20100313459 | Firing pin safety device for auto-loading firearms - The invention relates to a firing pin safety catch mechanism for a firearm, especially an auto-loading firearm which operates with a closed action such as found on the United States Military's M16 and its various derivatives. The safety catch mechanism consists of a firing pin which is housed within the bolt carrier assembly of the host firearm. Further, the firing pin is capable of being moved from a rest position at which its end is positioned in the travel path of a hammer, to a firing position; a firing pin spring is used to move the firing pin into its rest position; a catch, located on the carrier, which is operated by a spring capable of engaging and holding the firing pin in its rest position; and a cam surface about the exterior of the catch cooperating with the hammer and releasing the catch from engagement with the firing pin when the hammer has substantially completed its patch of travel. The purpose is to prevent the unintentional movement of the firing pin and thereby prevent the unintentional discharge of the host firearm. | 12-16-2010 |
20110067283 | SINGLE ACTION FIREARM ACTION - A new firearm action is described. The action may be adapted to single-shot handguns and rifles, lever-action firearms, single-action revolvers or to other types of firearms. The new firearm action provides a safety device in a firearm that does not affect the trigger pull when firing the firearm and maintains a durable and reliable action. The trigger cannot be pulled when it is in the safe position, and when the action is in the safe position, the hammer cannot contact the firing pin. The action does not allow the barrel of the firearm to be opened when the hammer is in the cocked position. It also keeps the barrel from being closed if the hammer is cocked when the barrel is in the open position. The hammer cannot contact the firing pin if the top slide is in the retracted position. | 03-24-2011 |
