AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an interfacing controller mechanism that improves the management of firearm trigger movement to produce more precise single discharge events and variable sequential cyclic firing rates. It is designed to be attached to a firearm and has an elliptical forward region that is in contact with the trigger and is under tension from the operator's finger. This mechanism is unique in its design and operation, allowing for better regulation of the firearm trigger discharge and reset positions. Overall, the technology improves the functionality of firearms and enhances the operator's ability to control the trigger movement.

Problems solved by technology

This forward pivoting of what amounts to a manually engaged secondary type trigger within the original trigger housing is antithetical to the normal method that shooters use to discharge a firearm, and the above described prior art structural spring and trigger biasing mechanism and apparatus having a secondary type trigger mechanism is somewhat operationally awkward and problematic, especially when examined in consideration of the subsequent narrative and when reviewed in further comparison to the following referenced prior art and the present novel invention.
Beyond the above issues, the Akins '918 prior art system and design requires a significant number of moving and / or ancillary non Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, including supplements involving the primary firing unit and the secondary supporting elements, which increases the cost and complexity of manufacturing and inventory control while substantively restricting the application of the Akins '918 system to a relatively limited number and type of firearm.

Embodiment Construction

[0098]Referring now to the invention in more detail wherein the figures have like numerals which indicate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views.

[0099]As seen in FIG. 1 on drawing sheet 1 / 18, a serviceable M4 Carbine type firearm 10 is shown schematically in a simplified semitransparent figurative depiction being diagramed in contour outline and perspective view as FIG. 1A.

[0100]In more detail still referring to FIG. 1A, as seen within FIG. 1 on drawing sheet 1 / 18, showing an indicating chain line encompassing in part a figurative one piece lower receiver 12 shown mounted on the M4 Carbine type firearm 10. The figurative one piece lower receiver 12 is linked by single chain line to an enlarged semitransparent perspective view representing the same indicated one piece lower receiver 12 shown as FIG. 1B within the sight region of FIG. 1 as described below. Although the illustrations within FIG. 1 depict a unique one piece lower receiver 12, the majority of AR15 type ...

Abstract

A controlling device and methodology for firearms interfacing the trigger mechanism, trigger finger, and the innermost and / or upper-innermost region of the firing hand as a means to adaptively govern incremental trigger movement and variable trigger pull force in order to accurately discharge a singular round of ammunition and, in alternative method, adaptively regulate and govern a variable cyclic firing ratio and sequential discharge rate. In use, coinciding contraction of the firing hand and trigger finger bring the controller device in concert with the trigger and innermost region of the firing hand thereby effectively isolating the controller with uniformly balanced isometric tension. Trigger movement and trigger pull force being regulated incrementally by utilization of variable isometric tension applied to the controller between the trigger finger, trigger, and the innermost region of the firing hand.

Description

[0001]The present applications claims priority to the earlier filed provisional application having Ser. No. 62 / 346,289 and hereby incorporates subject matter of the provisional application in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to firearms and more distinctly to an interfacing apparatus and operational method which governs the interaction between the firearms trigger, the operators trigger finger, and the innermost region of the operators firing hand thereby regulating trigger movement and the related discharge of ammunition.[0004]2. Description of Related Prior Art[0005]There have been multifarious types of devices and methods developed in the field of firearms in order to govern the discharge of ammunition which have been generally created in order to initiate a single discharge event or increase the firing rate of firearms especially for semiautomatic firearms, including simple methods such as the co...
