Self-cleaning trigger connector system

Abstract

A self-cleaning trigger connector system resulting in increased reliability comprising a self-cleaning trigger connector and a trigger mechanism housing. The self-cleaning trigger connector is designed with specific contact points to prevent over-travel of the trigger bar when operating in cooperation with the trigger of the firearm. The self-cleaning trigger connector has a first at least one elongated through hole of a predetermined length that allows for a lighter trigger pull and defines a lubrication reservoir. The trigger mechanism housing comprises a second at least one elongated through hole. Debris that accumulates from the interaction between the trigger bar and the self-cleaning trigger connector passes through the first and second at least one elongated through holes. After passing through the first and second at least one elongated through holes, the debris then falls downwardly through a cavity adjacent to the firearm magazine well.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to firearms, and more particularly, to a self-cleaning firearm trigger stop mechanism. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Firearms are mostly used utilized by military, law enforcement, sport enthusiasts, and private owners for target, game and self-defense. Firearms are fired by their trigger mechanisms, more specifically in various firearms trigger connectors are used to regulate and control the movement of triggers to fire firearms. There are many connector types with predetermined angles to control trigger poundage and movement. They may be used to control and regulate the triggers on various firearms. Presently connectors serve only one main purpose that of controlling trigger function. While the existing trigger connectors are adequate for functioning under ideal conditions in the absence of fouling, environmental substances or debris the presence of these things caus...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011] Firing speed means are for increasing firing speed of the firearm by restricting excessive movement of the trigger bar mechanism. The trigger bar mechanism has a trigger member. The firing speed means includes minimizing travel of the trigger member by guiding the trigger bar mechanism upon the first and second bent lips and the first and second legs of the elongated member.

[0025] It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

While the existing trigger connectors are adequate for functioning under ideal conditions in the absence of fouling, environmental substances or debris the presence of these things causes the existing system to lock up and fail to function.

The failure of the existing system during target practice maybe annoying but would not be life threatening, if the trigger system fails during a self defense incident the outcome could be catastrophic resulting in serious injury or a loss of a life.

This generally downward and sideward path of the barrel after the initial discharge of the firearm, caused by the user exerting force beyond the point of firing, results in a reduction of accuracy and precision when firing.

However, this remedy is not precise and generally leaves an unfinished appearance to the firearm.
