Abstract
A hold open rod includes an inner member, an outer member configured to have the inner member slide in and out of the outer member, and a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the inner member and the outer member with respect to each other. The locking mechanism includes a locking plug configured to move axially along an axis of the inner member and the outer member to a locking position and an unlocking position, a locking dog configured to move radially between a locking position and an unlocking position as a result of a camming action with the locking plug as the locking plug moves axially, and a lock transfer bar operatively connected to the locking plug and configured to move the locking plug to the locking position and the unlocking position when the lock transfer bar is moved.
