Welding Wire Container Cover With Tear-Off Wire Outlet
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing welding wire accommodation-container systems require a separate head cap member for use, leading to increased manufacturing costs and inconvenience due to the need for additional components and waste generation when the container is discarded.
Innovation Solution
A welding wire accommodation-container cover with a cut part that can be easily torn off, eliminating the need for a separate head cap member, and featuring a connection adaptor for efficient wire withdrawal, allowing for both adapter connection and endless type usage without additional binding members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a separate head cap member is used with the accommodation-container, then the welding wire can be properly withdrawn and used, but the manufacturing cost increases and additional waste is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the head cap member functions directly into the container cover by providing a cut part that can be torn off to expose the welding wire. The cover itself becomes the withdrawal interface, eliminating the need for a separate head cap member while maintaining wire withdrawal capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential function of the head cap member (wire exposure and withdrawal) and integrates it into the container cover through the cut part design. This removes the separate head cap component from the system while preserving its functional purpose.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a separate head cap member is manufactured and supplied, then the accommodation-container can be used, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the functions of the container cover and head cap member into a single integrated component. The cut part is formed directly on the cover during the same manufacturing process, eliminating the need to manufacture and assemble a separate head cap member, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The container cover is designed to serve multiple functions: it seals the container, protects the welding wire, and provides the withdrawal interface through the cut part. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for dedicated head cap members for different container types.
3Productivity
If the accommodation-container is discarded after use, then the welding wire can be replaced, but additional waste is generated from the head cap member and accessories
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the separate head cap member from the system, so that when the container is discarded and replaced, no additional head cap waste is generated. The cut part remains integrated with the container cover, eliminating the need to dispose of separate accessory components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the container cover to be fully utilized and then discarded as a single unit without separating and discarding additional head cap members and accessories. This reduces the total volume of waste material requiring disposal.

AI summary
One embodiment of the present invention provides a welding wire accommodation-container cover comprising: a blocking part which has a shape corresponding to a transverse cross section of a container body part, and which covers the opening of the container body part; side-forming parts which are connected to the blocking part, and which are bent from the blocking part so as to be fitted to encompass the outer side surface of the upper portion of the container body part; side-fixing parts which are alternately provided with the side-forming parts along the side of the blocking part, and which fix neighboring side-forming parts; and a cut part which is formed at the blocking part, and which can be cut so that a welding wire wound around the container body part can be withdrawn to the outside.
