Claim Text:
1. A welding-type system comprising: a power source having a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal to deliver a welding-type power; a wire drive configured to provide a consumable welding electrode to a first welding-type implement to effectuate a first welding-type process upon receiving the welding-type power; a second welding-type implement configured to effectuate a second welding-type process upon receiving the welding-type power, the second welding-type process being different than the first welding-type process; and an electrically conductive power bridge directly mechanically coupled to the positive output terminal and having a first mounting leg directly mechanically coupled to the wire drive to electrically connect the wire drive to the positive output terminal, the first mounting leg configured to directly mechanically couple to the wire drive using a fastener; and a quick release assembly configured to connect the second welding-type implement to the positive output terminal wherein the quick release assembly is comprised of a passage to receive a power pin of a welding power cable and a clamp to engage the power pin therein, wherein the first mounting leg and the quick release assembly are integrally formed within the electrically conductive power bridge.
