The invention relates to an interlock mechanism (71) for a toilet (1) for vehicles, in particular for busses, mobile homes, caravans, and yachts, having an upper part (2) with a toilet bowl (7) and a support part (3) with a cassette compartment (14), wherein a cassette (15) can be inserted into the cassette compartment (14). A passing part (4) is disposed between the toilet bowl (7) and the cassette (15) in the inserted state (EZ). The passing part (4) can be closed by a passing part closure (5). According to the invention, the interlock mechanism (71) can be coupled with the passing part closure (5) and the cassette (15). The invention further relates to a toilet having such an interlock mechanism and a method for operating it.

1. An interlock mechanism for a toilet for vehicles, having an upper part with a toilet bowl and a support part with a cassette compartment, wherein a cassette can be inserted into the cassette compartment, wherein a passing part is disposed between the toilet bowl and the cassette in the inserted state (IS), wherein the passing part can be closed by a passing part closure, characterized in that the interlock mechanism comprises a closing dog movable with the passing part closure, a cassette dog moveable with the cassette and a coupling member which transmits movement between the cassette dog and the closing dog and wherein when the cassette is removed, the closing dog disengages a closing bar sufficiently that the closing bar precludes movement of the passing part closure in at least one direction. 2. The interlock mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that the interlock mechanism has the closing bar and the cassette bar that can be moved via the cassette dog and the closing dog coupled with the cassette dog between release positions (RP) and locking positions (LP). 3. The interlock mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that the interlock mechanism has the closing dog that can be coupled with the passing part closure and the cassette dog that can be coupled with the cassette, wherein the closing dog and the cassette dog are coupled with each other in a motion-transmitting manner. 4. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the closing dog is engageable and disengageable with the passing part closure by the closing bar. 5. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the cassette dog is engageable and disengageable with the cassette by the cassette bar. 6. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the closing dog and the cassette dog are coupled with each other by the coupling member. 7. The interlock mechanism according to claim 6, characterized in that the coupling of the closing dog and the cassette dog is formed such that a rotation of the upper part to the support part is possible. 8. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the closing bar and the cassette bar are biased by springs. 9. A toilet for vehicles, comprising: an upper part with a toilet bowl and a support part with a cassette compartment, wherein a cassette can be inserted into the cassette compartment, wherein a passing part is disposed between the toilet bowl and the cassette in the inserted state (IS), wherein the passing part can be closed by a passing part closure and comprising an interlock mechanism characterized in that the interlock mechanism comprises a closing dog, a cassette dog and a coupling member coupled with the passing part closure and the cassette so that the coupling member which transmits movement between the cassette dog and the closing dog; and wherein when the cassette is removed, the closing dog disengages a closing bar sufficiently that the closing bar precludes movement of the passing part closure in at least one direction. 10. The toilet according to claim 9, characterized in that the interlock mechanism is coupled with the passing part closure and the cassette. 11. The toilet according to claim 10, characterized in that the interlock mechanism is formed such that the passing part closure can only be moved from a closing position when the cassette is in the inserted state (IS). 12. The toilet according to claim 11, characterized in that the interlock mechanism is formed such that the cassette is fixed in the inserted state (IS) when the passing part closure is out of the closing position. 13. The toilet according to claim 10, characterized in that an inlet cover at the cassette can be opened by inserting the cassette into the cassette compartment and can be closed by pulling the cassette out of the cassette compartment. 14. The toilet according to claim 10, characterized in that the passing part closure comprises a slider sword and a slider handle. 15. The toilet according to claim 13, characterized in that the passing part and an inlet port of cassette align in the inserted state (IS) of the cassette. 16. A method for operating the toilet comprising: a) inserting a cassette into a cassette compartment and releasing an inlet port of the cassette by acting upon an inlet cover of the cassette (15); b) acting of the cassette upon an interlock mechanism having a closing dog, a cassette dog and a coupling member; c) actuating the interlock mechanism and releasing a passing part closure; d) need-based moving of the passing part closure from a closing position for closing a passing part into an open position for opening the passing part and at the same time locking the cassette in the cassette compartment; e) moving the passing part closure into the closing position; f) acting of the passing part closure upon the interlock mechanism; and g) actuating the interlock mechanism for locking the passing part closure in the closing position of the passing part closure and at the same time releasing the cassette for removal from the cassette compartment; wherein when the cassette is removed, the closing dog disengages a closing bar sufficiently that the closing bar precludes movement of the passing part closure in at least one direction. 17. The method for operating the toilet according to claim 16, wherein after step g) there follows removal of the cassette from the cassette compartment and the closure of the inlet port of the cassette by acting upon the inlet cover of the cassette. 18. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the closing dog and the cassette dog are coupled with each other by at least one of a Bowden cable, a rod, a transmission, a servo motor, a linear or rotational guide, a cable pull, a chain drive, and lifting magnet. 19. The interlock mechanism according to claim 2, characterized in that the closing dog and the cassette dog are formed as one piece.
