Abstract
A firearm safety mechanism assembly is provided. The firearm safety mechanism assembly includes a firearm with a receiver, a trigger guard coupled to the firearm, and a housing pin. The firearm safety mechanism assembly includes a trigger safety mechanism. The trigger safety mechanism includes a plate, a rod extending from the plate, a trigger coupled to the rod, and a lever nested within the trigger. The lever includes a lever first end and a lever second end, where the lever rotates between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the lever first end abuts a housing pin.
Claims19
A trigger safety mechanism, comprising:
- a trigger assembly including,
- a plate with a plate first end and a plate second end;
- a rod extending from the plate second end;
- a trigger coupled to the rod, wherein the trigger assembly rotates;
- and
- a lever comprising a lever first end and an opposite lever second end, wherein the lever is nested within the trigger and rotatable about a joint anchored in the trigger,
- wherein the lever rotates between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the lever second end abuts a housing pin of a firearm to prevent the trigger assembly from rotating, and wherein in the second position the lever first end does not contact the housing pin and the trigger assembly is able to rotate.
A firearm safety mechanism assembly, comprising:
- a firearm comprising:
- a receiver,
- a trigger guard coupled to the firearm adjacent to the receiver, and
- a housing pin;
- and
- a trigger safety mechanism comprising:
- a trigger assembly including,
- a plate,
- a rod extending from the plate,
- a trigger coupled to the rod, wherein the trigger assembly rotates, and
- a lever nested within the trigger with a lever first end and an opposite lever second end, wherein the lever rotates between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the lever second end abuts the housing pin of the firearm to prevent the trigger assembly from rotating, and wherein in the second position the lever first end does not contact the housing pin and the trigger assembly is able to rotate.
A firearm safety mechanism assembly, comprising:
- a firearm comprising:
- a receiver,
- a trigger guard coupled to the firearm adjacent to the receiver, and
- a housing pin;
- and
- a trigger safety mechanism comprising:
- a trigger assembly including,
- a trigger coupled to a rod extending from a plate, wherein the trigger comprises a trigger first arm and a trigger second arm, and wherein the trigger assembly rotates, and
- a wedge extending from the trigger, and
- a lever nested between the trigger first arm and the trigger second arm, wherein the lever rotates about a joint anchoring the lever within the trigger, and wherein the lever comprises a lever first end and a lever second end, and wherein the lever actuates between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the lever second end abuts the housing pin of a firearm to prevent the trigger assembly from rotating, and wherein in the second position the lever first end does not contact the housing pin and the trigger assembly is able to rotate.
