Patent attributes
A two-position firearm safety assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a lever detent spring and a first lever, both of which are pivotally coupled to a firearm frame. The assembly can also include a second lever and a link connecting the two levers. The detent spring is in contact with the link and/or the first lever at an assembly pivot point, putting the detent spring in compression. The compression force on the detent spring provides two distinct safety assembly positions (e.g., fire and safe positions), and prevents the safety assembly from perching between the two-positions. The properties of the detent spring (e.g., the material, shape, hardness, spring constant, pre-compression in the safety assembly, etc.) can be customized as desired to adjust the properties of the safety assembly, such as the forces needed to toggle the assembly.
