ABSTRACT:
A safety link assembly prevents discharge or firing of a gun unless the trigger is pulled. The assembly includes a hammer link pivotally connected to a link mounting member. The link mounting member is pivotally mounted on the same pivoting axis as the trigger, and a trigger-engaging portion on the link mounting member engages the trigger so that movement of the trigger pivots the link mounting member. The hammer of the gun is pivotally mounted on the gun for movement between cocked and fired positions. When the hammer is in its fired position, it is spaced from the firing mechanism of the gun. When the trigger is pulled, the link mounting member pivots with the trigger to move the safety link into position between the firing mechanism and the hammer so that when the trigger releases the hammer from its cocked position, the hammer will strike the safety link and force it against the firing mechanism to discharge the gun. Unless the trigger is pulled, the safety link will not be in position to be engaged by the hammer, and the hammer cannot fire the gun. When the trigger is released and the link mounting member returns toward its original position, the pivotable hammer link pivots on the mounting member out of engagement with the hammer.
