Patent number: 5736712Abstract: An arc welding torch which can generate an electric arc in a predetermined position even when large rotational torque acts on welding wire. A passage of the arc welding torch has a plurality of curves which are taken first in one direction and then in another direction along the passage, and the curvature radius and curve angle of each of the curves are designed so that minimum torque T1 which is necessary for the welding wire to turn in the guide passage is greater than torque T2 which causes torsional yielding of the welding wire. Owing to the curvature radius and curve angle of each of the curves and elasticity of the welding wire which comes in contact with each of the curves, the welding wire is inhibited from turning in the guide passage. Therefore, a fore end of the welding wire occupies the same position with respect to the current feed chip, and an electric arc can be generated in a desired position.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1996Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hitoshi Matsui
