  • Patent number: 6353971
    Abstract: Touchless door pull apparatus comprising an engagement slot on a door, and a cooperating hand tool. The slot and hand tool are cooperatively configured such that the hand tool can be engaged with an engagement surface associated with the slot, temporarily coupling the hand tool and the door to each other. The hand tool is then pulled away from the door, thus to open the door without touching the door. The slot can be part of a door accessory mounted on the door, or can be fabricated into the door structure. As an accessory, the door pull apparatus comprises a pull base for mounting on the door. The pull base and hand tool have first and second engagement elements, cooperatively configured such that the first and second engagement elements can be engaged, thus to temporarily couple the hand tool and the pull base to each other.
