Abstract:
1. A one piece trigger for a lever action rifle having a hammer mounted for pivotal movement from an uncocked position through a half cocked position to a cocked position, said hammer having a convex surface which rotates against a concave surface of a sear on the trigger, the convex surface of the hammer having a half cock notch and a full cock notch cut into its surface such that a point on the sear will click into one of the half cock notch or the full cock notch as the hammer is cocked or rotatably biased back against a mainspring thereby holding the hammer in either its half cocked or its cocked position, said rifle being safe when the hammer is cocked to the half cock position and capable of being fired when the hammer is cocked to the full cock position and the trigger is pulled to release the sear from the full cock notch allowing the hammer to rotate forward under pressure from the mainspring and strike the firing pin wherein: Said trigger has an elliptically shaped trigger pivot hole and a round trigger pin which allows the trigger to change positions by sliding on the trigger pin as the hammer is cocked so that the point of the sear clears the half cock and full cock notches on the hammer allowing the hammer to be cocked and then slip back into its original position under pressure from the mainspring after the point of the sear clicks into the half cock or full cock notch such that the point of the sear cannot clear the half cock or full cock notch unless the trigger is pulled.
