WASHER EXTRACTOR DOOR LOCK

摘要

A latching and locking mecha-nism (200) for a door (108) includes a locating pin (328) passing through a portion of a door frame (112) and a handle (120). A tapered por-tion (334) formed at an end of the locating pin (328) mates with a tapered opening (336) formed in a casing (106) of the machine (100) to position the door frame (112) relative to the casing (106). A cam surface (318) defined on the casing (106) engages a latching pin (322) connected to the locating pin (328) and extend-ing radially therefrom adjacent to the tapered portion (334) such that the latching pin (322) pulls the door frame (112) toward the closed position when the handle (120) is rotated.
