Automobile door handle opener

Abstract

A new tool for a purpose of actuating vehicle door, and other, handles, a purpose never before performed by any tool. A type of hook designed to replace one's fingertips as the operative force in opening an automobile door. The preferred embodiment has a hole (4) for attachment of a key ring and keys to serve as a handle. It may have a hinge (10), limited in the degree to which it will open by bumps (12), to make it collapsible and thereby unobstrusive when not in use. It may be made of plastic (FIGS. 8 & 9) or given a plastic or rubber coating (8) over parts that make contact with the vehicle, to prevent marring said vehicle, when the tool is made of metal. This tool is intended to be useful to women who wish to avoid damage to their real or artificial fingernails, or polish on said fingernails. It is also intended to be useful to arthritics or others similarly disabled. Further it is intended to be useful to the aforementioned categories of people in opening furniture, cabinet, and/or stove doors and drawers. Additionally it can be used by a broader class of people, that is those who wish to hang up their keys when no special rack for that purpose is available.
