  • Publication number: 20140143981
    Abstract: A door hinge that has a base attachable to a door frame and having a bushing centered on an axis and an anchor formation projecting radially outward from the bushing for attachment of the bushing to a door frame and a leaf having two hinge knuckles axially flanking the axis and an L-section web connecting the knuckles and itself having a flange attachable to an edge of a door panel. A spring-loaded closer urges the leaf into a closed position. The radial spacing between an outer surface of the bushing and the inner contact edge of the web is so small that a finger cannot engage therein, and, in the closed position with the inner contact edge engaging the anchor formation. The attachment flange is spaced from the anchor formation by a safety spacing so large that a finger cannot be pinched between the flange and the anchor formation.
