Description

Field of invention The invention relates to a safety device (hereinafter referred to as a shell) for door handles which is based on the anthropometric difference (the difference in size and reach) between adults, children and pets. State of the art Current child and pet safety devices for doors are mostly based on push-button mechanisms on the door handle or door handle locking levers that are glued to the door leaf next to the handle and block it when positioned. These have the disadvantage that they are often not consistently locked in everyday use. The problem underlying the invention The aim is to create a safety device that functions without active locking, can be operated by adults at any time without tools, but presents an obstacle for small children and pets due to their size and grip geometry. Solution to the problem The invention consists of a shell-like device (1) which is mounted around the door handle (2) on the door leaf (5). • The underside, front, and sides are closed. A child or pet reaching for the door handle (2) from below will hit the barrier. • The top is open. Since adults have a significantly higher eye line and longer arms, they can reach into the tray (1) from above and operate the door handle (2) as usual. • The tray (1) also serves as a privacy screen for the door handle (2) from the child's perspective ( 8 ), which reduces the incentive to play with the door handle (2). Description of the drawings 1 The figure shows the bowl (1) in an oblique 3D view from slightly the upper left.2 Figure 1 shows the bowl (1) in an oblique 3D view from the top right.3 Figure 1 shows the bowl (1) in an oblique 3D view from the bottom left.4 shows the bowl (1) in a 3D view from below.5 The figure shows the tray (1) mounted on the door (5) in a front view. It is clearly visible how the handle (2) is covered and the lock (4) remains accessible.6 The bowl (1) is shown mounted on the door (5) in a 3D view from slightly the top left.7 The tray (1) is shown mounted on the door (5) in a 3D view from an angle above right. This view is approximately like that of an adult looking at the safety device. The handle (2) is clearly visible and accessible from this position.8 The tray (1) is shown mounted on the door (5) in a 3D view from a low angle. This view is approximately like that of a child or pet looking at the protective device (1). Reference symbol list: 1Peel2door handle3Door sign4Lock5Door leaf
