Trigger assist mechanism

Abstract

A trigger assist mechanism operable to be mounted adjacent and in operating relationship to an existing trigger member on a firearm or weapon apparatus in order to reduce trigger pressure operable to contact and move the existing trigger member in a conventional firing operation. The trigger assist mechanism includes 1) a main connector anchor block assembly which is releasably connected to an oval guard member on the existing conventional trigger assembly; and 2) a trigger assist assembly pivotally connected to the main anchor block assembly. The main connector anchor block assembly includes a U-shaped anchor block member which can be releasably and adjustably connected to an existing oval guard member on the conventional trigger assembly. The trigger assist assembly includes a main trigger lever member which is pivotally connected to the main connector anchor block assembly and can be adjusted so as to place and actuate a roller member in contact with a portion of the existing trigger member. The main trigger lever member includes a curved trigger member operable at one end to be pivotally connected to the main connector anchor block assembly and the upper curved trigger member has an actuator section to receive a person's trigger finger, normally the forefinger, thereagainst to achieve a squeezing action which then contacts the existing trigger member and requires less trigger pressure to move the existing trigger member into an actuated or fired condition which then operates through a firing mechanism in a conventional manner.
