Abstract
A locking mechanism (1) responsible for moving crossed rods for locking a door or compartment of a vehicle such as a bus, has a main cylinder (2), a fixed base (3) and articulated arms (4) equipped with rod holders (4.1). The locking mechanism herein being substantially more compact and efficient than similar mechanisms in terms of application and functionality, as the locking mechanism avoids rotating parts in the mechanism for effecting locking and unlocking, instead relying on a push/pull activation which provides many advantages.
