1. A door handle extension for a paddle handle on a door of a recreational vehicle, comprising:
a hollow, rigid bar approximately three feet in length and one inch in width; an internal cable extending longitudinally within said hollow bar at least three fourths the length thereof and constrained to longitudinal motion by a pulley near each end thereof; a paddle-engaging, right-angle, elongate lever vertically pivotally mounted on the upper portion of said bar, said lever having a right-angled free end normally spaced apart from said bar and extending downwardly from the pivot point of said lever at an angle of approximately 45°, said right-angled free end extending approximately one inch from the longitudinal axis of said lever in a direction substantially parallel to the pivot axis of said lever such that said free end engages the inboard side of the paddle on the vehicle door when said door handle extension is installed with the door closed, said lever operatively connected to the upper end of said internal cable such that increased tension on said cable causes said lever to pivot downwardly toward said bar, said lever being spring-biased away from said downwardly pivoted position; an operating handle vertically pivotally mounted on the lower portion of said bar and operatively connected to the lower end of said internal cable such that downward pivoting thereof causes increased tension on said cable; and first and second suction cups mounted on said upper and lower portions of said bar, closely adjacent to said lever and said handle, respectively, whereby said door handle extension can be readily attached to and removed from the vehicle door. |
