US12553680 - Dynamically balanced trigger system

A dynamically balanced trigger system for a firearm. The dynamically balanced trigger has a specific design, orientation, weights, and cutouts such as to provide a balanced trigger, where the chances of accidental discharge due to drops, shocks, and impacts are dramatically reduced. Unlike other triggers, the dynamically balanced trigger system has a trigger with a center of gravity near the center point of the trigger, which weights the trigger components against itself to prevent movement, such as may be caused by dropping the firearm, thereby helping prevent an unintentional discharge of the firearm.

The patent describes a dynamically balanced trigger system designed to minimize the risk of accidental discharge in firearms by ensuring the trigger’s center of gravity is optimized. This innovative design incorporates specific weights and cutouts to counteract movement caused by external impacts, enhancing safety during handling.

Claim 1

1 . A trigger system comprising: a housing; a trigger assembly comprising, a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing about a first bore of the trigger, and a disconnector coupled to the trigger at a second bore of the trigger, wherein the trigger assembly is substantially balanced about the first bore; a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing at a first end; and a sear operably engaging the disconnector and the hammer, and rotationally coupled to the housing. a housing; a trigger assembly comprising, a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing about a first bore of the trigger, and a disconnector coupled to the trigger at a second bore of the trigger, wherein the trigger assembly is substantially balanced about the first bore; a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing about a first bore of the trigger, and a disconnector coupled to the trigger at a second bore of the trigger, wherein the trigger assembly is substantially balanced about the first bore; a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing at a first end; and a sear operably engaging the disconnector and the hammer, and rotationally coupled to the housing.
