Claim:
A door, frame and hinge assembly comprising; (a) a door having a main body and a hinge side including a convexly curved surface, (b) a frame having a hinge side defined by a cavity, (c) a hinge connecting the hinge side of the door to the hinge side of the frame through a hinge pivot point, wherein the convexly curved surface extends beyond a location of the hinge pivot point towards, and is located within, the cavity, so as to allow the door to open without a gap being created between the hinge side of the door and the frame that may cause finger-pinch injury, the hinge comprising one or more hinge members, the or each hinge member having a first movable wing and a second stationary wing, wherein: (i) the first movable wing has a planar body and is secured to a planar surface of the hinge side of the door which adjoins the convexly curved surface of the door so that it is substantially coplanar to a surface of the door that faces an external direction to which the door can be opened, and (ii) the second stationary wing has a planar body comprising a first free end portion which is secured to a planar surface of the hinge side of the frame, and a second end portion adjacent the hinge pivot point which defines a side wall of the cavity, the planar surface to which the first free end portion of the planar body of the stationary wing is secured to the frame being alongside the movable wing when the door is in a closed position.
