ABSTRACT:
A pressure vessel such as a steam cooker is provided with a door closure comprising a horizontally disposed door mounting and actuating member pivotally mounted for swinging movement across an access opening of the vessel and supporting a warped door for movement into and out of the opening; a rotationally and axially movable shaft carried in the door mounting member has a cam and follower associated therewith for moving the shaft axially in response to rotation thereof; and mechanism coupling the door and the shaft for shifting the door laterally with respect to the door mounting member also causes translational movement of the door toward and away from the door mounting member in response to rotation of the shaft so that the door can be inserted through the opening in a warped condition and then unwarped so that the outer peripheral edge sealingly engages the inside of the opening. The operating handle for the actuating mechanism is located to one side of the access opening when the door is closed.
