Abstract
The safety hinge is proposed for use to eliminate pinching of fingers in the area between a door frame and the hinge edge of a door panel. The hinge comprises interlocking hinge sections each including mounting flange, an arm extending perpendicularly from said flange and terminating in a pivot element by means of which the hinge sections join together to form the hinge. The safety hinge is used in a safety door assembly which further includes a resilient end cap secured to the swing edge of the door panel and structure for latching the door in a closed position thereof as well as structure for keeping the door panel from swinging through the door frame.
