Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of firearms, more specifically to a trigger guard on a firearm.
- a typical configuration of a receiver system for a firearm is shown and includes a grip 20 that is mounted to a receiver 10 .
- the grip is mounted to the receiver so that the user can hold the grip with a thumb and three fingers while resting a trigger finger on a trigger.
- the receiver has downwardly extending arms that are used to mount a trigger guard 25 and to form an enclosure for the trigger.
- a first and a second arm 11 , 12 extend down between the grip 20 and the trigger 15 and extend below the end of the trigger.
- a third and fourth arm 31 , 32 extend between the trigger 15 and a magazine well 50 that is configured to receive a magazine.
- the third and fourth arm 31 , 32 also extend below the trigger.
- the arms 11 , 12 , 31 , 32 in combination with the trigger guard 25 form the enclosure that surrounds and protects the trigger.
- the trigger guard 25 extends between the ends of the first and second arms and the ends of the third and fourth arms to inhibit the inadvertent actuation of the trigger.
- a first end of the trigger guard 25 is rotatably mounted to the first and second arms 11 , 12 via a pin 52 .
- a second end of the trigger guard 25 is connected to the third and fourth arms 31 , 32 via a retaining detent 40 .
- the detent can be actuated so as to allow the trigger guard to be rotated from a horizontal position (i.e., a closed position) to a more vertical position (i.e., an open position).
- the known trigger guard is not suitable when the user is wearing gloves, such as during cold weather conditions. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to move the trigger guard to the open position so that the user can actuate the trigger while wearing thick gloves and the like.
- a significant drawback with having the trigger guard in the open position is that the trigger is more susceptible to unintended actuation and therefore unintended firing of the firearm. It would be therefore be desirable to provide a trigger guard that remains in the closed position and that allows the user to actuate the trigger while wearing gloves without increasing the likelihood of an unintentional actuation of the trigger.
- the first and second arms 11 , 12 are used to support the pin 52 that is used to rotatably mount the trigger guard 25 in place. As illustrated by FIG. 1 , these arms extend below the trigger guard. Thus, the user's finger tends to rub on the ends of the first and second arms. Depending on the finish of the arms, the first and second arms can have edges or burrs that can wear and cause abrasions on or even cut the user's finger.
- the first method modifies the grip with a grip cover. A portion of the grip cover extends over the arms 11 , 12 so that the portion of the two arms that would normally rub on the user's finger is shielded from contact. In this manner, contact with the two arms is prevented.
- the trigger guard cannot be opened, which may be necessary with known trigger guards when a user is wearing thick gloves.
- the second method uses a plastic plug to fill in the gap between trigger guard 25 and the arms 11 , 12 .
- the plastic plug reduces the occurrence of abrasions, but like the grip cover, prevents the opening of the trigger guard.
- a firearm using the known trigger guard and using either of the two described methods is less desirable for a user who is operating the firearm in cold weather conditions where gloves are required. It would therefore be beneficial to provide a solution that reduces abrasions to the finger of the user while enabling use of the firearm with the trigger guard in a closed position and when the user is wearing gloves.
- the present invention is directed at overcoming these and other known problems with firearms and the known trigger guards used on these firearms.
- the present invention is directed to a firearm having a receiver system that includes a trigger guard of the invention.
- the trigger guard defines a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to mount to a first arm and a second arm extending from the receiver system via a retaining pin.
- the second end of the trigger guard is configured to mount to a third arm and a fourth arm also extending from the receiver system via a detent.
- the trigger guard of the invention is configured so that a portion of the first end extends below the first and the second arm so as to minimize abrasive contact between the user's fingers and the first and the second arms.
- the first end of the trigger guard extends from the retaining pin in a downward angled direction.
- the second end of the trigger guard also extends from the detent in a downward angled direction.
- the trigger guard is configured so that a middle portion provides a transition between the first end and the second end.
- the trigger guard forms a larger enclosure around the trigger thereby permitting a user to operate the firearm when wearing thick gloves.

- middle portion 130 has a horizontal section that provides a transition between the first end 126 and the second end 127 . Other profiles are possible but preferably the middle section 130 will provide a smooth transition between the first end 126 and the second end 127 so as to reduce the occurrence of an edge that might potentially damage the user's finger during operation of the firearm.
- the configuration of the trigger guard 125 creates a larger enclosure around the trigger 150 .

- the dimensions of the trigger guard 125 are configured so that the distance between the first hole 128 and the second hole 129 is about the same as the distance between the similar holes on the prior art trigger guard 25 (i.e., about 1.8 inches).
