Trigger assembly for a fire arm

1. A trigger assembly for a firearm, the trigger assembly comprising:

a breechblock which is configured to be moved between a base position and a charging position:

a catch lever which is configured to be moved between a resting position for releasing the breechblock and a catch position for catching the breechblock;

a trigger element that is configured to be moved between a non-actuation position and an actuation position, in order to transfer the catch lever from the catch position into the resting position;

a release element that is configured to be moved relative to the trigger element, the release element being configured to be moved between a hold position for holding the catch lever in the resting position and a release position for releasing the catch lever in the catch position, wherein the release element is transferred from the hold position into the release position by contact of the breechblock with the release element, the breechblock contacts the release element while moving in the direction of the charging position;

wherein the release element is configured to be pivoted about a release-element pivoting axis, which is movable relative to the trigger element so that, even when the trigger is secured, the release element in the non-actuation position of the trigger element is configured to be moved out of a movement space of the breechblock is secured via the breechblock which moves in the direction of the base position; and

wherein the release-element pivoting axis is disposed on an additional element which is separate from the release element and the trigger element, and wherein the additional element is mounted so as to be movable relative to the trigger element.

2. The trigger assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the additional element is mounted in the trigger element so as to be pivotable about an additional-element pivoting axis.

3. The trigger assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the release-element pivoting axis and the additional-element pivoting axis are parallel to one another.

4. The trigger assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a safety, which in a secured state secures the catch lever in the catch position thereof and the trigger element in the non-actuation position thereof, and in an unsecured state permits transfer of the catch lever into the resting position thereof and transfer of the trigger element into the actuation position thereof.

5. The trigger assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the safety has a safety element which is coupled in terms of movement with the release element such that transfer of the safety out of the unsecured state into the secured state is accompanied by transfer of the release element out of the hold position thereof into the release position.

6. The trigger assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the safety element is configured to be pivoted about a safety-element pivoting axis.

7. The trigger assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the safety-element pivoting axis is parallel to a bearing axis of a trigger spring which is configured to subject the catch lever to a spring force.

8. The trigger assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the safety comprises an operating element, which is configured to be pivoted about an operating axis, so as to transfer the safety element into at least one of the secured or non-secured state thereof, and wherein the operating element and the safety element are coupled together in terms of movement via a turning and sliding joint.

9. A firearm, comprising:

a trigger assembly including:

a breechblock which is configured to be moved between a base position and a charging position;

a catch lever which is configured to be moved between a resting position for releasing the breechblock and a catch position for catching the breechblock;

a trigger element that is configured to be moved between a non-actuation position and an actuation position, in order to transfer the catch lever from the catch position into the resting position;

a release element that is configured to be moved relative to the trigger element, the release element being configured to be moved between a hold position for holding the catch lever in the resting position and a release position for releasing the catch lever in the catch position, wherein the release element is transferred from the hold position into the release position by contact of the breechblock with the release element, the breechblock contacts the release element while moving in the direction of the charging position;

wherein the release element is configured to be pivoted about a release-element pivoting axis, which is movable relative to the trigger element so that, even when the trigger is secured, the release element in the non-actuation position of the trigger element is configured to be moved out of a movement space of the breechblock is secured via the breechblock which moves in the direction of the base position; and

wherein the release-element pivoting axis is disposed on an additional element which is separate from the release element and the trigger element, and wherein the additional element is mounted so as to be movable relative to the trigger element.

10. The trigger assembly according to claim 2 , wherein a trigger-element pivoting axis and the additional-element pivoting axis are collinear with one another.

11. The trigger assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the safety-element pivoting axis is colinear to a bearing axis of a trigger spring which is configured to subject the catch lever to a spring force.

12. The fire arm of claim 9 , wherein the fire arm is a handgun.
