Trigger assembly
First Claim
1. A trigger assembly comprising:
- a frame;
a trigger pivotally connected to said frame at a trigger pivot;
said trigger has a trigger top and a trigger bottom, and said trigger is pivotally connected to said frame adjacent said trigger top;
a transfer bar pivotally connected to said frame, said transfer bar has a transfer bar top and a transfer bar bottom; and
a sear pivotally connected to said frame,wherein;
said trigger engages said transfer bar at a location below said trigger pivot,said transfer bar engages said sear to prevent said sear from dropping in a ready position, andsaid transfer bar ceases engagement with said sear to allow said sear to drop under operation of said trigger wherein said trigger contacts said transfer bar at one or more locations between said transfer bar point of pivotal connection and said transfer bar top, whereby said trigger causes said transfer bar to rotate opposite the direction of rotation of said trigger.

Abstract
A trigger is provided and may be pivotally connected to a frame at or near the top of the trigger. A sear transfer bar may be further provided and is pivotally connected to the frame. The pivot in the trigger is higher within the frame as compared to the pivot of the sear transfer bar. Two balls can be between the trigger and the sear transfer bar. The top of the sear transfer bar has a sear contact. Pulling the trigger in a first direction causes the trigger to rotate in a first direction. The sear transfer bar rotates under force of the trigger. The sear transfer bar and the trigger may rotate in opposite directions. The sear will drop when the sear contact of the transfer bar ceases engagement with the sear, causing the firearm to fire.

11. A trigger assembly comprising:
-
a frame; a trigger having a trigger top and a trigger bottom, said trigger being pivotally connected to said frame adjacent said trigger top; a transfer bar having a transfer bar top and a transfer bar bottom, said transfer bar being pivotally connected to said frame between said transfer bar top and said transfer bar bottom; a force component between said trigger and said transfer bar biasing said transfer bar bottom away from said trigger; and a sear pivotally connected to said frame, wherein; said transfer bar engages said sear to prevent said sear from dropping in a ready position, and rotation of said trigger overcomes the biasing of said force component and said trigger engages said transfer bar causing said transfer bar to rotate relative said frame such that said transfer bar bottom moves towards said trigger and said transfer bar ceases engagement with said sear to allow said sear to pivot relative said frame wherein said trigger contacts said transfer bar at one or more locations between said transfer bar point of pivotal connection and said transfer bar top, whereby said trigger causes said transfer bar to rotate opposite the direction of rotation of said trigger. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
