Firearm trigger spacing device and related systems and methods

Abstract

Disclosed herein are spacing devices and systems and methods of manufacturing and using the same. Hand and/or finger spacing devices for firearms, and more specifically, trigger finger spacing devices, and methods of manufacturing and using the same for aiming assistance and trigger control training, are disclosed. Firearm trigger spacing devices can include a ring portion having one or more lobes extending therefrom, which may assist the positioning of a shooters trigger finger while the shooter is pulling a trigger of the firearm.

1 . A firearm trigger spacing device, comprising:
 a band comprising an outer circumference, a through-cavity, a first lobe, and a ridge;
 wherein said through-cavity is substantially circular; 
 wherein said first lobe extends radially from the outer circumference; 
 wherein said ridge is disposed about a portion of the outer circumference, and the ridge having a width smaller than the width of the outer circumference. 
   
     
     
         2 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein the band is made from an injection-molded deformable elastomeric material. 
     
     
         3 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , further comprises a second lobe that extends radially from the outer circumference. 
     
     
         4 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 3 , wherein the second lobe extends substantially opposite the outer circumference from the first lobe. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein a material of the firearm trigger spacing device has a Shore A value of the material is 25-30. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein a material of the firearm trigger spacing device has a Shore A value of the material is 1-50. 
     
     
         7 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein a material of the firearm trigger spacing device has a Shore A value of the material is 50-100. 
     
     
         8 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first lobe extends 0.25-0.75 inches from the outer circumference. 
     
     
         9 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first lobe has a rounded exterior surface. 
     
     
         10 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first lobe has substantially squared edges. 
     
     
         11 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein a distal end of the first lobe tapers, narrowing the distal end of the first lobe 
     
     
         12 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 11 , wherein the distal end of the first lobe narrows by 21.5 degrees. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 , wherein a distal end's surface of the first lobe concavely curves towards the band. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 13 , wherein the curvature is approximately 12.2 degrees proximally towards the band. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 3 , wherein the second lobe has dimensions different from the first lobe. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 3 , wherein the first lobe and second lobe have a rounded exterior surface. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 3 , wherein the first lobe and second lobe have substantially squared edges. 
     
     
         18 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 3 , wherein a distal end of the second lobe tapers, narrowing the distal end of the first lobe. 
     
     
         19 . The firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 11 , wherein the distal end of the first lobe narrows by 25.4 degrees. 
     
     
         20 . A system, comprising:
 the firearm trigger spacing device of  claim 1 ; and   an firearm apparatus having a frame and a trigger.
