Abstract
Trigger safety device for trigger-actuated devices is provided having a pivotally mounted magnetically responsive bar positioned on the inside of the handle or on the rear of the trigger. When the bar is oriented centrally, sufficient movement of the trigger is inhibited to prevent actuation. The bar may be mounted in a non-magnetizable casing. The user of the device, by wearing a magnetic ring, displaces the bar from its central orientation and allows for sufficient movement of the trigger for actuation.
