Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A protective cover used in a guide groove-type welding gun is provided with: a cover body into which a movable gun arm is inserted, said cover body being of a flame-retardant fabric, covering at least a gun body, having an open-ended tubular shape, and being capable of following changes in shape; the first strings that can allow the mobile gun arm to project and maintain the upper end opening in a narrow-mouthed state; and the second string that can allow the fixed gun arm to project and maintain the lower end opening in a narrow-mouthed state. Thus, sputter depositions and the like that occur during welding are reliably prevented from penetrating the gun body, further improving the durability of the welding gun.
