Abstract
A sear assembly for a weapon, the weapon comprising a hammer adapted to contact with the sear assembly and a trigger disconnected from the sear assembly, the sear assembly comprises a sear for mechanically engaging a sear surface on the hammer, a lever mechanically coupled by one end to the sear, the lever comprising a contact surface that causes the rotation of the sear, an actuator that actuates the lever by means of a cam, and a trigger sensor that is configured to determine if the trigger is pulled. In this regard, the trigger sensor is a coil. The sear assembly comprises a firing state and a safe state.
Claims20
A sear assembly for a weapon, the weapon comprising a hammer adapted to contact with the sear assembly and a trigger disconnected from the sear assembly, wherein the sear assembly comprises:
- a sear for mechanically engaging a sear surface on the hammer;
- a lever mechanically coupled by one end to the sear, the lever comprising a contact surface that causes the rotation of the sear;
- an actuator that actuates the lever by means of a cam;
- and
- a trigger sensor that is configured to determine if the trigger is pulled,
- wherein the trigger sensor comprises a coil,
- wherein the sear assembly comprises:
- a firing state,
- wherein the actuator actuates the lever by means of the cam such that the contact surface of the lever causes the rotation of the sear in a counterclockwise direction, such that the sear disengages the sear surface on the hammer allowing at least a shot to be fired when pulling the trigger;
- a safe state,
- wherein the actuator actuates the lever by means of the cam such that the contact surface of the lever causes the rotation of the sear in a clockwise direction, such that the sear engages the sear surface on the hammer impeding a shot to be fired when pulling the trigger.
A method for selecting between a firing state or a safe state of a sear assembly for a weapon, the weapon comprising a hammer adapted to contact with the sear assembly and a trigger disconnected from the sear assembly, the sear assembly comprising:
- a sear for mechanically engaging a sear surface on the hammer;
- a lever mechanically coupled by one end to the sear, the lever comprising a contact surface that causes the rotation of the sear;
- an actuator that actuates the lever by means of a cam;
- and
- a trigger sensor that is configured to determine if the trigger is pulled,
- wherein the trigger sensor comprises a coil,
- the method comprising:
- selecting the firing state of the sear assembly,
- wherein in the firing state, the actuator actuates the lever by means of the cam such that the contact surface of the lever causes the rotation of the sear in a counterclockwise direction, such that the sear disengages the sear surface on the hammer allowing at least a shot to be fired when pulling the trigger;
- or
- selecting the safe state of the sear assembly,
- wherein in the safe state, the actuator actuates the lever by means of the cam such that the contact surface of the lever causes the rotation of the sear in a clockwise direction, such that the sear engages the sear surface on the hammer impeding a shot to be fired when pulling the trigger.
