Door Hinge Gap Blocker for the Protection of Hands and Fingers
A hinge stile gap blocking apparatus and a method designed to prevent hand and finger injuries resulting from inadvertent door closures. The apparatus includes a hinge gap cover for use with an existing hinged door and door surround configured to continuously occlude the hinge stile gap between a door jamb and the outer facing edge of a door hinge stile. The hinge stile gap blocking apparatus has a curved portion that is shaped to track the arc of an inner edge of the door hinge stile when the door is pivoted from an open to closed position and from the closed to the open position. The apparatus is sufficiently rigid so that fingers cannot pry around the curved portion and thus risk exposure to the hinge stile gap of the door. When the door is pivoted on the hinges of the door, the inner edge of the door hinge stile traces a curved path and follows the curved portion so that the hinge stile gap is occluded at all times.
