Abstract

A C-shaped door handle for replacing a conventional rotatable doorknob has mounting brackets at each end for attaching to a flat surface and a drive shaft adapted to engage a conventional latch-operating mechanism. The handle has an internal pivoted grip lever actuated by pulling the handle. Motion from the grip lever is transmitted to the rotary drive shaft by a rack and pinion transmission.
