Patent number: 8001640Abstract: An improved MIG welding pliers is disclosed, which allows faster and easier removal of spatter form a MIG welding nozzle, thereby improving welder productivity. Embodiments of the present invention provide a rounded file on the outer surface of each of the pinchers of the pliers. In one embodiment, each pincher has a different file surface. The rounded file surface provides for improved spatter removal, and eliminates the need for waxes and spatter control products which degrade the contact tip and nozzle, hastening the need for their replacement. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention increase the efficiency of a MIG welding operation, as less time is spent removing spatter from nozzles, and thus, more time is available for welding. Furthermore, by avoiding the use of waxes, costs are reduced since nozzles and contact tips do not need to be replaced as frequently.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Inventor: Rahman Carter

Patent number: 4091483Abstract: A pliers-like device is primarily designed to cut and remove clamps from flexible hoses, such as radiator hoses, for example. A tooth is formed at the end of each jaw of the pliers to reach under the hose clamp and start the cutting process. The opposed pliers jaws have interleaving blades, at least one of which has a knife edge. A pair of opposed cavities are formed on opposite jaws to hold the tab ends of a wire spring hose clamp while it is being expanded. The gripping jaws of a conventional pair of pliers are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1977Date of Patent: May 30, 1978Inventor: Joe Lewis
