Abstract
A device for cyclically operating a trigger of a firearm includes a glove having a finger stall, a pull mounted at the finger stall, and a drive mechanism coupled to the pull to move the finger stall from a bent configuration toward a straight configuration. The drive mechanism actuates in response to an activation signal.
Claims16
A device comprising:
- a base;
- a spar extending forwardly from the base, the spar terminates at a pivot;
- a rigid pull mounted at the pivot for pivotal movement, the pull configured to hold a finger;
- a contact switch carried on the pull for detecting contact between the pull and an object;
- and
- a drive mechanism operatively coupled to the pull to move the pull from a bent configuration of the finger toward a straight configuration of the finger;
- wherein the drive mechanism actuates in response to an activation signal comprising the contact switch detecting the contact between the pull and an object.

A device comprising:
- a base and a spar extending forwardly from the base, the spar terminates at a pivot;
- a rigid pull mounted at the pivot for pivotal movement, the pull configured to hold a finger;
- biasing means for biasing the pull in a first direction, the biasing means comprising a drive mechanism carried on the base and operatively coupled to the pull to bias the pull between first and second positions along the first direction;
- a switch coupled to the biasing means;
- wherein in response to an activation of the switch, the biasing means cyclically actuates to cyclically bias the pull in the first direction.
