Abstract
Catches and trigger apparatus for use with weapons are described. An example trigger apparatus for use with a firearm having a breech block includes a latch moveable between a blocking position that blocks the breech block and a non-blocking position that does not block the breech block. The latch includes a sear arm and a securing element movably coupled to the sear arm. The securing element to enable, with a securing device in a securing position. The latch to be moved to the non-blocking position by a retracting breach. The securing device movable by an advancing breech block to position the securing element adjacent a surface of the securing device in the securing position to secure the latch in the blocking position.
Claims23
A trigger apparatus for use with a firearm having a breech block, comprising:
- a latch moveable between a blocking position that blocks the breech block and a non-blocking position that does not block the breech block, wherein the latch comprises:
- a sear arm comprising a recess;
- a spring assembly;
- and
- a securing element moveable between a first position and a second position relative to the sear arm, wherein the spring assembly is to bias the securing element,
- wherein in the first position, the securing element is positioned at a distance from the sear arm and a surface of a securing device in a securing position to enable the latch to be moved to the non-blocking position and the breech block to retract relative to the weapon,
- wherein in the second position, the securing element is positioned directly adjacent and at least partially received by the recess of the sear arm via the breech block and adjacent the surface of the securing device in the securing position to secure the latch in the blocking position.
A trigger apparatus for use with a firearm having a breech block, comprising:
- a latch moveable between a blocking position that blocks the breech block and a non-blocking position that does not block the breech block, wherein the latch comprises:
- a sear arm;
- a spring assembly;
- and
- a securing element movable relative to the sear arm, the securing element to enable, with a securing device in a securing position, the latch to be moved to the non-blocking position by a retracting breach, the securing element movable by an advancing breech block to position the securing element directly adjacent the sear arm and adjacent a surface of the securing device in the securing position to secure the latch in the blocking position.
A trigger apparatus for use with a firearm having a breech block, comprising:
- a latch moveable between a blocking position that blocks the breech block and a non-blocking position that does not block the breech block, wherein the latch comprises:
- a sear arm;
- a spring assembly;
- and
- a securing element moveable between a first position and a second position relative to the sear arm, in the first position, the securing element to be spaced from the sear arm to enable the latch to be moved to the non-blocking position and the breech block to retract relative to the weapon when a securing device is in a securing position, in the second position, the securing element to be positioned directly adjacent the sear arm and adjacent a surface of the securing device in the securing position by an advancing breech block to secure the latch in the blocking position, an interaction between the securing element in the second position and the sear arm to substantially prevent a load imparted by the breach block from affecting the securing element.
