WITH THE CYLINDER OPEN, THE TRIGGER/HAMMER DON'T OPERATE.
CLOSE THE CYLINDER AND EVERYTHING WORKS
WHAT LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE APPARATUS?
Thanks;

The button that you slide forward to release the cylinder also has a rear tail. When the cylinder is open, the tail slides under the hammer and locks the action. You can manually hold the button to the rear and the hammer will cock.

This a safety measure so that the revolver does not fire when the cylinder is not locked as Ric states. In the photo below, you can see the bolt (which is moved back and forth by the thumb piece) just below the hammer on the far left. As Ric says it will block the hammer pushed forward. The bolt pushes the cylinder center pin in when pushing on the thumbpiece to open the cylinder. On the right side of the hammer you can see the other end of the bolt with the small protrusion which pushes the center rod through the recoil plate.
Disregard the double-action only action, it is the same as the traditional double action for this purpose.

Revolvers really are a thing of mechanical beauty.
