  • Trigger assembly and system including a blocking mechanism
    Patent number: 9557129
    Abstract: A trigger assembly includes a trigger shoe configured to disengage a sear to release a firing mechanism in response to force applied by a user. The trigger assembly further includes a blocking mechanism configured to selectively prevent the release of the firing mechanism in response to a control signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Assignee: TrackingPoint, Inc.

  • Trigger Assembly and Method of Optical Detection of a Trigger Assembly State
    Publication number: 20160054082
    Abstract: A trigger assembly includes a plurality of components including a trigger shoe configured to disengage a firing mechanism in response to a force applied by a user. The trigger assembly further includes a first PCB having at least one optical sensor to receive light and a controller configured to determine a positional state of at least one of the trigger shoe and a selected one of the plurality of components in response to the light received by the at least one optical sensor.
