Self-loading firearm with components to push fire

Abstract

The current invention discloses a semi-automatic firearm which has two sections which can move independently of each other in opposite directions, in line with the barrel. One section contains the barrel and a trigger that can be pushed forward to activate the gun. The second section contains a trigger activator such as a rod, edge, or object or it positions or supports a body part as the activator such as a finger or thumb and may contain a hand grip or shoulder stock for support and / or leverage. A shooter holds the firearm up using up to two hands and optionally shouldering it for support and aims to shoot. Once the activator object or body part pushes into the push activated trigger, it activates the next step in the firing sequence of the self-loading firearm such as the release of a hammer, striker, or other object or impulse that ultimately causes the cartridge or round in the gun to be fired. Once fired, the self-loading gun cycles, typically ejecting the used case, and resetting the internal mechanisms.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Disclosure[0001]Examples of the present disclosure are related to semi-automatic firearms and / or accessories for semi-automatic firearms including a new firearm system and / or conversions of existing firearms to the system.Background[0002]Firearms are a common tool in America for self-defense, hunting, and recreation. Self-loading firearms are particularly useful in defense of one's life because, as opposed to single shot or manually reloaded firearms, it allows more shots to be made in less time greatly increasing the opportunity for the defender to stop a threat. Self-loading firearms are very useful for other lawful purposes as well. Disabled persons may not have the required body parts or dexterity to pull a trigger but wish to be able to use a firearm for self-defense and lawful purposes. Or, disabled persons, may have one arm and hand with normal dexterity, but lack a second hand capable of supporting a larger firearm designed for two handed use, but they...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a firearm that has two sections that move independently of each other. One section contains the barrel and a trigger, while the other section contains a trigger activating rod or object, a hand grip or shoulder stock for support, and a body part such as a finger or thumb that activates the trigger when it moves. The firearm can be held and aimed with one hand and the front portion of the gun is held steady by a support arm or other surface. The second section is pushed forward relative to the first section to activate the trigger. This firearm is designed to have a unique and efficient triggering mechanism that activates the next step in the firing sequence when the body part pushes into the trigger. Once fired, the firearm cycles and it is ready to be fired again with a new round of ammunition. The technical effects of this design include improved triggering and efficiency, as well as a unique and reliable mechanism for activating the next step in the firing sequence.

Problems solved by technology

These forces are small for the stronger muscles of the arms and torso, but can be burdensome, prohibitive, or painful for disabled persons with low dexterity in their hands or missing one or more fingers or hands.

Current triggers and operating mechanisms do not allow for the user to use the stronger muscles of their body to activate the trigger or fire hand held self-loading firearms.

Such weapons are not self-loading making them poorly suited for self-defense.

These trigger systems and their host firearms still require a good degree of fine motor skills, and are ill suited for portability such as firing while carrying the gun without mechanical supports or mounts.
