Self-cleaning trigger connector system

Abstract

A self-cleaning trigger connector system resulting in increased reliability comprising a self-cleaning trigger connector and a trigger mechanism housing. The self-cleaning trigger connector is designed with specific contact points to prevent over-travel of the trigger bar when operating in cooperation with the trigger of the firearm. The self-cleaning trigger connector has a first at least one elongated through hole of a predetermined length that allows for a lighter trigger pull and defines a lubrication reservoir. The trigger mechanism housing comprises a second at least one elongated through hole. Debris that accumulates from the interaction between the trigger bar and the self-cleaning trigger connector passes through the first and second at least one elongated through holes. After passing through the first and second at least one elongated through holes, the debris then falls downwardly through a cavity adjacent to the firearm magazine well.

1 . A self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly, comprising: 
 A) an elongated member having first and second ends, said elongated member having a first bent lip extending perpendicularly from said first end, said elongated member having a first leg perpendicularly extending a first predetermined distance from said second end, said elongated member also having a second leg extending therefrom, whereas said second leg has a second bent lip extending perpendicularly from said second leg, said elongated member further having a first at least one elongated through hole at a second predetermined distance from said first end without reaching said second end;    B) a trigger mechanism housing having a second at least one elongated through hole; and    C) self-cleaning means for removal of debris when a trigger bar mechanism slidably travels in a generally rearward and downward direction across said first at least one elongated through hole to remove said debris from said trigger bar mechanism through said second at least one elongated through hole and downwardly through a cavity adjacent to a magazine well of a firearm, as said trigger bar mechanism is temporarily not biased against said elongated member.    
   
   
       2 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising firing speed means for increasing firing speed of said firearm by restricting excessive movement of said trigger bar mechanism, said trigger bar mechanism having a trigger member, wherein said firing speed means includes minimizing travel of said trigger member by guiding said trigger bar mechanism upon said first and second bent lips and said first and second legs of said elongated member.  
   
   
       3 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising lubrication means for lubrication of said trigger bar mechanism when said trigger bar mechanism said slidably travels in said generally rearward and downward direction across said first at least one elongated through hole, whereby said first at least one elongated through hole defines a lubrication reservoir.  
   
   
       4 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 3 , further comprising prevention means to prevent over manipulation of said trigger member thereby increasing the accuracy and precision of said firearm while repetitive firing when a user continues to pull said trigger member after said firearm has discharged, wherein said prevention means includes restricting movement of said trigger bar mechanism with said first and second bent lips of said elongated member and said first and second legs.  
   
   
       5 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 4 , further characterized in that said second leg has a third leg perpendicularly extending a third predetermined distance.  
   
   
       6 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 5 , further characterized in that said firing speed means further includes minimizing said travel of said trigger member by guiding said trigger bar mechanism upon said first and second bent lips and said first, second, and third legs of said elongated member.  
   
   
       7 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 6 , further characterized in that said prevention means further includes restricting movement of said trigger bar mechanism with said first and second bent lips and said first, second, and third legs of said elongated member.  
   
   
       8 . The self-cleaning trigger connector system for firearms having an enclosed striker assembly according to  claim 7 , further characterized in that said first and second at least one elongated through holes are aligned.
