Patent ID: 8186087

Claim:
A trigger safety block movable from a first axial position in which rearward movement of a trigger within a trigger guard of a firearm to fire the firearm is prevented, to a second axial position in which movement of a trigger of a firearm to fire the firearm is enabled, comprising: a three sided frame removably affixed around the trigger guard, the frame comprising a first frame side, an opposed second frame side and a rear frame side, wherein the three sided frame has an opening opposite the rear frame side so that the trigger safety block fits around an exterior back and side surfaces of a distal end of the trigger guard; a blocking pin movable axially from a first position to a second position and extending across the frame between the trigger guard and the trigger; a trigger channel in the blocking pin; wherein the trigger channel is not aligned with the trigger when the blocking pin is in the first position so that the blocking pin prevents rearward movement of the trigger to prevent the firearm from firing; and wherein the trigger channel is aligned with the trigger when the blocking pin is in the second position so that the trigger moves rearward to enable firing of the firearm; the first frame side and the opposed second frame side further comprising a blocking pin bore hole, the blocking pin extending across the frame and into the blocking pin bore holes in the first frame side and the opposed second frame side; and a retaining pin, wherein the first frame side and the opposed second frame side further include a plurality of retaining pin bore holes located adjacent the blocking in bore holes and between the blocking pin bore holes and the rear frame side, the retaining pin bore holes accepting the retaining pin extending across the frame and into the retaining pin bore holes in the first frame side and the opposed second frame side, the retaining pins and retaining pin bore holes enabling the trigger safety block assembly to be adjusted with respect to the distal end of the trigger guard and the trigger.