- the trigger guard 125 is configured to allow retrofitting of the trigger guard 125 to an existing firearm that currently uses the prior art trigger guard.
- the first end 126 of the trigger guard 125 has a top edge 251 and a bottom edge 252 .
- the distance between the top edge 251 and the bottom edge 252 is about 0.34 inches.
- the middle portion 130 has a top edge 253 and a bottom edge 254 .
- the distance between the top edge 253 and the bottom edge 254 is about 0.1 inches.
- the described dimensions are merely illustrative and other shapes, configurations and dimensions of the trigger guard are possible.
- the distance between the top edge 251 and the bottom edge 252 will be sufficient so that when the trigger guard 125 is installed, the user's finger will not rub on the arms 110 and 112 .
- the distance between the top edge 252 and the bottom edge 254 is about 0.63 inches. Other dimensions are possible. Reducing the distance between the top edge 252 and the bottom edge 254 decreases the enclosure around the trigger and thus decreases the space for the user's finger and makes operating the firearm more difficult with gloves. Increasing the distance between the top edge 252 and bottom edge 254 , however, can have the effect of creating an undesirable visual appearance.
- the trigger guard 125 is preferably made of an extruded metal such as aluminum. Naturally, manufacturing methods other than extruding the trigger guard are possible as are other materials. In alternative embodiment, the material can be made of a plastic, composite or ceramic material having suitable strength and wear characteristics.
- FIG. 5 b depicts an isometric view of an embodiment of a trigger guard 125 of the present invention.

Abstract
A firearm includes a receiver further including a trigger and a trigger guard. The trigger guard comprises a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to mount to a first arm and a second arm of the receiver and is further configured so that a portion of the trigger guard extends below the first and second arm. The second end is configured to mount to a third and forth arm of the receiver. The first end and the second end extend at angles so as to provide additional room for the user's finger in the enclosure surrounding the trigger.
Description
- This application claims benefit to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/542,905 filed Feb. 9, 2004.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of firearms, more specifically to a trigger guard on a firearm.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a typical configuration of a receiver system for a firearm is shown and includes agrip 20 that is mounted to areceiver 10. The grip is mounted to the receiver so that the user can hold the grip with a thumb and three fingers while resting a trigger finger on a trigger. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the receiver has downwardly extending arms that are used to mount atrigger guard 25 and to form an enclosure for the trigger. Specifically, a first and asecond arm grip 20 and thetrigger 15 and extend below the end of the trigger. A third andfourth arm trigger 15 and a magazine well 50 that is configured to receive a magazine. The third andfourth arm arms trigger guard 25 form the enclosure that surrounds and protects the trigger. - As can be appreciated, it is undesirable to inadvertently actuate the trigger. The
trigger guard 25 extends between the ends of the first and second arms and the ends of the third and fourth arms to inhibit the inadvertent actuation of the trigger. In particular, a first end of thetrigger guard 25 is rotatably mounted to the first andsecond arms pin 52. A second end of thetrigger guard 25 is connected to the third andfourth arms detent 40. In operation, the detent can be actuated so as to allow the trigger guard to be rotated from a horizontal position (i.e., a closed position) to a more vertical position (i.e., an open position). - While the trigger guard is used to prevent the inadvertent actuation of the trigger, the known trigger guard is not suitable when the user is wearing gloves, such as during cold weather conditions. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to move the trigger guard to the open position so that the user can actuate the trigger while wearing thick gloves and the like. A significant drawback with having the trigger guard in the open position is that the trigger is more susceptible to unintended actuation and therefore unintended firing of the firearm. It would be therefore be desirable to provide a trigger guard that remains in the closed position and that allows the user to actuate the trigger while wearing gloves without increasing the likelihood of an unintentional actuation of the trigger.
- Other problems and drawbacks exist with respect to known trigger guards. For example, certain ergonomic aspects of the pistol grip connection to the lower receiver are not ideal. As previously mentioned, the first and
second arms pin 52 that is used to rotatably mount thetrigger guard 25 in place. As illustrated byFIG. 1 , these arms extend below the trigger guard. Thus, the user's finger tends to rub on the ends of the first and second arms. Depending on the finish of the arms, the first and second arms can have edges or burrs that can wear and cause abrasions on or even cut the user's finger. - In an effort to overcome this problem, two basic methods have been used. The first method modifies the grip with a grip cover. A portion of the grip cover extends over the
arms - The second method uses a plastic plug to fill in the gap between
trigger guard 25 and thearms - The present invention is directed at overcoming these and other known problems with firearms and the known trigger guards used on these firearms.
