US12529538 - Safety mechanism for firearm

A safety mechanism for a firearm includes a cam selector, a lever, and a trigger. The cam selector comprises a first end, a second end, a top side, and a bottom side. The cam selector comprises a longitudinal slot positioned on the top side of the cam selector. The lever comprises a proximal end and a distal end. The longitudinal slot is configured to receive the lever. The cam selector further comprises a first recess and a second recess on the bottom side of the cam selector. The trigger comprises a first trigger tail portion. In addition to the standard semi-automatic and safe modes, the present invention provides an additional active reset mode in which the cam selector is configured to allow the first trigger tail portion to engage the second recess and be moved down by a cam portion of the second recess when the cam selector rotates.

US12510317 - Firearm semiautomatic trigger mechanism

A trigger mechanism having a hammer, a trigger member, movable ejector lever, and locking member. The trigger member being forced to the set position by the hammer during rearward pivoting. A locking member is adapted to move between a first position at which the locking member mechanically blocks the trigger member from moving to the released position and a second position at which the locking member does not mechanically block the trigger member allowing the trigger member to be moved to the released position. The locking member is spring biased toward the first position and moved against the spring bias to the second position by contact from the movable ejector lever during forward movement of the bolt carrier as the bolt carrier reaches a substantially in-battery position.

US12510318 - Firearm trigger

Disclosed is a linear trigger mechanism for a firearm. In certain examples, the trigger mechanism includes a trigger housing configured to couple with a fire control unit of the firearm, and a trigger slideably coupled with the trigger housing and movable along a linear path. The linear trigger mechanism also includes a trigger bar having a first end coupled with the trigger and a second end coupled with a sear activation module, where the sear activation module is moveable with respect to the fire control unit along a longitudinal path with the trigger bar, and where the sear activation module is moveable laterally with respect to the trigger bar.

US12498191 - Adjustable trigger assembly and method of adjusting pre-travel distance

A trigger assembly apparatus for a firearm which allows adjustment of the pre-travel distance a trigger travels before initiating a firing sequence and method of making the pre-travel adjustment using the apparatus disclosed herein. The apparatus generally comprises a trigger and a trigger bow, with the trigger bow having at least one threaded receptacle in a front lateral portion thereof. The pre-travel adjustment can be achieved by rotating a threaded fastener within the threaded receptacle and the method of adjusting the pre-travel can be accomplished without complete disassembly of the firearm.

US12480728 - Firearm trigger with safety blade

A safety trigger system comprising a trigger housing, a safety blade member, a safety latch member configured to interfere with a firearm housing preventing the entire trigger stroke and the release of the firearm firing pin. The safety blade member and the safety latch member disposed within the trigger housing and held into a pre-depressed state through resistance force provided by a resistance member.

US12480740 - Two-part folding trigger for a folding firearm

The present disclosure describes a foldable firearm that collapses into a folded state under spring pressure. The foldable firearm may include a foldable grip assembly. The foldable grip assembly may include a foldable pistol grip, a foldable trigger assembly, a folding bar, and a foldable hand stop. The foldable grip assembly may fold into the housing of the foldable firearm. The foldable grip assembly may include a two-part folding trigger a part of which folds forward when the platform folds, to compress the vertical profile of the platform and also to present an inherent safety in the stowed configuration. The foldable firearm can also include a manual safety accessible from outside a housing of the platform that renders a trigger bar incapable of movement and release of the striking mechanism when the safety is engaged.

US12474135 - Firearm trigger chock

A firearm trigger chock that may include a chock portion and a forward extending plate having an aperture. The chock portion is configured to prevent depression of the trigger. The chock portion has an interior side and an exterior side, and a trigger-engaging surface that substantially corresponds with the dimension and curvature of the rear of a trigger. In a version, the aperture extends through the plate and forward of the trigger.

US12467706 - Trigger mechanism for firearms

The invention is aimed at improving the accuracy of shooting by reducing the force on a trigger of a firearm during firing. The technical result is achieved by the fact that the design of the trigger mechanism includes a housing in which a hammer and a hammer spring are installed, a tubular axle on which the trigger having a groove allowing longitudinal movement along the axle is installed, thereby disengaging a return mechanism installed in its housing, a roller sear, and a single-fire sear. To engage the return mechanism, the trigger and the hammer are equipped with cams, and when a breechblock carrier is recoiled, the hammer is lowered and its cam affects the trigger cam, forcing the trigger to move backwards (if it has been moved to a forward position before). The return mechanism is also engaged when a safety lock is activated.
