Abstract
A rotational safety device for a firearm is provided that replaces a traditional cross bar safety device and is installed within a trigger mechanism to rotate about an axis. The safety device may include a recessed portion that may be rotationally positioned to face a trigger to allow the trigger to be completely depressed. The safety device also includes one or more locking positions in a range of rotation to be engaged by a guide pin.
Claims20
A firearm safety apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical safety member, the cylindrical safety is adapted to rotate between at least a first position and a second position within a hole disposed in a trigger housing of a firearm and includes a notched region, an unnotched region, and a plurality of positioning apertures positioned in a bore in the unnotched region,
- wherein the notched region is adapted to receive a rear portion of a trigger of the firearm with respect to a firing direction of the firearm when the first cylindrical portion is in the first position and the notched region is adapted to not receive the rear portion of the trigger when the first cylindrical portion is in the second position,
- wherein the unnotched region is adapted to face and abuttedly engage the rear portion of the trigger when the first cylindrical portion is in the second position and the unnotched region is adapted to not face the rear portion of the trigger when the first cylindrical portion is in the first position, and
- wherein the positioning apertures are each adapted to successively engage a guide pin of the trigger housing of the firearm when the first cylindrical portion is rotated within the hole between the first position and the second position.
