Definitions
- the present invention relates to autoclaves.
- an autoclave comprising a vessel portion, a closure member hingedly connected to the vessel portion, sealing means adapted to form a seal between the vessel portion and the closure member when the autoclave is in a closed condition, and locking means for locking the vessel portion and the closure member together when the autoclave is in said closed condition, said lock means incorporating a catch member biassed towards a locking position and said closure member having catch means for cooperating with said catch member to constitute the locking action, and said catch member being movable against said biasing out of said locking position.
- an intermediate condition between the closed position and an open condition Preferably there is an intermediate condition between the closed position and an open condition, said intermediate condition being constituted by partial opening of the closure member.
- the full opening of the autoclave is prevented by a projection on the closure member engaging a lug on the catch member when the catch member is moved out of its locking position.
- a solenoid is activated to move the catch member out of the locking position, past an open position and into said intermediate position where the lug engages the projection.
- Figure 5 is a front view of a closure member of the autoclave
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a lever member of the autoclave
- Figure 7 is a partial cross-section on line 8-8 of figure 2
- Figure 8 is a partial cross-section similar to figure 7 with the autoclave in a fully open condition
- Figure 9 is a partial cross-section similar to figure 7 with the autoclave in a frozen position during opening
