Trigger safety device for a firearm and the like
First Claim
1. A trigger related safety device for a firearm comprising a main trigger and a secondary trigger which is incorporated with the main trigger so that the secondary trigger is movable with the main trigger when the main trigger moves in a first direction when squeezed to fire the firearm, or in a second opposite direction when released;
- the secondary trigger being reciprocally movable relative to the main trigger between a first or operative and a second or inoperative position; and
a locking member associated with the secondary trigger which, when the secondary trigger is in the said operative position, serves positively to lock the main trigger to a stationary part of the firearm so preventing the main trigger from moving in said first direction; and
when the secondary trigger is in the said inoperative position, the main trigger is free to move with the secondary trigger in said first direction;
the said locking member comprising an elongated pin having a longitudinal axis which extends transversely the said first and second directions, the pin being slidably moveable in at least one direction which extends parallel to the pin'"'"'s longitudinal axis between a first position when one end of the pin engages a complementary catch formation on said stationary part of the firearm when the secondary trigger is in the said operative position to a second position where said one end of the pin is disengaged from the catch formation when the secondary trigger is in said inoperative position.

Abstract
A trigger related safety device for a firearm or the like comprising a secondary trigger (24) which is reciprocally movable relative to the main trigger (10) between a first or operative position and a second or inoperative position, and a locking member (35) associated with the secondary trigger (24) which, when the latter is in the said operative position, serves positively to lock the main trigger (10) to a stationery part of the firearm or the like so preventing the main trigger (10) from moving in the direction where the firing mechanism of the firearm will be activated, and when the secondary trigger (24) is in the said inoperative position, the main trigger (10) is free to move in the said direction.
