Abstract
A remotely activated trigger release for a firearm is disclosed. The disclosed trigger release can provide immediate disengagement from the firearm when a user ceases interaction with the trigger release. Trigger activation can he achieved by means of a handheld pneumatic pump that pressurizes an expandable member inside a hinged assembly which can provide a force to move the trigger.
Claims7
A remote firearm trigger release apparatus comprising:
- a hinged member with a first tip to apply a force on a trigger of a firearm, a second tip to engage a trigger guard of said firearm, a hinge coupling the first tip to the second tip and an expandable member coupled to the first tip and second tip configured to apply said force to said trigger in response to pressure from a user controlled hand held pump in fluid communication with said hinged member;
- and a conduit coupled to the pump and the hinged member to communicate a fluid pressure from the pump to the hinged member, the conduit affixable relative to said firearm and having a spring force to move the hinged member away from the trigger when less than a predetermined fluid pressure is present at the hinged member.
An auto-disengaging remote firearm trigger release apparatus comprising:
- a) a pump, coupled to a pressure release valve, said valve oriented to prevent unintended pressure build up by releasing pressure without continuous user input;
- and
- b) a hinged member coupled to the pressure release valve, the hinged member having a first tip, and a second tip and an expandable member therebetween, wherein the first tip and second tip are proximate to each other in a closed position and move away from each other in expanded positions when pressure is applied to the expandable member;
- wherein the first and second tips are insertable between a trigger and a trigger guard of a firearm when said hinged member is in the dosed position, the first and second tips configured to contact said trigger and said trigger guard when said hinged member is one of the expanded positions;
- and
- c) flexible conduit having a restoring force, with the conduit coupled to said hinged member and couplable to a location relative to said firearm, the restoring force configured to remove the first and second tips from proximity to said trigger and said trigger guard when a pressure in the expandable member of the hinged member is reduced such that a force applied between the trigger and the guard that holds the first and second tip in a firing position is overcome by the restoring force of the conduit.

A remote firearm triggering apparatus comprising:
- a) a pump;
- and
- b) a hinged assembly coupled to said pump having a first and second rigid member coupled together by a hinge at one end, each first and second rigid member having a tip on a distal end, the hinged assembly coupled to an elastic member that is expandable, when being pressurized the elastic member moves the tip of the first member away from the tip of the second member and when being depressurized moves the tip of the first member towards the tip of the second member, wherein when said elastic member is not expanded the tips of said first and second members are insertable between a trigger and a trigger guard of a firearm and when the elastic member is expanded the tips of the first and second member is configured to engage said trigger and said trigger guard;
- and
- c) a spring member coupled to the hinged assembly and mountable in a fixed position in relation to the firearm configurable to automatically disengage the hinged assembly from the firearm when a pressure to the elastic member falls below a predetermined level.
