  • Patent number: 4058924
    Abstract: A rifle trigger mechanism comprises a sear spring-urged into an intercepting position and pivotal into a non-intercepting position. An intermediate lever is pivotal into a locking position in which it backs the sear in the intercepting position. A trigger is pivotal from an intermediate position forwardly to a preset position and rearwardly to a triggered position. The trigger has an extension for direct engagement with the lever in the locking position when in the intermediate position, to be clear thereof when in the preset position, and to cause the lever to move out of the locking position to release the sear for a movement out of the intercepting position in response to a movement of the trigger from the intermediate to the triggered position. A compression spring opposes a trigger movement to the preset position and is arranged to cause the trigger to move beyond the intermediate position to the triggered position when the trigger has been slightly moved from the preset toward the intermediate position.
