Deformable hinge gap blocker for the protection of hands and fingers
This invention relates to a hinge stile gap blocking apparatus designed to prevent hand and finger injuries resulting from inadvertent door closures. The apparatus includes a hinge gap blocker for use with an existing door and door surround configured to continuously occlude a gap between the door jamb and the outer facing edge of a door hinge stile. The hinge stile gap blocking apparatus has a vaulted portion that is shaped to cover the exposed hinge barrels of a door. When installed, the hinge gap blocker covers exposed hinge barrels and continuously occludes the outside hinge gap between the door and door jamb when the door is pivoted.
