<p>A system and method of opening a storage unit includes a foot pedal (104), lever arm (112), linkage arm (122), spring (120) and latching rod (110). The lever arm (112) is coupled to the foot pedal (104). The linkage arm (122) is coupled to the lever arm (112). The spring (120) is coupled to the linkage arm (122). The latching rod (110) is coupled to the spring (120) and is in a latched position. Downward movement of the foot pedal (104) causes movement of the lever arm (112) and the movement of the lever arm (112) cases movement of the linkage arm (122). The movement of the linkage arm (122) causes stretching of the spring (120) end the latching rod (110) remains stationary.</p> |
