  • Patent number: 11971233
    Abstract: A trigger unit for a firearm, including a trigger bar that lies below the trigger axis. A trigger lever has a rear which accommodates at least one disconnector. A sear, rotatable about a sear axis can be biased by means of a sear spring. The hammer axis, the trigger axis and the sear axis are arranged parallel to one another and parallel to a transverse direction. The trigger lever has a recess and the sear is at least partially arranged within. The sear axis and the trigger axis coincide. The sear limits rotation of a disconnector joint formed on the underside of the disconnector; the bearing encloses the disconnector joint at least partially.

  • Patent number: 11859930
    Abstract: A trigger unit for a firearm, including a hammer rotatable about a hammer axis and prestressable by a hammer spring, a trigger lever rotatable about a trigger axis, the trigger lever has a trigger and a trigger rear, which receives at least one interrupter. A sear is rotatably mounted about a sear axis and prestressable by a sear spring. The sear axis and the trigger axis coincide, and the sear has a bearing recess for receiving and limited rotation about a disconnector axis of a disconnector pivot formed on the underside of the disconnector, the bearing recess being formed surrounding the disconnector pivot at least partially in the direction of rotation about the disconnector axis.

  • Publication number: 20230013610
    Abstract: A trigger unit for a firearm, including a rotatable trigger lever in which the trigger lever has a trigger bar which lies below the trigger axis and is moved when the trigger bar is actuated against a barrel direction, and a fire-control/safety selector for selecting at least one “safe” and one “fire” position, where a locking lever rotatably mounted about a locking lever axis is arranged in the trigger unit and is biased in a circumferential direction by a locking lever spring, and that the locking lever axis, when viewed in the barrel direction, is arranged behind the trigger axis, and the locking lever is designed to releasable fix the fire-control/ safety selector in a selectable position.
