Electromechanical trigger

Abstract

An electromechanical trigger assembly can be used for engaging a firing pin assembly of a firearm and discharging a cartridge placed within the barrel of the firearm. The electromechanical trigger assembly can have a trigger shoe that has minimal travel for releasing a sear to discharge a cartridge and increase precision and accuracy of the firearm. The electromechanical trigger can also mechanically decouple the trigger pull from the releasing of the sear to discharge the cartridge and increase precision and accuracy of the firearm.

1 . Electromechanical trigger assembly for engaging a firing pin assembly of a firearm, the electromechanical trigger comprising:
 a sear pivotally operable to engage and disengage the firing pin assembly;   a sear linkage for pivotally engaging and disengaging the sear;   a trigger shoe; and   electronic components for physically decoupling actuation of the trigger shoe from a releasing of the sear,   wherein the trigger shoe engages the electronic components to cause a release the sear for discharging the firearm.   
     
     
         2 . The electromechanical trigger of  claim 1 , wherein when the trigger shoe engages the electronic components, the trigger shoe travels a minimal distance. 
     
     
         3 . The electromechanical trigger of  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the electronic components further comprises a solenoid having an armature for actuating the sear linkage. 
     
     
         4 . The electromechanical trigger of  claim 3 , wherein the sear linkage and the armature have a rotational interface therebetween. 
     
     
         5 . The electromechanical trigger of any one of  claims 1  to  4 , wherein the sear linkage further comprises a distal end for engaging the sear. 
     
     
         6 . The electromechanical trigger of any one of  claims 1  to  5 , wherein the electronic components further comprises a sensor and the trigger shoe engages the sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The electromechanical trigger of  claim 6 , wherein the sensor creates an electrical signal for actuation of the solenoid when a pressure exerted by the trigger shoe on the sensor is greater than a threshold pressure. 
     
     
         8 . The electromechanical trigger of any one of  claims 1  to  7 , wherein the trigger shoe further comprises a pad. 
     
     
         9 . The electromechanical trigger of any one of  claims 1  to  8  further comprising a safety interlock. 
     
     
         10 . The electromechanical trigger of any one of  claims 1  to  9  further comprising biasing means for biasing the sear to engage the firing pin assembly.
