Drop-in adjustable trigger assembly with camming safety linkage
First Claim
1. A drop-in adjustable trigger assembly, having a housing incorporating first and second spaced wall plates;
- a trigger bracket pivotally mounted between said wall plates and configured to pivot within the housing about a pivot point positioned within the housing;
a removable trigger shoe carried by said trigger bracket;
an adjustable rocker mounted on said trigger bracket;
a bolt sear pivotally mounted between said wall plates and having a first latching end and a spaced second end;
a trigger sear pivotally mounted between said wall plates and having a first end engaging said rocker on said rocker and a second end engagable with said bolt sear latching end;
a reset spring extending between and engaging said bolt sear and said trigger sear;
a safety mechanism actuable by a thumb safety lever mounted on said housing and incorporating a pivotable sear safety linkage mounted between said housing wall plates and movable in corresponding safety linkage slots defined in the wall plates to guide the pivoting sear safety linkage to engage said bolt sear in response to actuation of said thumb safety lever;
a first stage movement adjustment for said rocker; and
a second stage length adjustment for said trigger sear.

Abstract
A drop-in adjustable trigger assembly has a camming safety linkage to selectively move and engage a bolt sear to positively prevent movement of the bolt sear. The drop-in trigger assembly housing carries a pivoting bolt sear engagement member which is connected to a sear safety linkage. The housing has a sear safety linkage slot defined therein which guides the pivoting sear safety linkage in response to actuation of an upwardly projecting thumb safety lever'"'"'s actuation. A trigger bracket preferably carries a removable, reversible trigger shoe and is configured to pivot within the housing about a pivot point within the housing, and the trigger bracket carries an adjustable rocker having (preferably) a first stage movement adjustment and a second stage length adjustment. The pivoting safety mechanism'"'"'s safety linkage pivots rearwardly to push upon or cam the bolt sear upwardly, thus disengaging the bolt sear from the trigger sear.

14. A drop-in adjustable trigger assembly configured to selectively engage or release a firearm'"'"'s bolt sear, comprising:
-
a drop-in housing including a first side-plate and a second side-plate; a pivoting, spring-biased bolt sear engaging member movably suspended between said first side-plate and said second side-plate; a pivoting, spring-biased trigger sear member movably suspended between said first side-plate and said second side-plate; a pivoting, camming safety linkage movably suspended between said first side-plate and said second side-plate, said camming safety linkage being configured with a lower pivot pin and an upper pivot pin to selectively move between a safe position and a fire position and to selectively engage or disengage said bolt sear engaging member and said trigger sear member; wherein said camming safety linkage is configured to selectively block the bolt sear engaging member'"'"'s movement when in said safe position, keeping said bolt sear engaging member rigidly locked against the firearm'"'"'s bolt sear while simultaneously disconnecting the bolt sear engaging member from the trigger sear member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
