Abstract:
1. A door safety device for preventing injury during an attempted closing of a hinged or sliding door, the door safety device comprising: a body formed of resilient material; a base member having an attachment surface configured to be coupled to a surface of the door; and means for pivoting the body between a first position and a second position relative to the base member, the body in the first position being disposed between an edge of the door and a door jamb so as to block complete closure of the door at least when the attachment surface is coupled to the surface of the door, the body in the second position being disposed away from the edge of the door and the door jamb so as to allow complete closure of the door at least when the attachment surface is coupled to the surface of the door, the pivoting means having a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end, the proximal end of the pivoting means being operatively coupled to the base member, the distal end of the pivoting means being operatively coupled to the body; wherein the body is movable with respect to the distal end of the pivoting means about an axis extending parallel to a plane of the attachment surface, at least when the body is in the first position.
