Abstract: Protective devices which are attached to a door and the surrounding casing for the purpose of providing maximum protection for the fingers of small children include: (1) a door stop device pivotally mounted on the front surface of the door, adjacent the free or unhinged edge, such that the stop automatically pivots downwardly and outwardly when the door opens to a position between the door and adjacent casing to prevent complete closure of the door until the stop device is reset; (2) a flexible, retractible shield overlying the forward gap between the front edge of the hinged side of the door and adjacent casing sidewall; (3) a flexible shield overlying the rear gap between the rear edge of the hinged side of the door and the casing; and (4) a yieldable, soft member forming a substantial portion of the vertical free edge of the door.
