## Abstract

A trigger assembly prevents the rifle from being damaged and improves the user safety by preventing unintentional firing (rifle's falling down to the ground, hitting any place, etc.) as long as a trigger lever is not pulled by the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A trigger assembly (1) for preventing accidental gun discharge, said trigger assembly (1) comprising:
a hammer (2) which enables to fire a gun;
a first sear element (3) interconnected with said hammer (2) by a first spring element (11);
a second sear element (4) that allows said first sear element (3) to move in a second direction (B); and
a lock element (8) presenting a plate (12) that defines a first opening (13) to receive a first end (14) of a second spring (9) and a second opening (16) to receive a pin (17) wherein said second spring (9) is connected to said lock element (8) to overcome the energy of said first sear element (3) to apply pressure to a trigger (5) to lock said trigger (5) thereby preventing said second sear element (4) from moving in a third direction (C) as said second sear element (4) is prevented from moving as said hammer (2) and said first sear element (3) are prevented from moving in the first direction (A) and the second direction (B) thereby preventing any accidental firing of the gun.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A trigger assembly (1) as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second sear element (4) includes a bulge (6).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A trigger assembly (1) as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lock element (8) includes a cut out portion (7) of a generally rectangular configuration defined between a finger (20) extending from said plate (12) and said second opening (16), said cut out portion (7) is used to mechanically engage said bulge (6) of said second seal element (4) when said lock element (8) is in a locking position thereby preventing movement of said second sear element (4).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A trigger assembly (1) as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lock element (8) includes a stopper (22) extending from said plate (12) to control movement of said lock element (8) rotatable about said pin (17).

### Claim 5

A trigger assembly (1) for preventing accidental gun discharge, said trigger assembly (1) comprising:
a hammer (2) which enables to fire a gun;
a first sear element (3) interconnected with said hammer (2) by a first spring element (11);
a second sear element (4) that allows said first sear element (3) to move in a second direction (B), said second sear element (4) includes a bulge (6);
a lock element (8) presenting a plate (12) that defines a first opening (13) to receive a first end (14) of a second spring (9) and a second opening (16) to receive a pin (17) wherein said second spring (9) is connected to said lock element (8) to overcome the energy of said first sear element (3) to apply pressure to a trigger (5) to lock said trigger (5) thereby preventing said second sear element (4) from moving in a third direction (C) as said second sear element (4) is prevented from moving as said hammer (2) and said first sear element (3) are prevented from moving in the first direction (A) and the second direction (B) thereby preventing any accidental firing of the gun, said lock element (8) includes a cut out portion (7) of a generally rectangular configuration defined between a finger (20) extending from said plate (12) and said second opening (16), said cut out portion (7) is used to mechanically engage said bulge (6) of said second seal element (4) when said lock element (8) is in a locking position thereby preventing movement of said second sear element (4); and
a stopper (22) extending from said plate (12) to control movement of said lock element (8) rotatable about said pin (17).
