A door opener and a method of using the door opener is disclosed. The door opener comprises a housing, a door handle grabber extending from the housing and adapted to engage a door handle, and a motor coupled to the door handle grabber and adapted to rotate the door handle grabber.

A door latch operating device that is a safer door handle alternative to a traditional door knob or handle. This device includes a door handle offering numerous surfaces that a person can use to operate the door latch using his or her foot, elbow, knee or handy object such as an umbrella or handbag

Opening and closing a door without the use of one's hands is facilitated. For instance, an apparatus can comprise one or two rotatable rings. For a one ring apparatus, the ring can have an opening so that the inner cross section of the opening of the ring can be pushed with a forearm or knee so that the ring will rotate and the person can then pull on the ring with his/her forearm or knee to open the door. In a two-ring apparatus, two adjacent rings, both with openings, can comprise similar push surfaces. When pushed on the pushed surfaces, the rings will rotate and the cross sections of the openings of the rings come into contact with one another, creating a surface against which a forearm or knee can pull on to open the door. A rotation plane converter can turn a doorknob using the apparatus.

A tool for facilitating no-contact activities includes a first manipulation member having a curvilinear edge defining a first surface and an opposing second surface. The curvilinear edge is provided with a plurality of bump surfaces. A second manipulation member extends outwardly of the first manipulation member, and a third manipulation member extends from the second manipulation member. The third manipulation member includes at least one hook element. One of the first manipulation member and the second manipulation member includes an accessory mount that is configured to detachably receives a no-contact accessory.

A rotary cylinder assembly, including a rotary cylinder housing assembly and a spindle transmission assembly, wherein the spindle transmission assembly is arranged on one side of a latch or used individually; and a rotary cylinder housing assembly is arranged at the other end of the spindle transmission assembly and configured to drive the spindle transmission assembly under an external force to rotate to realize deadlocking. The rotary cylinder assembly drives the spindle transmission assembly by driving the rotary cylinder housing assembly to toggle the latch toggling sleeve to drive a bolt of the latch to extend, or drives a toggling adaptor of the spindle transmission assembly to directly hook or clamp a certain fixed part of a to-be-locked object, thereby realizing keyless mechanical deadlocking of the mechanical deadbolt lock.

A detachable handle, including a handle assembly, a friction surface disposed on at least a portion of a center portion of the handle assembly to facilitate gripping thereof, and a plurality of hooks, including a first hook movably disposed on at least a portion of a first end of the handle assembly to detachably connect to an external surface, and a second hook movably disposed on at least a portion of a second end of the handle assembly to detachably connect to the external surface.

An indicator lock has a rotatable indicator which rotates with the depression of a button on the other side of the lock which is used to simultaneously cause a door to be locked and rotate the indicator. This is accomplished by way of a shaft which rotationally moves with the the locking button. The locking button is pressed inwards and rotates as it is pressed inwards due to a channel which is diagonally disposed relative to the direction the button is pressed. A pin extending out from a shaft of the button is in the diagonal channel and a spring adds tension to push the button and display back to the unlocked configuration. This tension is overcome when the button is pressed and the pin enters into a section of the channel which is parallel to the shaft and direction of button press.

A container door opening system for assisting in the opening and closing of rusted tight or stuck hinges on intermodal container doors. The container door opening system generally includes an elongated member having a movably first engaging member and a fixed second engaging member. The first engaging member is movable both towards and away from the second engaging member so as to adjust the effective distance between the engaging members. A bias member is connected to the first engaging member so as to bias the first engaging member away from the second engaging member. The first engaging member may be engaged with a first anchor point on a container door and the second engaging member may be engaged with a second anchor point on the container door. The elongated member may then be pivoted away from the door to open it or towards the door to close it.

A latch mechanism for a bathroom stall door includes: a sliding latch having an engagement portion and a user contact portion, the user contact portion having a latch movement section and a door movement section; a door bracket configured to attach to a door and that restrains movement of the sliding latch relative to the door, the movement being restrained to a sliding movement; and a latch catcher configured to attach to a frame adjacent to the door, the latch catcher receiving the engagement portion of the sliding latch when the sliding latch is in a latched position. The latch movement section is configured to translate movement of the user to movement of the sliding latch between an unlatched position and the latched position, and the door movement section is configured to translate movement of the user to movement of the door between an open position and a closed position.

A device for reducing direct contact between a person's hand and an object in their environment. The device is a low touch utensil comprising a body with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. A handle provided on the body is grasped in a single hand of a user. The user manipulates the body to bring at least one region of the utensil's body into contact with a surface of an object in their environment, particularly a surface the user might think is contaminated with viruses, bacteria or other substances. The user manipulates the body to apply a pushing force on the object or a pulling force on the object in order to move the object, activate a function of the object, or deactivate a function of the object. The contact region on the body may be a specially configured region of the peripheral wall.
