Fabian has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8794561
    Abstract: A container includes side walls and a floor panel for packaging coiled wire, which may be welding wire. A wire dispensing apparatus is included that pays-off wire from the coil without tangling or twisting. The wire dispensing apparatus incorporates a plurality of flexible protrusions that extend from a base constructed to minimally contact the coil of wire. In particular, the wire dispensing apparatus incorporates an angled or curved base that rests against an inner circumference of the coiled wire.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8678186
    Abstract: An invention is provided which employs a payoff brush having a ring structure with an inner diameter from which bristles/brush extend. The bristles/brush extend from the inner diameter of the ring structure to contact a wire being paid off from a wire coil so as to ensure smooth payoff of the wire.

  • Patent number: 7946523
    Abstract: An invention is provided which employs a self-adjusting core section having an outer diameter which essentially matches that, or is larger than that, of the inner diameter of a wire coil, where the self-adjusting core has a vertical slit along the its length to allow the diameter of the core to be adjustable. Bridging the vertical slit are straps secured to the core to determine the core's maximum diameter, and allow the core diameter to be reduced through flexing.

  • Patent number: 7905439
    Abstract: Arrangements and methods for welding wire payoff sources. A tapered core and base plate, optionally along with a wire guide insert, are configured with a payout drum package and a cover containing a welding wire stack such that the welding wire may be payed off smoothly from the wire stack during an arc welding operation, without the welding wire flipping or tangling.

  • Patent number: 7748659
    Abstract: A wire tensioning arrangement is provided for applying tension in a wire supplied to a wire feeder. The wire tensioning arrangement includes first and second tensioning members positioned on a first axis to receive the wire therebetween. The first and second tensioning members are adapted to engage opposite sides of the wire at a location on the first axis to apply a tensioning force to the wire when the wire is pulled by the wire feeder in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
