Finger guard safety device

摘要

A finger guard device is designed to be inserted into a gap between a hinged door and a doorjamb that is created when the door is at least partially open. The finger guard device includes a wedge and a protuberance from the wedge that is shaped and sized to hook over a hinge of the door. The finger guard device is placed to straddle a hinge so that the wedge extends down one side of a hinge and the protuberance hooks over the other side of the hinge. When the finger guard is so placed, the door can not be completely closed and a gap remains between the door and the doorjamb. This gap prevents injury caused by fingers being pinched in doorjambs.

主权项

1. A finger guard device for hanging on a door hinge that is connected to a door and to a door jamb comprising:
a wedge including:
a first surface with a first outward edge and a first inward edge,a second surface skewed relative to the first surface and having a second outward edge and a second inward edge, the second inward edge meeting the first inward edge of the first surface, anda third surface bridging the first outward edge of the first surface and the second outward edge of the second surface,wherein at least one of the first surface and the second surface includes a first recessed depression that is recessed relative to a perimeter of the at least one of the first surface and the second surface; and wherein the third surface includes a second recessed depression that is concave relative to a perimeter of the third surface a protuberance extending outwardly from the first inward edge of the first surface and the second inward edge of the second surface and then extending downwardly to create a shape such that the wedge and protuberance can hang on a hinge and prevent the door connected to the door hinge from closing.
