Abstract
A dynamically balanced trigger system for a firearm. The dynamically balanced trigger has a specific design, orientation, weights, and cutouts such as to provide a balanced trigger, where the chances of accidental discharge due to drops, shocks, and impacts are dramatically reduced. Unlike other triggers, the dynamically balanced trigger system has a trigger with a center of gravity near the center point of the trigger, which weights the trigger components against itself to prevent movement, such as may be caused by dropping the firearm, thereby helping prevent an unintentional discharge of the firearm.
Claims24
A trigger system comprising:
- a housing;
- a trigger assembly comprising,
- a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing about a first bore of the trigger, and
- a disconnector coupled to the trigger at a second bore of the trigger,
- wherein the trigger assembly is substantially balanced about the first bore;
- a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing at a first end;
- and
- a sear operably engaging the disconnector and the hammer, and rotationally coupled to the housing.
A firearm, comprising:
- an upper;
- a barrel connected to the upper;
- a receiver;
- and
- a trigger system disposed within the receiver, the trigger system comprising,
- a housing,
- a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing about a first bore of the trigger;
- a disconnector coupled to the trigger at a second bore of the trigger;
- a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing at a first end;
- and
- a sear operably engaging the disconnector and the hammer, and rotationally coupled to the housing;
- wherein the trigger and disconnector are is dynamically balanced about the first bore.
