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.

In a gun having a frame, a hammer, a trigger, and firing means operable by movement of the hammer for firing the gun, a shaft mounted on the frame, the trigger being pivotally mounted on the shaft for pivoting movement between rest and fired positions, the hammer being pivotally mounted on the frame for movement between cocked and fired positions, the gun including a hammer spring for biasing the hammer toward its fired position and sear means for releasing the hammer from its cocked position when the trigger moves to its fired position, an improved safety link assembly for preventing firing of the gun unless the trigger is pulled comprising a link mounting member pivotally mounted on the shaft independently of the trigger and having a trigger-engaging portion engageable with the trigger as the trigger pivots from its rest position to its fired position for pivoting the link mounting member on the shaft, and a hammer link mounted on the link mounting member, the hammer and the firing means being spaced apart when the hammer is in its fired position, the hammer link being pivotable with the link mounting member into the space between the hammer and the firing means as the trigger moves to its fired position and being engageable by the hammer as the hammer moves from its cocked position to its fired position whereby the link is forced against the firing means to fire the gun.
