Abstract
Locking engagement connections between various components of a welding device can include tapered features having varied thread patterns and/or varied angles to ensure that the components remain tight during service. For example, locking engagement connections can be incorporated between a nozzle and a retaining head, a retaining head and a gooseneck, and/or a contact tip and a retaining head.
