Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0262959A2] An air lock (10) operated by a pneumatic retraction system includes a manual override feature in the event that the pneumatic system fails. The manual override is accessed through a key-operated cylinder lock (36) that rotates a pinion (40). The pinion (40) mates with rack teeth (42) journalled in a lock bolt (16) which mates with a bolt receiver (18) to close the lock. When the pinion (40) is rotated the bolt (16) is urged against a biasing spring (26) lifting it out of the bolt receiver (18) thus opening the lock.
