  • Patent number: 5541381
    Abstract: A sheet metal working electrode handpiece is described for delivering electric current from a source of electrical energy to a selected location on a sheet metal workpiece. The electrode has an electrically insulated handle with an electrical conductor having a connector for electrical contact with a source of electrical energy. A control switch on the handle provides electrical connection to the source of electrical energy to control delivery of electrical energy to the conductor. A first electrode adapter is provided on the handle, oriented along a first axis. A second electrode adapter is also provided on the handle, oriented along a second axis substantially normal to the first axis. Any one of several sheet metal engageable electrodes may be removably mounted to at least one of the adapters. One such electrode is a dent pulling electrode which includes a shank, threaded at one end to be received in one of the adapters.
