  • Method and device for closing a door of an aircraft
    Patent number: 6457674
    Abstract: A door, especially an aircraft door, is first closed, for example manually. Then the door is first latched by a latching mechanism and locked by a locking mechanism. The latching mechanism and the locking mechanism are operatively connected through respective force transmitting couplings to a common drive in such a way that the latching mechanism is first moved to establish a latching position. Then, with a delay, the locking mechanism is moved into a locking position by the same drive to establish a latched and locked position.
