Abstract
An adjustable trigger stop assembly comprises a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end. The first and second lateral arms each have an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other. An intermediate portion is formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively. The intermediate portion has at least a first facet spaced from the axis and a second facet spaced from the axis, the first and second facets in use engaging a trigger so that each facet permits different amounts of movement of the trigger.

An adjustable trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having at least a first facet spaced from the axis and a second facet spaced from the axis, the first and second facets for engaging a trigger so that each permits different amounts of movement of the trigger;
- wherein the first facet is spaced a greater distance from the axis, and the second facet is spaced a lesser distance from the axis.
An adjustable trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having at least a first facet spaced from the axis and a second facet spaced from the axis, the first and second facets for engaging a trigger so that each permits different amounts of movement of the trigger;
- wherein the first facet is spaced from the axis by a distance which causes engagement with the trigger to substantially lock the trigger and the second facet is spaced from the axis by a lesser distance than the first facet to unlock the trigger;
- and
- at least one additional facet spaced from the axis a distance intermediate that of the first and second facets from the axis.
An adjustable trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having at least a first facet spaced from the axis and a second facet spaced from the axis, the first and second facets for engaging a trigger so that each permits different amounts of movement of the trigger;
- and
- a rotating mechanism whereby the adjustable trigger stop assembly can be rotated about the axis, wherein a selected radial position of the adjustable trigger stop assembly determines the facet which will be operational with respect to the trigger.
An adjustable trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having at least a first facet spaced from the axis and a second facet spaced from the axis, the first and second facets for engaging a trigger so that each permits different amounts of movement of the trigger;
- wherein the intermediate portion defines a recess between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively the recess depth varying according to the distance between the facet and the axis;
- and
- wherein the recess is configured so as to receive a portion of a sear.
An adjustable trigger stop assembly for controlling the extent of movement of a trigger in a paintball marker with which it is associated, the trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having a plurality of facets arranged circumferentially on the intermediate portion, each facet stopping movement of the trigger to end the trigger stroke, each facet being differently spaced from the axis to permit a different trigger stroke;
- and
- wherein the intermediate portion defines a recess between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the recess depth varying according to the distance between the facet and the axis.
An adjustable trigger stop assembly for controlling the extent of movement of a trigger in a paintball marker with which it is associated, the trigger stop assembly comprising:
- a first generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end and a second generally cylindrical lateral arm having an inner end and an outer end, the first and second lateral arms each having an aligned axis, with the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively facing each other;
- an intermediate portion formed on the axis between the inner ends of the first and second lateral arms respectively, the intermediate portion having a plurality of facets arranged circumferentially on the intermediate portion, each facet stopping movement of the trigger to end the trigger stroke, each facet being differently spaced from the axis to permit a different trigger stroke;
- and
- wherein the plurality of facets comprises a first facet spaced from the axis by a distance which causes engagement with the trigger to substantially lock the trigger and a second facet spaced from the axis by a lesser distance than the first facet to unlock the trigger.
