HANDS-FREE DOOR LATCH
A hands-free door latch allows closing the door and latching the door shut without a person using the person's hands, and further allows unlatching the latch without the person using the person's hands. In one preferred embodiment, shutting the door causes the latch to close by the force of gravity. In some embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's foot. In other embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's arm or elbow. The hands-free door latch allows a person to latch and unlatch a door without hands, thereby decreasing the likelihood of exposing a person's hands to germs left by someone else.
