Abstract

A firearm enhancing trigger connector having a torso with first and second edges. The torso has a guide lip mount extending from the torso beyond the first edge at a first predetermined angle. The guide lip mount has a guide lip positioned at a second predetermined angle approximately 65-80 degrees with respect to the second edge. The guide lip mount further has a control tab extending therefrom at a third predetermined angle from the first edge. The torso further has a first connector leg. The first connector leg has a reset tab. The torso also has a second connector leg and an elongated debris slot.

Claims (18)

1. A firearm enhancing trigger connector, comprising a torso having first and second edges, said torso comprising a guide lip mount extending from said torso beyond said first edge at a first predetermined angle, said guide lip mount comprises a guide lip positioned at a second predetermined angle approximately 65-80 degrees with respect to said second edge, said guide lip containing a trigger bar of a firearm, said guide lip mount further comprises a control tab extending therefrom at a third predetermined angle from said first edge, said torso further comprising a first connector leg extending from said torso towards said first edge at a fourth predetermined angle, said first connector leg having a reset tab at a fifth predetermined angle approximately 85-95 degrees with respect to said first connector leg, said torso further comprising a second connector leg that removably fits within a trigger housing of said firearm, said trigger bar nearly contacts or contacts said guide lip when said firearm is in a rest position, said guide lip mount extends from said torso beyond said first edge a first predetermined distance, and said first connector leg extends from said torso beyond said first edge a second predetermined distance, and said first predetermined distance is greater than said second predetermined distance.

2. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said torso further comprises an elongated debris slot designed to minimize debris accumulation.

3. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said first connector leg extends from said second edge.

4. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said reset tab is positioned over said guide lip.

5. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said guide lip is closer to said second connector leg than said reset tab.

6. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said first connector leg defines a sixth predetermined angle with respect to said guide lip, wherein said sixth predetermined angle is less than 90 degrees.

7. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said guide lip contains said trigger bar of said firearm when biased against said guide lip.

8. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said trigger bar is biased against said torso when said firearm is in said rest position.

9. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said nearly contacts is a distance up to approximately 3 mm.

10. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that as a trigger is pulled, said trigger bar slidably travels generally in a rearward and downward direction and said guide lip serves to guide an end of said trigger bar with no obstruction.

11. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 10 , further characterized in that said no obstruction is achieved with said second predetermined angle for said guide lip, saving a user from exerting a second force after exerting an initial force to pull said trigger.

12. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that after a point of firing, said trigger bar continues to travel generally in a rearward and downward direction until a cross edge contacts said control tab.

13. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that a lobe cams said reset tab while cycling until completing an operating cycle with minimal obstruction.

14. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 13 , further characterized in that said minimal obstruction is achieved with said fifth predetermined angle of said reset tab, minimizing torsion forces while said cycling occurs.

15. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said second connector leg is approximately opposite in direction from said guide lip.

16. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said second connector leg is approximately opposite in direction from said reset tab.

17. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said first predetermined angle is approximately 130-140 degrees.

18. The firearm enhancing trigger connector set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said third predetermined angle is approximately 40-50 degrees.
