Firearm Slide Stop Lock Competitive Interrupt

Abstract

A slide lock stop interrupt mechanism operable upon the insertion of an interchangeable ammunition magazine into the magazine well of a semi-automatic firearm whereby contact between the magazine and a connection lever is made which automatically manipulates and interrupts the slide lock stop and releases the slide from the open and locked position to advance in a forward direction to chamber the first round contained in the inserted magazine returning the firearm to battery position ready for firing.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A mechanism forming the slide lock stop of a semi-automatic or automatic firearm with horizontal displacement functionality to hold open a slide assembly laterally along the frame of a firearm;
 with a connected rigid vertical descending lever form extending into the magazine well, used to manipulate the slide lock stop in a downward releasing angular motion around a pivot point connecting the slide stop lock to the firearm frame;   through lateral displacement force acting upon the descending lever generated upon contact between the descending lever and a deflection tab or detent contained within the ammunition magazine as the ammunition magazine is inserted into the magazine well;   when contact is made and lateral displacement achieved, interrupts the slide stop lock from its engaged position with the slide allowing the slide assembly to close.   
     
     
         2 . The deflection tab or detent in  claim 1 , wherein the deflection tab or detent is horizontally and vertically positioned within the magazine assembly,
 to contact with and apply sufficient lateral breaking point pressure to displace the descending lever;   to interrupt the slide stop lock and release the slide assembly in a forward direction;   while maintaining minimal clearance of the ammunition round to freely eject from the magazine and lift into the chamber of the firearm;   allowing the slide assembly to release and close as the magazine is inserted into the magazine well.   
     
     
         3 . The descending lever form in  claim 1 , wherein the descending lever form is shaped to provide rigid positioning;
 and to transfer downward angular deflection of the slide stop lock with minimal deflection of the descending lever;   so as not to prematurely interrupt the slide stop lock.   
     
     
         4 . The descending lever form in  claim 1  above, wherein the downward extension lever extends vertically within the magazine well and upon lateral deflection resulting from making contact with the deflection tab or detent is displaced laterally to generate downward motion to disengage the slide stop lock with competitive interrupt from engaged contact with the slide. 
     
     
         5 . The descending lever form in  claim 1  above, wherein the downward extension lever extends vertically within the magazine well, is formed with a lower segment which angles upward within the magazine well, and upon deflection resulting from making contact with the deflection tab or detents displaced laterally rotating on a pin mounted to the sidewall of the frame and grip system to generate downward motion to disengage the slide stop lock with competitive interrupt from engaged contact with the slide. 
     
     
         6 . The descending lever form in  claim 1  above, wherein the downward extension lever extends vertically within the void of the magazine well and the upper section of the corresponding magazine, and upon deflection resulting from making contact with the deflection tab or detent is displaced vertically rotating on a pin mounted to the sidewall of the frame and grip system to generate downward motion to disengage the slide stop lock with competitive interrupt from engaged contact with the slide. 
     
     
         7 . The descending lever form in  claim 1  which is positioned in alignment with the deflection tab or detent when subjected to pressure applied from the physical presence of a round of ammunition contained within the magazine. 
     
     
         8 . The descending lever form in  claim 1  which will disengage with the deflection tab or detent in the absence of pressure applied from the physical presence of a round of ammunition contained within the magazine.
