Abstract
A welding system having a welding implement with a self-contained trigger and trigger locking assembly. The self-contained trigger and trigger locking assembly has a trigger which, when operated, regulates the flow of current from a power source. The trigger lock of the assembly has a movable portion which includes a groove which can engage a complementary structure on the trigger to maintain the trigger in an operating position, thereby allowing continued flow of current from the power source.
