Abstract
A firearm operating system includes a housing, a central pivoting member disposed within the housing, a trigger including a portion disposed within the housing and a portion extending outside the housing such that the portion of the trigger within the housing includes a hole and at least one finger that extends in a first direction from the hole. Due to movement of the trigger, the at least one finger presses against the central pivoting member to cause the central pivoting member to rotate.
Claims18
A firearm operating system comprising:
- a central pivoting member;
- and
- a trigger comprising a hole and at least one finger that extends in a first direction from the hole, wherein:
- due to movement of the trigger causing the firearm operating system to fire a round, prior to trigger reset, the at least one finger presses against the central pivoting member to cause the central pivoting member to rotate;
- the trigger comprises a head that extends in a second direction from the hole where the second direction is opposite of the first direction, the head being disposed adjacent to a locking ring and a locking ring push-puller;
- and
- the trigger is decoupled from the central pivoting member.
A firearm operating system comprising:
- a central pivoting member;
- a safety;
- and
- a trigger comprising a hole and at least one finger that extends in a first direction from the hole, wherein:
- due to movement of the trigger, the at least one finger presses against a bottom surface of the central pivoting member further from a firearm slide to cause the central pivoting member to rotate;
- the safety is configured to prevent rotation of the central pivoting member;
- the safety comprises a pivoting lever configured to interface with a safety portion disposed at the second end of the central pivoting member;
- and
- the central pivoting member rotates about a pivot hole.
A firearm operating system comprising:
- a central pivoting member;
- a trigger comprising a hole and at least one finger that extends in a first direction from the hole;
- a striker;
- and
- a safety striker stopper, wherein:
- due to movement of the trigger causing the firearm operating system to fire a round, prior to trigger reset, the at least one finger presses against the central pivoting member to cause the central pivoting member to rotate;
- the trigger is decoupled from the central pivoting member;
- the central pivoting member comprises a first end and a second end opposite of the first end;
- the at least two fingers are disposed adjacent to the first end;
- the second end comprises a striker release and is disposed adjacent to the striker;
- the central pivoting member comprises a safety finger disposed on an upper surface of the central pivoting member and the safety finger is disposed adjacent to the safety striker stopper;
- the safety finger is disposed between the first end and the second end;
- and
- the safety finger is configured to move upwards based on movement of the central pivoting member while in direct contact with the safety striker stopper.
