Gate unlocking

A safety gate for use in a doorway, hall, or the like, the safety gate comprising:

• a substantially U-shaped frame having first and second arms connected by a cross member, the frame providing a passageway between the arms above the cross member;
• a bracket movably coupled to the second arm and providing a bracket recess, a part of the bracket recess being provided by a bracket camming surface;
• a foot pedal coupled to the bracket and movably coupled to the frame near the bottom end of the second arm;
• a spring coupled to the foot pedal and requiring a predetermined force to change a length of the spring;
• and
• a door pivotally mounted to the first arm along a pivot axis and including a pin biased away from the pivot axis and configured to be received by the bracket recess, the door substantially preventing an infant from passing through the passageway when the pin is received by the bracket recess;
• wherein when the foot pedal is moved toward a bottom of the frame in a gate-opening direction, the bracket camming surface bears against the pin to move the pin substantially out of the bracket recess.
