Abstract:
A door gap finger guard, comprising:an elongated rigid fixed plate adapted to be fixedly attached along an inner surface of a door jamb; an elongated rigid movable plate extending along a parallel direction to said rigid fixed plate when said movable plate is relaxed, said movable plate terminating in an unattached free edge; and a springy strip connected between adjacent edges of said rigid fixed plate and said rigid movable plate; wherein said free edge of said rigid movable plate is adapted to be biased against a door and slide against said door at all door angles solely by said springy strip to cover a gap between said door and said door jamb; and said springy strip is narrower than said rigid fixed plate and said rigid movable plate for reducing a deformable area of said finger guard and thus resisting intrusion.
