20120055093 | MECHANISM FOR OPENING AND CLOSING BARRIER - An automatic gate opening device is claimed comprising: a gate drive axis ( | 03-08-2012 |
20160186476 | DEVICE FOR OPENING THE CABINET DOOR OF A CABINET BODY - Device for opening cabinet door of cabinet body. Cabinet door is attached to cabinet body by self-closing hinges. Cabinet door is held in closed position at a small distance from the front of cabinet body. In order to allow cabinet door to be opened without gripping elements, without hindering the self-closing of the hinges, there is a unit having ejection piston with a locking apparatus and tension rod in cabinet body. Ejection piston is supported in the unit by compression spring, and tension rod is supported in the unit by tension spring. Ejection piston and tension rod are coupled to each other by a control apparatus having a freewheel, and thus by tapping on cabinet door the opening of cabinet door can be initiated and cabinet door can be brought into an intermediate position. In the intermediate position, cabinet door can be grasped by a hand and opened further. | 06-30-2016 |

20160076295 | Foot Pedal Door Opener - A foot pedal door opener adapted to allow a user to more easily open the door of a refrigerator in a hands-free manner. The door opener provides a lever that pivots about a bar and is disposed between a pair of brackets that also pivot about the bar. A pedal is disposed on the lever and provides a foot support and a shaft. A band extends along and around the lever and the pair of brackets to provide resistance thereto. The user can manually step on the foot support, applying pressure thereto, wherein the pressure moves the lever from a resting position to a working position such that the lever pushes the refrigerator door open for the user. The foot pedal door opener can be mounted to the bottom of a refrigerator via an adhesive or other fasteners. | 03-17-2016 |

20150020454 | FOOT-OPERATED DOOR OPENER, DOOR AND USE - A foot-operated door opener, with a foot-operated actuator element arranged/locatable in the lower region of a door, for opening the door, the foot-operated actuator element has at least one foot tread element which, when actuated by a foot, at least partially pivots downwards and inwards. The foot tread element is at least also guided in a forcibly guided manner by means of a forcibly guided element and at least one forcibly-guided moving element. The foot tread element is connected rotatably to an articulated element and rotatably connected to the forcibly-guided moving element in such a manner that, upon actuation by a foot, the foot tread element both executes a movement downwards and is also moved as a whole at least partially outwards. | 01-22-2015 |

20140165470 | GATE APPARATUS - A gate apparatus includes a frame that is approximately in a shape of a letter āUā, a gate that opens forward or backward, a rotational support device that supports the gate so that the gate rotates and moves upward relative to the frame, a locking device that locks the gate at a closed position, and a pedal device that unlocks the locking device. The pedal device includes a pair of pedals on the both sides of the gate, and a push-up member that is linked to the pair of pedals. The push-up member includes a push-up surface that tilts when the pedal is operated. The push-up surface tilts so that the push-up surface moves upward and comes in contact with the gate on the side closer to the pedal that has been operated, and applies a push-up force and a rotation force to the gate. | 06-19-2014 |
20140311032 | STEP PLATE MECHANISM FOR DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING DEVICE - To further reduce the space required for installation, and to facilitate installation of a device for opening and closing a door by the stepping force of a pedestrian, the door-opening/closing device includes a step plate ( | 10-23-2014 |
