Patent ID: 7690144

Claim:
Safety device for shooting mechanism of semi-automatic striker fired pistols, comprising: a trigger assembly comprising a trigger support ( 11 ) and a trigger body ( 1 ) hinged to the trigger support around a common axle ( 5 ) allowing relative angular displacement of the trigger body relative to the trigger support, and a trigger spring ( 10 ) located between the trigger body and the trigger support, wherein the trigger assembly is pivotable about a main axle ( 20 ); a lock ( 6 ) joined to the trigger body ( 1 ) so that in a rest position of the trigger body relative to the trigger support, the lock ( 6 ) immobilizes the shooting mechanism, the trigger assembly being biased forwards around the main axle ( 20 ) by a trigger return spring ( 25 ), whereby application of a turning force to the trigger body toward a shooting position first causes pivot around the common axle, which releases the lock and the shooting mechanism, and then fires the shooting mechanism.
