DOOR MECHANISM

摘要

A door mechanism including self-acting latching means operatively holding the door closed and including a latch release member selectively moveable from a neutral position to a release position freeing the door for opening. Locking means act to secure the latched door by preventing release actuation of the latching means and including a lock drive member selectively moveable between locked and unlocked positions. The latch release member has a path of travel extending between said release position and a door secure position, said neutral position being in an intermediate part of said path. The release member and the lock drive member are coupled by motion transmitting means including a first formation on one of said members co-acting via a connecting means with a second formation on the other of said members to shift the lock drive member to the locked position on movement of the release member from its neutral position to its door secure position.
