FOOT-OPERATED DOOR LATCH
The disclosed foot-operated door latch is comprised of a housing 5 incorporating a foot piece 7 mounted on the inside face of a cubicle door 12. The housing contains a cavity in which a latch bolt 4 is retained and guided. The latch bolt incorporates an integral rack section which is engaged with a gear sector 3 attached to a pivot shaft 2. The pivot shaft protrudes outside the housing 5 and is attached to a foot pedal 1, which, when pushed down on one side moves the latch bolt 4 towards that side by the action of the gear sector 3, and when pushed down on the other side moves the latch bolt in the opposite direction. This movement engages or disengages the latch bolt with a receptacle 6 mounted on an adjacent cubicle front panel 13 or doorjamb. The pivot shaft 2 extends through the cubicle door 12 and supports an indicator 10 which rotates inside a housing 9 incorporating a foot piece 8 mounted on the outside face of the door.
