A door pull may be arranged to be operated with a foot or a tool close to the floor. The door pull may include a central portion allowing a user to actuate a door by bringing the foot or the tool in contact with the door pull. The door pull may further include a central portion which includes a serrated top edge, configured to make ergonomic and comfortable contact with a sole of a shoe, and a smooth lower edge, configured to make ergonomic and comfortable contact with a toe box of a shoe.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided herein for handless operation of a door. For example, a system is disclosed having a foot pedal assembly configured to be disposed at a bottom edge of the door, the foot pedal assembly configured to generate a signal, and a push-lock assembly configured to attach to a door handle external to a mounting rose of the door handle, the push-lock assembly configured to receive the signal from the foot pedal assembly and translate the signal into rotational movement configured to operate the door handle.

A system comprises a door including a latch assembly configured to latch the door to a doorframe in a closed position of the door. An latch actuator is operatively connected to the latch assembly to drive the latch assembly to latch and unlatch the door. A exterior touchless sensor operatively connected to the actuator to cause the actuator to unlatch the latch assembly upon receipt of touchless input from a user.

The present invention discloses a foot operated door opener adapted to allow a user to open a door without requiring the use of a hand. The opener comprises a foot support member extending from the base member. The base member configured to be attachable to a bottom surface of a door comprises a plurality of fastener apertures through which screws or similar attachment means may be passed to secure door opener to a door. The foot support member comprises a first portion extending horizontally from the base member, a first arc portion extends outwardly and diverges upwards from the first portion and a second arc portion extends outwardly and diverges downwards from the first portion. The foot support member is configured to be engaged by the user's foot and allows application of force to open the door.

A dual-purpose foot-operated door opener adapted to be fixed on an inward surface of a door. The foot-operated door opener has a fixed portion and an upper hook portion. The fixed portion is fixed on the inward surface of the door and has an upper end and a lower end. The upper hook portion is connected to the upper end of the fixed portion. The lower hook portion is connected to the lower end of the fixed portion and extends away from the door. A distal area of the lower hook portion is bent upward. The door can be pulled open either by putting the tiptoes of a foot into the upper hook to hook the upper hook portion or by pressing the foot on the lower hook portion to frictionally engage the foot with the lower hook portion.

A door opening system and method include a securing assembly including a suction cup that is configured to secure the door opening system to a door of a structure. An engagement protuberance is coupled to the suction cup. The engagement protuberance is configured to be engaged in a hands-free manner to open the door.

A foot-operated door opening/closing/latching device is disclosed, including at least a single piece of material having a base member and an extension member; wherein the base member is configured to be attachable to a bottom surface of a door; wherein the extension member, which does not protrude below the bottom surface of the door, includes at least a first portion arcing upwardly, a second portion arcing downwardly, and a third portion arcing upwardly, configured to be engaged by a top, bottom or a side portion of a user's shoe such that when at least one of a downward, upward or sideward force is applied by said portion of said shoe, respectively, to the extension member, the door pulls open or closed; and the door opener/closer/latch is attachable to a door in such a manner that the door opener/closer/latch traverses one or more tracks or grooves formed in the base member.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided herein for the handless operation of a door. Illustrative examples of a system disclosed herein include a user interaction assembly configured to be disposed at a bottom edge of the door, the user interaction assembly configured to generate a signal, a push-lock assembly configured to attach to a door handle external to a mounting rose of the door handle, and the push-lock assembly configured to receive the signal from the user interaction assembly and translate the signal into rotational movement configured to operate the door handle.

A foot receiving platform, including an attachment plate, including a first section removably connected to at least a portion of a first side of a door leaf, and a second section removably connected to at least a portion of a second side of the door leaf, and a pivoting surface movably disposed on at least a portion of the first section and the second section to receive a foot of a user thereon.

An improved foot pull for hands free opening of a door is described. The design provides a more ergonomic engagement of the user by providing an angled plate to engage their foot the plate further including a region treated to prevent slippage of the users foot off of the plate. A pair of the foot pulls can be used in tandem to provide a door stop and a means to hold a door in the open position against a wall. The design can also include actuators that can release a latch on the door. The actuators include mechanical linkages to the door handle. The actuators can also be electronic with wired or wireless connection to the latch on the door and can further be used to signal and actuate any electronic device such as a light or alarm system. The door pull can also include a mechanical cable or a hydraulic connection to actuate the door latch.
