In the first position, the locking member allows operation of the door.
  • the door when the locking member is arranged or positioned in the first position, the door can be brought from the opened-position to the closed-position, vice-versa and to positions therebetween.
  • the operation of the door is substantially prevented or restricted due to an engagement of the locking member with a door drive shaft.
  • the engagement can be provided directly or indirectly, e.g. by means of provision of intermediate elements.
  • at least the operation of the door in the closing direction, i.e. towards the closed-position of the door is prevented or restricted.
  • a motion or operation of the door towards the opened state thereof could be still allowed or permitted.

  • the locking member is brought in the second position (e.g. by its dead weight and/or by means of supplemental biasing means), in which the operation of the door is prevented by means of engagement with the door drive shaft.
  • the locking member comprises an aperture adapted to receive the door drive shaft extending therethrough.
  • the aperture can be provided in any suitable cross-sectional shape, in particular circular or polygonal.
  • the aperture has a circular cross-sectional shape, so as to correspond substantially to the door drive shaft extending therethrough.
  • the locking member comprises an aperture or throughhole or recess or opening or cavity, which is in particular oriented in parallel to the extension of the door drive shaft.
  • said locking member having at least one locking protrusion adapted to engage a preferably corresponding locking recess of said door drive shaft.
