Finger Guard For Pivot Hung Door

US Patent:
3934371, Jan 27, 1976
Filed:
Apr 7, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/565645
Inventors:
Henry J. Ulatowski - Southington CT
William H. Flaherty - Bristol CT
Assignee:
The Stanley Works - New Britain CT
International Classification:
E05D 1100
US Classification:
49383
Abstract:
A finger guard assembly is structured for easy field retrofitting to a standard center-pivot door without removing the door from the doorway. The assembly includes a pair of extruded jamb guard members flush mounted on a doorway jamb and a pair of extruded door guard members flush mounted on the opposite parallel surfaces of the door stile. The jamb guard members and door guard members are shaped and positioned to cooperatively provide a narrow gap for preventing the entry of fingers therebetween. The several guard members are temporarily supported in position on the jamb and door by double faced adhesive tape preparatory to final mounting.
