Abstract
A safety selector for selectively implementing a firing disabled position for the prevention of unintentional firing of a firearm. The safety selector comprises two prongs adapted to push a cross bolt safety actuation lever to the right or to the left. A DC electrical motor provides torque, which is transferred through a torque transferring mechanism, to the safety selector. The safety selector is particularly useful for actuation via remote control.
Claims3
An actuator configured for use with a firearm safety mechanism configured for selectively implementing a firing disabled position for the prevention of unintentional firing of a firearm and a firing enabled position, said firearm having an over-center toggle mechanism configured for urging said safety mechanism to either a first position and a second position, the first position being associated with firing enablement and the second position being associated with firing disablement, said actuator comprising:
- two prongs configured for alternatively pushing a cross bolt safety actuation lever, to either of said first position and said second position;
- a DC electrical motor, and
- a torque transferring mechanism, configured for transferring torque from said motor to said prongs, said torque transferring mechanism comprising a crankshaft and a pivot mechanism operably connected to said prongs.
