Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods provide for technology that moves a vent panel into a pressurization position to close a depressurization vent to allow an apparatus to be pressurized. In the pressurization position, a first protrusion abuts a door structure. The vent panel is coupled with the first protrusion. The technology moves the vent panel to a depressurization position to open the depressurization vent to depressurize the apparatus. In the depressurization position the first protrusion is separated from the door structure. The technology moves the vent panel to an intermediate position between the pressurization position and the depressurization position. In the intermediate position the first protrusion abuts the door structure.
