Abstract
Abstract A portable stud storage system for use with stud welding apparatus of the type employing a stud orientating apparatus which delivers studs to a stud feeding apparatus that in turn delivers studs to a stud welding gun for welding. The stud storage apparatus employs a housing and a coil of hollow tubing into which the studs are fed, after orientation, at a first location, whereupon the loaded magazine is transported to a remote second location and interconnected to the stud feeding apparatus at which the studs are discharged from the opposite end of the coil and fed to the stud welding gun.
