Patent Images
1. An electric arc welder power supply having an airflow with contaminants embedded within said airflow, said power supply comprising:
- an essentially hollow housing;
at least one internal component requiring cooling mounted within said hollow housing;
at least one cooling component mounted within said hollow housing;
at least one sliding track assembly within said housing and attached thereto, said sliding track assembly having said at least one cooling component mounted thereupon; and
whereinsaid sliding track assembly moves from a first closed position to a second open position which at least partially exposes said at least one cooling component.

Abstract
An electric arc welder power supply housing assembly is described in which it is possible to clean internal component parts is achieved by positioning cooling components on a rail system. The rail system may include at least one telescoping track assembly. When the telescoping track assembly is engaged, the housing assembly is in an open position, thus providing access for the maintenance of internal components therein without having to disassemble unnecessary components or parts of the welding power supply.
