Abstract: A finger-safe door-hinge combination looks and feels like a conventional residential door. Finger protection is achieved through the use of soft, deformable materials on the hinge-side edge in combination with specialized hinges. The deformable materials are shaped to give the appearance of a traditional door yet provide clamping injury protection by yielding to fingers. The specialized hinges provide structural support across the deformable materials in a finger-safe manner such that hinge leaves do not cause clamping injury.

Abstract: A guide wire cover including a parabolic arcuate forward end portion and including an upper and lower arcuate surface extending rearwardly into cooperating rear terminal ends terminating in a coextensive linear edge parallel to and arranged medially of the forward arcuate surface of the apparatus defining a sheath slidably mounted in cooperation with a guide wire and extending coextensively therewith. The sheath may further include a coextensive interior liner formed interiorly of the sheath mounted within a stepped floor of the sheath to define a coextensive interior arcuate surface to provide a surface resistant to premature erosion in cooperation with the associated guide wire.
