    • OPERATION OF MECHANISM
  • By door being rotated, the cam movement (15) is being followed by front bearing (10), while threaded return spring (7) is being compressed by means of piston (2), until the 90° door rotation is reached and cam station A is found, corresponding to open door position. During this process the oil being in first oil compartment (29) passes through to second oil compartment (30), by means of non-return valve (27).
  • By pushing, the door is being disengaged from cam station A and piston (2) is being pushed, by means of threaded return spring (7), while, at the same time the bearing (10) is being driven away, thus resulting to mechanism being rotated from 90° to 0° position -closed door position-.
  • During this phase, the oil being in second oil compartment (30) that is not allowed to escape towards the first oil compartment (29) through the non-return valve (27), for its passage is being blocked by the safety oil ball (41), escapes into the oil gate (49) and thereof into the oil circulation pipe (50), where its flow rate is being regulated by means of door speed rotation regulation valve (22) for achievement of smooth closing and following this, returns to the first oil compartment (29) via the oil gate (51).
  • Said system is also capable of relieving any excess pressure, in case of a force being exercised, greater than that tolerable secure by the mechanism, during door rotation from 90° to 0° and more specifically, the safety valve spring (42) is being compressed, by means of said force being exercised on oil safety ball (41) by the pressure relief axis (40), thus any excess pressure having been created within the second oil compartment (30) is being released, eliminating any mechanism damage risk and securing smooth and safe operation.
    • LATCHING PROCESS ACTIVATION CONTROL
  • By door reaching the appropriate latching activation degree, the oil safety ball (41) is being pushed by means of pressure relief shaft (40) and the safety valve spring (42) is being compressed, thus, oil passage way is being opened through second oil compartment (30), towards first oil compartment (29), whereby the mechanism rotational movement is being accelerated with direction towards the 0° position -closed door-, resulting to neutralization of lock tongue obstacle and achievement of smooth door closing.
  • Said door closing mechanism is capable of being constructed in various dimensions so that, different uses and needs to be covered, as well as, may be manufactured by any metal material considered suitable for the this purpose.
