Abstract

A trigger grip ( 100 ) includes a body ( 10 ) including an upper jaw ( 11 ) extending laterally, a pivot section ( 12 ) depending from one end of the upper jaw, and a sleeve section ( 13 ) depending from the other end of the upper jaw, the sleeve section including a slot ( 131 ) and an extension ( 132 ) depending from the slot; a pivotal link ( 20 ) pivotably secured to the pivot section ( 12 ) and including a jaw member disposed below the upper jaw ( 11 ) in an inoperative position; and a lever ( 30 ) including a first hole ( 31 ) at one end, a second hole ( 32 ) at the other end, and a protuberance ( 33 ) depending from the other end, the lever ( 30 ) being inserted through the slot ( 131 ) with its first hole ( 31 ) pivotably secured to the pivotal link ( 20 ).

Claims (23)

1. A trigger grip comprising:

a body ( 10 ) comprising an upper jaw ( 11 ) extending laterally, a pivot section ( 12 ) depending from one end of the upper jaw ( 11 ), and a sleeve section ( 13 ) depending from an other end of the upper jaw ( 11 ), the sleeve section ( 13 ) including a slot ( 131 ) and an extension ( 132 ) depending from the slot ( 131 );

a pivotal link ( 20 ) pivotably secured to the pivot section ( 12 ) and comprising a jaw member ( 23 ) disposed below the upper jaw ( 11 ) in an inoperative position; and

a lever ( 30 ) comprising a first hole ( 31 ) at one end, a second hole ( 32 ) at an other end, and a protuberance ( 33 ) depending from the other end, the lever ( 30 ) being inserted through the slot ( 131 ) with its first hole ( 31 ) pivotably secured to the pivotal link ( 20 ),

wherein the pivot section ( 12 ) comprises a stepped-diameter, cylindrical projection ( 121 ) extending laterally, the projection ( 121 ) including a base ( 1212 ) with the pivotal link ( 20 ) engaged therewith, an externally threaded member ( 1211 ) having a diameter smaller than that of the base ( 1212 ), and a shoulder ( 123 ) at a joining portion of the externally threaded member ( 1211 ) and the base ( 1212 ), and

wherein the body ( 10 ) further comprises a positioning hole ( 122 ) proximate the base ( 1212 ) of the pivot section ( 12 ), wherein the pivotal link ( 20 ) further comprises a first hole ( 21 ) at one side of one end, and a cylindrical recess ( 24 ) at the other side of one end spaced from and aligned with the first hole ( 31 ), the recess ( 24 ) having an elongated groove ( 241 ), the trigger grip further comprising a torsion spring ( 60 ) put on the projection ( 121 ) with one end inserted into the positioning hole ( 122 ) for positioning, the torsion spring ( 60 ) being further received in the recess ( 24 ) with the other end thereof rested on the groove ( 241 ).

2. The trigger grip of claim 1 , wherein the jaw member ( 23 ) is curve and knurled.

3. The trigger grip of claim 1 , wherein the lever ( 30 ) further comprises a stop member ( 34 ) projecting from one side proximate the second hole ( 32 ) for preventing the lever ( 30 ) from disengaging from the slot ( 131 ).

4. The trigger grip of claim 1 , wherein the extension ( 132 ) is served as a trigger, and the protuberance ( 33 ) is served as a trigger grip, the trigger and the trigger grip being in cooperation each other.

5. The trigger grip of claim 1 , wherein the extension ( 132 ) is served as a trigger, and the protuberance ( 33 ) is shaped as a ring to serve as a trigger grip, the trigger and the trigger grip being in cooperation each other.

6. The trigger grip of claim 1 , further comprising a pivotal plate ( 40 ) pivotably secured to one side of the body ( 10 ), the pivotal plate ( 40 ) being capable of pivoting to partially cover both the upper jaw ( 11 ) and the jaw member ( 23 ).

7. A trigger grip comprising:

a body ( 10 ) comprising an upper jaw ( 11 ) extending laterally, a pivot section ( 12 ) depending from one end of the upper jaw ( 11 ), the pivot section ( 12 ) including a stepped-diameter, cylindrical projection ( 121 ) extending laterally, and a sleeve section ( 13 ) depending from an other end of the upper jaw ( 11 ), the sleeve section ( 13 ) including a slot ( 131 );

a pivotal link ( 20 ) pivotably secured to the projection ( 121 ) and comprising a jaw member ( 23 ) disposed below the upper jaw ( 11 ) in an inoperative position; and

a lever ( 30 ) comprising a first hole ( 31 ) at one end and a second hole ( 32 ) at an other end, the lever ( 30 ) being inserted through the slot ( 131 ) with its first hole ( 31 ) pivotably secured to the pivotal link ( 20 ),

wherein the projection ( 121 ) comprises a base ( 1212 ) with the pivotal link ( 20 ) engaged therewith, an externally threaded member ( 1211 ) having a diameter smaller than that of the base ( 1212 ), and a shoulder ( 123 ) at a joining portion of the externally threaded member ( 1211 ) and the base ( 1212 ); and

wherein the body ( 10 ) further comprises a positioning hole ( 122 ) proximate the base ( 1212 ) of the pivot section ( 12 ), wherein the pivotal link ( 20 ) further comprises a first hole ( 21 ) at one side of one end, and a cylindrical recess ( 24 ) at the other side of one end spaced from and aligned with the first hole ( 31 ), the recess ( 24 ) having an elongated groove ( 241 ), the trigger grip further comprising a torsion spring ( 60 ) put on the projection ( 121 ) with one end inserted into the positioning hole ( 122 ) for positioning, the torsion spring ( 60 ) being further received in the recess ( 24 ) with the other end thereof rested on the groove ( 241 ).

8. The trigger grip of claim 7 , wherein the jaw member ( 23 ) is curve and knurled.

9. The trigger grip of claim 7 , wherein the lever ( 30 ) further comprises a stop member ( 34 ) projecting from one side proximate the second hole ( 32 ) for preventing the lever ( 30 ) from disengaging from the slot ( 131 ).

10. The trigger grip of claim 7 , wherein the sleeve section ( 13 ) further comprises an extension ( 132 ) depending from the slot ( 131 ), and wherein the lever ( 30 ) further comprises a protuberance ( 33 ) depending from the other end.

11. The trigger grip of claim 10 , wherein the extension ( 132 ) is served as a trigger, and the protuberance ( 33 ) is served as a trigger grip, the trigger and the trigger grip being in cooperation each other.

12. The trigger grip of claim 10 , wherein the extension ( 132 ) is served as a trigger, and the protuberance ( 33 ) is shaped as a ring to serve as a trigger grip, the trigger and the trigger grip being in cooperation each other.

13. The trigger grip of claim 7 , further comprising a pivotal plate ( 40 ) pivotably secured to one side of the body ( 10 ), the pivotal plate ( 40 ) being capable of pivoting to partially cover both the upper jaw ( 11 ) and the jaw member ( 23 ).
