Abstract
A trigger unit for a firearm, including a trigger bar that lies below the trigger axis. A trigger lever has a rear which accommodates at least one disconnector. A sear, rotatable about a sear axis can be biased by means of a sear spring. The hammer axis, the trigger axis and the sear axis are arranged parallel to one another and parallel to a transverse direction. The trigger lever has a recess and the sear is at least partially arranged within. The sear axis and the trigger axis coincide. The sear limits rotation of a disconnector joint formed on the underside of the disconnector; the bearing encloses the disconnector joint at least partially.
Claims18
A trigger unit for a firearm, comprising:
- a hammer that is rotatably mounted about a hammer axis, the hammer being biased by a hammer spring having a first arm and a second arm;
- at least one disconnector;
- a trigger lever including a trigger bar and a trigger rear, where the trigger lever is rotatably mounted about a trigger axis;
- where the trigger bar, when viewed in a normal direction, lies below the trigger axis, the trigger bar being actuated by a movement against a barrel direction;
- and the trigger rear being configured to accommodate the at least one disconnector;
- a sear rotatably mounted about a sear axis, the sear being biased by a sear spring, where the sear is at least partially arranged in a recess defined by the trigger lever and has a bearing on an upper side for receiving a disconnector joint formed on an underside of the at least one disconnector, where the bearing at least partially encloses the disconnector joint in a direction of rotation about a disconnector axis, and limits rotation of the disconnector joint about the disconnector axis;
- wherein the hammer axis, the trigger axis and the sear axis are arranged parallel to one another and parallel to a transverse direction;
- and
- the sear axis and the trigger axis coincide.
