Description

The present invention relates to a door opening / closing operation tool that is attached to a door to open and close the door, and in particular, the door opening / closing operation can be performed by foot without using a hand. Regarding the door opening / closing operation tool that enables the operation.

Normally, the opening and closing operation of a manual door such as a hinged door or a sliding door is performed by grasping the handle or the puller. However, for example, in the case of large refrigerators installed in supermarkets and convenience stores, and doors installed at the entrances and entrances of toilets in various facilities, the handles and pulls are unsuitable because they can be touched by an unspecified number of people. It tends to be hygienic and can contribute to the spread of infectious diseases. In addition, when both hands are occupied, such as by holding a luggage, the luggage must be lowered to the floor or the like and then the door must be opened and closed, which is troublesome.

In view of these circumstances, appliances and devices have been proposed that enable the door to be opened and closed by using the feet without using the hands. For example, it has an operation unit that is attached to a door provided in a housing such as a refrigerator body and is operated by a foot from the outside and a pressing unit that presses and releases the door so that the user can operate the operation unit with the foot. There is a door opening mechanism that performs the initial opening operation of the door by operating it (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-253239

If the door opening mechanism described in Patent Document 1 is attached to the door, the opening operation can be performed with the foot, so that the above-mentioned hygiene problem and troublesomeness when the hand is occupied can be solved. However, since the door opening mechanism described in Patent Document 1 has a complicated structure, it is considered that it takes time and cost to manufacture and attach the door to the door.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a door opening / closing operation tool that can be manufactured at a low cost and can be easily attached.

The means adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems are formed so as to have a base fixed to the front surface of the door and to project forward from the base when the base is fixed to the front surface of the door. It is a door opening / closing operation tool characterized by having a footrest.

By attaching the door opening / closing operation tool configured in this way to the door, the user can hang his / her foot on the footrest to open / close the door. In addition, since it has a simple structure, it can be easily manufactured, and the work of attaching it to the door can be performed in a short time.

Further, the footrest portion may have a non-slip portion formed at a portion in contact with the foot.

By doing so, the "hanging" between the user's foot and the footrest portion is improved, and it is possible to prevent the foot from being unexpectedly detached from the footrest portion during the opening / closing operation. In addition, since the force applied to the footrest is less likely to escape, the door can be opened and closed smoothly.

Further, the footrest portion may be provided with a cushioning member at the tip thereof.

For example, when a door opening / closing operation tool is attached to a hinged hinged door, when the opening angle of the door becomes large, the footrest formed by protruding from the base comes into contact with a wall or furniture adjacent to the door. There is a risk of scratching. Therefore, by providing a cushioning member at the tip of the footrest portion, this can be prevented.

According to the door opening / closing operation tool according to the present invention, the user can perform the opening / closing operation by hanging his / her foot on the footrest without touching the door, which improves convenience when both hands are closed. At the same time, it can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. In addition, since the number of parts is small and a simple structure is adopted, it can be manufactured at a low cost and can be easily attached to the door.

The present invention is a door opening / closing operation tool that enables a door opening / closing operation to be performed by a foot without using a hand, and includes a base portion and a footrest portion. In the scope of this specification and claims for utility model registration, a "door" has a function of closing the entrance / exit of a building or room, the opening of furniture, electrical appliances, etc., and blocking the inside and the outside. It includes sliding doors that slide left and right to open and close, and hinged doors that open and close in an arc around the hinged part.

The base is the part that is fixed to the front of the door. The shape and size of the base are such that when the user puts his foot on the footrest, which will be described in detail later, the door does not easily come off and the force applied in the opening or closing direction of the door does not easily escape. If there is, the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be formed in a flat plate shape so that a wide contact area with the front surface of the door can be secured. Further, the mounting means to the door is not particularly limited as long as the above functions can be secured. For example, screw holes are formed in the base and the front surface of the door, and screws are screwed into these screw holes. By doing so, it can be attached by interposing an adhesive such as a double-sided adhesive tape between the base and the door.

The footrest portion is a portion formed for the user to rest his / her foot when opening / closing the door, and is formed so as to project forward when the base portion is fixed to the door. The shape and size of the footrest are such that the user can easily put his foot on it and the force applied in the opening or closing direction of the door does not easily escape, depending on the form of the door (swing door or sliding door) to which the door opening / closing operation tool is attached. If it is, the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be formed by bending or combining plate-shaped or rod-shaped members.

Further, the footrest portion may be formed with a non-slip portion at a portion where the user's foot comes into contact. The non-slip portion is formed to prevent the user's foot from easily coming off the footrest portion during the opening / closing operation. For example, the contact portion may be formed in an uneven shape or a saw blade shape, or a rubber material. It can be formed by attaching a non-slip member such as.

Further, the footrest portion may be provided with a cushioning member at the tip thereof. When the door opening / closing operation tool is attached to the door, the footrest portion protrudes in front of the door. For this reason, when the door opening / closing operation tool is attached to, for example, a hinge-type hinged door, when the opening angle of the door suddenly increases, the tip of the footrest is adjacent to the door, furniture, etc. There is a risk of scratching the door. Therefore, a cushioning member can be provided at the tip of the footrest to prevent such a situation. The cushioning member can be made of, for example, a resin-based elastomer such as rubber or silicon, a sponge, or the like.

The material of the base and the footrest that constitute the door opening / closing operation tool is not particularly limited as long as it has strength that does not interfere with the opening / closing operation with the foot. For example, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. It can be produced by using metal, plastic, wood, hard rubber, etc. Further, the base portion and the footrest portion may be integrally formed or may be formed as separate members.