- The present invention is directed to a firearm having a receiver system that includes a trigger guard of the invention. In an exemplary embodiment, the trigger guard defines a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to mount to a first arm and a second arm extending from the receiver system via a retaining pin. The second end of the trigger guard is configured to mount to a third arm and a fourth arm also extending from the receiver system via a detent. The trigger guard of the invention is configured so that a portion of the first end extends below the first and the second arm so as to minimize abrasive contact between the user's fingers and the first and the second arms.
- In another aspect of the invention, the first end of the trigger guard extends from the retaining pin in a downward angled direction. The second end of the trigger guard also extends from the detent in a downward angled direction. The trigger guard is configured so that a middle portion provides a transition between the first end and the second end. In this exemplary embodiment, the trigger guard forms a larger enclosure around the trigger thereby permitting a user to operate the firearm when wearing thick gloves.

It is preferable that thetrigger guard 125 provide a transition between the first and second angle so that abrupt changes in the profile of thetrigger guard 125 are avoided. As depicted,middle portion 130 has a horizontal section that provides a transition between thefirst end 126 and thesecond end 127. Other profiles are possible but preferably themiddle section 130 will provide a smooth transition between thefirst end 126 and thesecond end 127 so as to reduce the occurrence of an edge that might potentially damage the user's finger during operation of the firearm. When installed on the firearm, the configuration of thetrigger guard 125 creates a larger enclosure around thetrigger 150. -
FIG. 5 a illustrates a side view of an embodiment of thetrigger guard 125 of the present invention. Thefirst side 126 of thetrigger guard 125 has ahole 128 configured to mount to thearms pin 152. Thesecond side 127 has ahole 129 configured to mount to thearms detent 140. As stated, thetrigger guard 125 has amiddle portion 130 that joins thefirst side 126 and thesecond side 127. In an exemplary embodiment, thetrigger guard 125 defines aninterior wall 118 that is contoured and provides a smooth interior surface. - The dimensions of the
trigger guard 125 are configured so that the distance between thefirst hole 128 and thesecond hole 129 is about the same as the distance between the similar holes on the prior art trigger guard 25 (i.e., about 1.8 inches). Thus, thetrigger guard 125 is configured to allow retrofitting of thetrigger guard 125 to an existing firearm that currently uses the prior art trigger guard. - As depicted in
FIG. 5 a, thefirst end 126 of thetrigger guard 125 has atop edge 251 and abottom edge 252. In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between thetop edge 251 and thebottom edge 252 is about 0.34 inches. Themiddle portion 130 has atop edge 253 and abottom edge 254. In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between thetop edge 253 and thebottom edge 254 is about 0.1 inches. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described dimensions are merely illustrative and other shapes, configurations and dimensions of the trigger guard are possible. In an embodiment, the distance between thetop edge 251 and thebottom edge 252 will be sufficient so that when thetrigger guard 125 is installed, the user's finger will not rub on thearms bottom edge 252 too far below thearms trigger 150 while holding onto thegrip 200 with the other fingers. - In an exemplary embodiment, the distance between the
top edge 252 and thebottom edge 254 is about 0.63 inches. Other dimensions are possible. Reducing the distance between thetop edge 252 and thebottom edge 254 decreases the enclosure around the trigger and thus decreases the space for the user's finger and makes operating the firearm more difficult with gloves. Increasing the distance between thetop edge 252 andbottom edge 254, however, can have the effect of creating an undesirable visual appearance. - The
trigger guard 125 is preferably made of an extruded metal such as aluminum. Naturally, manufacturing methods other than extruding the trigger guard are possible as are other materials. In alternative embodiment, the material can be made of a plastic, composite or ceramic material having suitable strength and wear characteristics. -
FIG. 5 b depicts an isometric view of an embodiment of atrigger guard 125 of the present invention. As depicted, the trigger guard defines opposingsides trigger guard 125, is approximately 0.43 inches, or approximately the same width as the priorart trigger guard 25. - Variations and modifications of the foregoing are within the scope of the present invention. It should be understood that the invention disclosed and defined herein extends to all alternative combinations of two or more of the individual features mentioned or evident from the text and/or drawings. All of these different combinations constitute various alternative aspects of the present invention. The embodiments described herein explain the best modes known for practicing the invention and will enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention. The claims are to be construed to include alternative embodiments to the extent permitted by the prior art.
