I first realized how hard it was to open a handle without contacting your skin which made me realize that if there was a tool to do that, people wouldn't worry about getting the virus through touching normal to-be objects. So, I had this idea of making this retractable hook that would be easy to produce and to use. It can be printed form a 3d printer but more recommended is for it to be molded out of brass. Either was all there is to do is snap on the brown handle onto the hook while the hook is in the casing. This will create a push-able handle for the hook to expose itself. After you have used it on the doorknob or grocery, then retract the hook back and lock it in place.
This project might look simple and very incomplete, but this is certainly very useful and is a simple enough gadget. This is very sustainable and it can be helpful when there are obstacles in the way, like a doorknob with microorganisms lurking under it. I first thought about this idea when I had trouble turning a doorknob without making skin or clothing contact. This became really pestering for me as I needed to turn this knob every single day. This lead me to designing this solution to solve everyone's peeve of turning a pathogen infested doorknob with their hands. Then, a few weeks later, a relative of mine demonstrated how you could help people out and state your great ideas on this program. This eventually led me into placing a 3d model of my final product into this program to see if it would be approved. This idea could really compliment anyone's daily life problems and easily protect them from any dangers from the virus.
