  • Patent number: 10207352
    Abstract: A welding system includes a frame having a first sliding track and a second sliding track. The welding system also includes a cover piece having a first set of tabs configured to slide within the first sliding track, and a second set of tabs configured to slide within the second sliding track. The first and second sets of tabs are disposed on opposite sides of the cover piece. The cover piece includes an indention configured to mate with a detent protruding from a fan louver of the frame when the cover piece is slid into an open position. In addition, the welding system includes a plurality of electrical connections. The cover piece substantially covers the plurality of electrical connections when the cover piece is slid into a closed position within the sliding tracks, and the plurality of electrical connections are entirely exposed when the cover piece is slid into the open position within the sliding tracks.

  • Patent number: 9517525
    Abstract: A welding system includes a housing having a front panel assembly. The welding system also includes first and second handles. The first handle is coupled to a first side of the front panel assembly and the second handle is coupled to a second side of the front panel assembly that is opposite from the first side. Each handle includes a recessed handle portion having an inner wall that forms an angle of between approximately 60 degrees and approximately 80 degrees with respect to an outer wall of the respective handle. The first and second handles are symmetrical about a central axis such that the first and second handles are interchangeable with each other. In addition, the first and second handles each include a plurality of internal tabs on both top and bottom sides of the first and second handles. The internal tabs facilitate coupling and alignment of the first and second handles with the front panel assembly.

  • Publication number: 20140070683
    Abstract: A welding system includes a lift eye having a plurality of slotted paths that are both vertically and horizontally offset from each other. Each of the plurality of slotted paths are configured to receive a cylindrical bearing, and enable two resting positions and a lifting position of the lift eye via interaction with the respective cylindrical bearing. In addition, each slotted path of the plurality of slotted paths includes a first substantially vertical slot portion, a smaller second substantially vertical slot portion that is horizontally offset from the first substantially vertical slot portion, and an angled portion connecting bottom ends of the vertical slot portions.
