This is want Google AI says about Parker rebounding hammers: In a Parker rebounding lock, the motion is achieved through a specific interplay between the lock plate, mainspring, and sear spring: (Is this what you're calling a "Stokes" rebounding locks?)
Mainspring Arrest (The Step): The key component is a mechanical step or stop located on the bottom of the lock plate.
Inertial Strike: When the trigger is pulled, the mainspring drives the hammer forward. However, the mainspring is physically arrested by the lock plate's step just before the hammer actually reaches the firing pin. The hammer continues forward on its own inertia to strike the pin and fire the shell.
Spring-Assisted Return: Once the hammer’s forward momentum is spent, it is no longer under pressure from the mainspring. The sear spring then provides the necessary tension to push the tumbler and hammer back into a "neutral" or "rebound" position, often engaging a safety notch.
