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.Field of SearchSafety devices | |
