Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a welding wire feeder enclosure, the enclosure including a front, a rear, a top, and a bottom forming a perimeter of the enclosure. The enclosure further includes opposing side openings separated by a width of the enclosure, each of the side openings being adapted for receiving a side panel. Particular embodiments further include a divider panel extending substantially between the front, rear, top, and bottom, and positioned along an intermediate portion of the width of the enclosure to divide an internal volume of the enclosure into a service side and a user side, the divider panel being formed monolithically with the front, rear, top, and bottom of the enclosure, the divider panel further including an integral spindle shaft location.

Abstract: This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods. The patentable scope of the invention is defined by the claims, and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that are not different from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements with insubstantial differences from the literal language of the claims.

Abstract: A welder includes a housing enclosing one or more welding circuits communicated with power output studs for establishing a welding arc. A generally rigid bracket may be included that is affixed to an exterior of the housing, which may include first and second spaced apart support arms extending from a bracket, where the first support arm includes a first supporting surface facing a first direction, and where the second support arm includes a second supporting surface facing a second opposite direction for supporting the associated welding gun in a cantilevered configuration. A cable cradle is also included that extends from a second, distal end of the bracket.

Abstract: Electrical components mounted onto a circuit board may be sealed within a frame tray upon the addition of a curable material that encapsulates the circuit board. The electrical components of the circuit board are positioned and sealed within the frame tray such that the cured material does not affect an airflow path which dissipates heat produced by the electrical components during use. The curing of the curable material shields the circuit board from moisture, dust and other environmental contaminates.
