An electronic trigger system with safety mechanism for firearms includes a trigger unit comprising an electromagnetic actuator operably coupled to the firing mechanism and a programmable trigger mechanism microcontroller. The actuator is changeable between a non-powered unactuated position and powered actuated firing position via pulling both an outer trigger and inner safety trigger of the trigger unit. The actuator is operably interfaced with a movable firing component of the firing mechanism operable to discharge the firearm. In a blocking position of the safety trigger, the safety trigger is configured to block outer trigger movement which prevents energizing and actuating the electromagnetic actuator thereby preventing the firearm from discharging. Conversely in an unblocking position, the safety trigger allows outer trigger movement sufficient to discharge the firearm by either energizing the actuator when a pre-selected trigger pull force threshold is applied or applying sufficient trigger force to manually trip the actuator.

An elastomer shock absorber for the trigger assembly of a firearm utilizing an elastomer shock absorber positioned between a moving part of the trigger assembly and the frame assembly. Adhesive mounting of the elastomer to the back of the trigger or positioning the elastomer internal to the frame assembly both provide significant reductions in the shock transfer of trigger energy to the gun body, thereby increasing the accuracy of the firearm.

A trigger device is disclosed. The trigger device comprises a housing, a trigger, a reverser, and a first pull wight adjustment mechanism. The trigger is rotatably mounted in the housing via a trigger pivot pin. The trigger comprises a trigger tooth. The reverser is rotatably mounted in the housing via a reverser pivot pin. The reverser comprises a reverser tooth. The first pull weight adjustment mechanism is coupled between the trigger and the reverser to bias the trigger in a first direction and the reverser in an opposite direction. Actuation of the trigger causes the trigger to rotate in the opposite direction, the trigger tooth to engage the reverser tooth, and the reverser to rotate in the first direction.

The present invention relates to a firearm comprising a trigger safety, said firearm comprising a frame and a trigger (3), the trigger (3) being positioned on a trigger axis (6) positioned on a trigger lever (4) commanding an ignition chain, said trigger lever (3) being positioned on a trigger lever axis (7) fixed to the frame, said trigger lever (3) being able to switch from an idle position to a position triggering a shot and said trigger (3) being able to switch from an idle position where the trigger bears on the trigger lever on a first bearing surface (11) and a firing position where the trigger (3) bears on the trigger lever (4) on a second bearing surface (10), resilient means (5) keeping the trigger (3) in the idle position when no pressure is applied thereto, characterized in that said trigger (3) comprises a trigger blocking surface (2) bearing on a corresponding blocking element (1) on the frame blocking the rotation of the trigger lever (4) when the trigger (3) is idle and said trigger blocking surface (2) retracting when the trigger rotates on its axis (6) relative to the trigger lever (4), freeing the rotation of the trigger lever (4).

An interruptible electronic trigger system for firearms includes a trigger unit comprising an electromagnetic actuator operably coupled to the firing mechanism and a programmable trigger microcontroller. The actuator is changeable between a non-powered unactuated position and powered actuated firing position. Upon detecting user initiated trigger activity, the trigger microcontroller transmits a shot initiated signal to an adaptive optics unit of a fire control targeting system mounted to the firearm when the trigger activity exceeds a preprogrammed trigger setpoint. A targeting microcontroller returns a shot authorization signal to the trigger microcontroller after performing ballistics computations based on sensor input and displaying a corrected reticle on the optics unit sight for user visual alignment with the target. Multiple trigger setpoints may be programmed to confirm continued intent to fire. The trigger microcontroller may deactivate the actuator and permit manual firing when preprogrammed maximum trigger force/displacement limits are exceeded.

The embodiments described herein include a trigger assembly for a firearm including a rotatable disconnector biased by a detent ball and a return spring to reset the trigger, whereby resetting said trigger causes the rotation of said disconnector to completely decompress said return spring thereby providing no spring pressure on the trigger.
