Abstract
A trigger mechanism for firing a firearm comprises an electromagnet including a coil and a movable armature actuated by the coil. The armature is connected to the firing pin so as to move the firing pin when the coil is energized by actuating switch means which connects the coil to a source of electrical energy. The switch means is actuated by a trigger lever or button which closes a normally open switch.
Claims19
A trigger mechanism for firearms comprising a movable firing pin, an electromagnet having a coil and a movable armature actuated by said coil, said coil being cylindrical and comprising an outer surface element around said coil and extending beyond one end thereof, said armature being disc-shaped and disposed within said surface element extension, a pair of diaphragms on the ends of said surface element to close said coil and carrying said firing pin at the centers thereof, said armature drivingly connected to said firing pin to move the same when said coil is energized, and switch means for connecting said coil to a souce of electrical energy to energize said coil.
A trigger mechanism for firearms comprising a movable firing pin, an electromagnet having a coil and a movable armature actuated by said coil, said armature drivingly connected to said firing pin to move the same when said coil is energized, switch means for connecting said coil to a source of electrical energy to energize said coil, electromagnetic means in a bolt of a firearm for unlocking said firing pin, said unlocking means comprising a coil and a second armature movable in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the firing pin.
A trigger mechanism for firearms comprising a movable firing pin, an electromagnet having a coil and a movable armature actuated by said coil, said armature drivingly connected to said firing pin to move the same when said coil is energized, switch means for connecting said coil to a source of electrical energy to energize said coil, a casing containing said switch means and having an externally accessible trigger button, said casing being positioned on said firearm in a vertical plane in which lies the longitudinal axis of a firearm handle within the range of a trigger-actuating finger in the firing position, and means for mounting said casing for adjustment in two mutually perpendicular axes one of which is perpendicular to the operating direction of said trigger button.
A trigger mechanism as claimed in claim 19 and a finger rest mounted between said first holder and a second holder and a shaft extending therefrom, and first and second holder clamps adjustably retaining said rest shaft.
