US12553681 - 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 dynamically balanced trigger system for firearms is designed to minimize the risk of accidental discharge from impacts by ensuring the trigger’s center of gravity is strategically positioned. This system includes multiple operational modes—semi-automatic, fully-automatic, and safe—along with various components like sears and disconnectors that work together to enhance safety and functionality.

Claim 1

1 . A trigger system for a firearm, the trigger system comprising: a housing; a selector configured to be adjusted relative to the housing to set the trigger system in each of a semi-automatic mode, a fully-automatic mode, and a safe mode; a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing; a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing; a first sear rotationally coupled to the housing and configured to selectively engage the hammer when the trigger system is in the semi-automatic mode; a second sear rotationally coupled to the housing and configured to selectively engage the hammer when the trigger system is in the fully-automatic mode; a disconnector rotationally coupled to the trigger and configured to selectively engage the first sear when the trigger system is in the semi-automatic mode; and a connector rotationally coupled to the trigger and configured to selectively engage the first sear when the trigger system is in the fully-automatic mode. a housing; a selector configured to be adjusted relative to the housing to set the trigger system in each of a semi-automatic mode, a fully-automatic mode, and a safe mode; a trigger rotationally coupled to the housing; a hammer rotationally coupled to the housing; a first sear rotationally coupled to the housing and configured to selectively engage the hammer when the trigger system is in the semi-automatic mode; a second sear rotationally coupled to the housing and configured to selectively engage the hammer when the trigger system is in the fully-automatic mode; a disconnector rotationally coupled to the trigger and configured to selectively engage the first sear when the trigger system is in the semi-automatic mode; and a connector rotationally coupled to the trigger and configured to selectively engage the first sear when the trigger system is in the fully-automatic mode.
