  • Patent number: 8833699
    Abstract: A vehicle has a passenger section, a control section and a door positioned between the passenger section and the control section. The door has an indented region on a side of the door facing the control section when the door is in a closed position, where the indented region has a surface. The vehicle also includes a second surface. A locking mechanism has a first locking portion, a second locking portion and a connecting portion connecting the first locking portion and the second locking portion. The locking mechanism locks the door in the closed position when the first locking portion engages the surface of the indented region and the second locking portion engages the second surface.
