Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a foot-operated doorknob device in which the doorknob can be rotated by hand and the doorknob can be opened by stepping on a foot pedal.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional doors are constructed by turning the door knob by hand to remove the stopper and open the door. Therefore, this kind of door was difficult to open when carrying luggage in both hands, or physically handicapped people. Therefore, the petal type door handle assisting device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-71075 has been proposed. That is, referring to FIG. 4, the main body 1 is provided with a petal 2 which can be freely moved up and down, a spring 3 is provided under the petal 2, a wire 5 is provided between the fixing metal fitting 4 and the petal 2, and the main body 1 is attached to the door 12. It is fixed.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The conventional foot-operated doorknob device is expensive because it has a complicated structure, and in the case of a decorative door, there are few flat parts, so it is difficult to fix the device to an appropriate position. There were problems such as being there. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a foot-operated doorknob device which has a simple structure and is inexpensive, and which does not need to be fixed to a door.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a foot-operated door knob device according to the present invention has a handle having an operating lever portion at one end of a fitting wheel portion and fixed to the outer periphery of the door knob, and an upper end connected to the operating lever portion and a lower end. A stay having a length adjusting screw and a foot pedal that is suspended by the stay by being screwed into the length adjusting screw of the stay and has a door protection member on the back surface are provided. The door knob is constructed so as to rotate.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the foot-operated door knob device configured as described above, the door knob is rotated to open the door by stepping on the foot pedal hung from the door knob.

【Example】

 Example 1. Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3, reference numeral 2 denotes a handle, which has a fitting ring portion 2a fixed to the door knob 1 and an operating lever portion 2b integrally formed with the fitting ring portion 2a. A protrusion 2C for preventing slippage is provided inside the fitting ring portion 2a. 3 is a stay, the upper end 3a is connected to the operating lever portion 2b, and the lower end is provided with a length adjusting screw 3b. Reference numeral 4 denotes a foot pedal, which has a hanging portion 4a having a threaded portion 4b screwed into the length adjusting screw 3b of the stay 3 and a substantially rectangular shape (almost parallel to the floor surface) with respect to the hanging portion 4a. It has a petal portion 4c mounted so as to become a door and a door protection member 4d provided on the back surface of the hanging portion 4a. The door protection member 4d is made of rubber or a soft synthetic resin material. In addition, it is desirable that the petal portion 4c be configured to be foldable with respect to the suspension portion 4a.

In the foot-operated door knob device formed as described above, the fitting wheel portion 2a of the handle 2 is fixed to the door knob 1, and when the foot pedal 4 is stepped on, the door knob 1 rotates to open the door. Of course, the door knob 1 can be opened by rotating it by hand. The height of the foot pedal 4 is set to an appropriate position by adjusting the length of the length adjusting screw 3b. The petal portion 4c can be folded when the door is left open.
