Claim:
1. A medical appliance comprising: a housing; a door pivotably connected to the housing; a handle mechanism arranged at the door, the handle mechanism having a handle for gripping the handle mechanism arranged on an outside of the door, a part that protrudes, in a closed state of the door, into the housing, and a shaft extending through the door and rigidly connecting the handle mechanism and the part that protrudes, in the closed state of the door, into the housing; and a locking mechanism via which the door can be locked with the housing, the locking mechanism including a first part arranged at the housing and a second part arranged at the part of the handle mechanism that protrudes, in the closed state of the door, into the housing; the first part of the locking mechanism being interlockingly engageable with the second part of the locking mechanism in the closed state of the door, such that the part of the handle mechanism that protrudes, in the closed state of the door, into the housing can be interlocked with the housing, the handle mechanism allowing a user, by gripping the handle mechanism, to open and close the door in case the door is unlocked, and to move the medical appliance in case that the door is locked, the handle mechanism including the handle, the shaft, and the part that protrudes, in the closed state of the door, into the housing, and being movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the door, the handle mechanism being connected to the door by a spring such that on closing the door by pushing the handle, the door first abuts with the housing, While the handle mechanism including the handle, the shaft, and the part that protrudes, in the closed state of the door, into the housing, continues to move longitudinally relative to the door into a locking position and thereby tensions the spring, with the spring providing a closing force pressing the door against the housing in the locking position with the door closed and the first part and the second part of the locking mechanism interlocked, with the locking mechanism being separately opened by a manipulation mechanism, and with the locking mechanism being unopenable by operating the handle.
