Now, a Toepener to open bathroom doors with the foot
February 4th, 2011 - 5:24 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Feb 4 (ANI): A student from the University of Minnesota has invented what is called as a Toepener, which allows people to use their feet instead of their hands when opening bathroom doors.
Student Maxwell Arndt had invented the device in an entrepreneurship class, and it is now showing up in businesses around the Twin Cities, KSTP.com reported.
Now people, who enter public restrooms, will not have to think twice about the germs they might carry from the door handles.
The Toepener sells for 50.00 dollars and the University will get royalties on the device. (ANI)
