Patent ID: 8250799

Claim:
A trigger assembly for firearms comprising: a. a first trigger, which is pivotally mounted on a first pivot pin, wherein the first trigger has i. at least one vertically extending slot; and ii. a shoulder, which is adapted in size and shape for a sear, which is located outside the slot, to rest on the shoulder during a cocked position of a striker; b. a second trigger, which is pivotally mounted within the slot on a second pivot pin which is not coaxial with the first pivot pin, wherein the second trigger has a protrusion, which extends substantially vertically atop the second trigger; and c. the sear has a bore in the underside of the sear, wherein: i. the bore is adapted in size and shape to house the protrusion; and ii. the width of the bore is at least 50% larger than the width of the protrusion to allow for rotational movement of the protrusion within the bore, during a partial unintentional rotation of the second trigger within the slot, to keep the second trigger from pivoting out from under the sear and thereby prevent the firearm from firing.
