ABSTRACT:
A pressure vessel which includes a door operating apparatus which enables a door to the pressure vessel to be moved between open and closed positions quickly and easily is provided. The door operating apparatus includes a translation rod supported on the pressure vessel for sliding movement relative to the housing of the pressure vessel such that the sliding movement of the translation rod guides the door in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door opening in the housing between the open and closed positions. The translation rod further being supported on the pressure vessel for pivotal movement with respect to the pressure vessel housing so as to enable the door to pivot about an axis defined by the translation rod into a fully open position. A handle can also be pivotally connected in off-center relation to a front face of the door for movement between a retracted position wherein the handle is arranged substantially adjacent to the front face of the door and an extended position wherein the handle extends away from the front face of the door and towards an outer periphery of the door.
