Definitions

• This present invention consists in installing means for preventing accidents in the closing of doors and windows.
• the previously manufactured doors and windows are designed in such a way as to prevent any prevention of finger pinch accidents between the door leaves and door frames, so that the fingers will be crushed due to accidental closing; children are often victims of these accidents.
• This present invention is to create spaces at the level of the frame
• spaces a, b, c and d and at the leaf level (spaces e and f), finger size in areas at high risk for children and at risk for adults.
• shock-absorbing materials rubber, sponges, elastomers or others.
• Figure 1 represents in front view of a residential door the location of spaces a, b, c, d, e and f.
• Figure 2 shows in horizontal section of a residential door closing on the left, the location of spaces a, b, c, d, e and f.
• Figure 3 represents in profile view the spaces a and c created at the frame on the handle side.
• Figure 4 shows in profile the spaces b and d created at the frame on the rabbet side.
• Figure 5 shows in profile view of the frame on the handle side, the arrangement of spaces a and c according to the second configuration including space i.
• Figure 6 represents in profile view of the frame on the rabbet side, the arrangement of the spaces b and d according to the second configuration including the space j-
• Figure 7 shows in horizontal section of a door the arrangement of spaces a, b, c and d according to the first configuration.
• Figure 8 shows in horizontal section of a door, the arrangement of spaces a, b, c, and d according to the second configuration including spaces i and j.
• Figure 9 shows in horizontal section of a door according to the third configuration, the arrangement of spaces has been created on the handle side and the arrangement of the spaces b and f on the rabbet side.
• Figure 10 represents a front view of a residential door, on the one hand the location and extent of areas at high risk for children (zone I on the rabbet and hinge side, zone II on the side handle) and on the other hand the location and extent of risk areas for adults zone III on the rabbet and hinge side, zone IV on the handle side.
• Figure 11 shows in front view of a window opening inwards
• Figure 12 represents in front view of a window opening inwards (hinges located inside) a provision of the spaces created only at the leaf level.
• Figure 13 shows an arrangement of the spaces created at the doors and windows of the vehicle.
• Space o space created by incomplete closing of the mobile window of vehicles.
• the creation and layout of the spaces are designed in three configurations:
• the first configuration the dangerous areas of pinching of the fingers in the doors are at the level of the door rabbet 1 where the area inside the hinge is the most dangerous.
• the long exposed rabbet combined with the enormous pressure exerted by the door when closing, is the cause of the most common finger jam accidents and the most serious injuries. This is done by creating the space b 8 (Fig 4 and Fig 2). It is a rectangular parallelepiped, of thickness corresponding to the diameter of the finger, of width corresponding to the depth of the rabbet and length corresponding to the extent of the targeted risk zone.
• hinge side although it represents only a smaller space than the rebate, the hinge side should be protected wherever it is easily accessible.
• space c 9 It is a rectangular parallelepiped identical to the space d 10 (FIG 2 and FIG 3) of thickness corresponding to the diameter of the finger, of width corresponding to the thickness of the leaf and of length corresponding to the extent of the targeted risk area.
• the spaces a 7 and c 9 are designed by including the interspace 12 between the two rectangular parallelepipeds 7 and 9 (FIGS.
• the spaces b 8 and d 10 are designed including the intersecting space 13 between the two rectangular parallelepipeds b 8 and d 10
• the space e 14 is created at the leaf, in the form of rectangular parallelepiped of thickness corresponding to the diameter of the finger, of width corresponding to the thickness of the leaf and length corresponding to the extent of the targeted risk area.
• creation of a rectangular parallelepiped shaped space 15 of thickness corresponding to the diameter of the finger, of width corresponding to the thickness of the leaf and length corresponding to the extent of the targeted risk area is created at the rabbet-side level 1: creation of the space b 8 (Fig. 9)
• the zones created for creating spaces for residential doors are:
• zones III 18 and IV 19 at risk only for adults the spaces created at these levels are parallelepipeds of thickness corresponding to the diameter of the fingers of adults.
• Rebid side 1 creation of spaces b 8 and space d 10 according to the first or the second configuration; or creating spaces b 8 and f 15 according to the third configuration.
• Handle side 3 - for the handles connecting two leaves, we create the space e 14 - for the handles connecting the leaf to the frame, creation of spaces a 7 and c 9 according to the first or the second configuration, or creation of spaces a 7 and e 14 according to the third configuration.
• the space m 26 is created at the level of the leaf or space n 27 at the level of the frame.
• the different spaces created are dressed by flexible and elastic bands in sponge, rubber, elastomer or other ...; solidly glued on the frame 5 or leaf 4.
• the size of the band corresponds to that of the space created in the form of an identical parallelepiped.
• the application of this invention at the level of the vehicles concerns two window shutters and doors:
• Windows the automatic closing system of the windows of vehicles is at the origin of very serious accidents of traumatisms of the fingers.
• the invention provides a radical solution to guaranteed result not dependent on any other parameter.
• the cladding of the spaces g, h, o created is achieved either at the level of the frame 23 of the window by extension to the free spaces of the existing device of strip in the frame of the window made of elastic material flexible and pressure-tight air; or for spaces g, o by adding, at the level of the window, an elastic and air-tight flexible band fixed by means of a rebate penetrated by the edge of the window.
• the band is composed of two parts, one of fixing comprising the rabbet penetrated by the glass, of sufficient depth to allow fixing; the other part is the body of the band, full with no rabbet and identical to the size of the space created o or g.
• Doors one proceeds by creating only the spaces 1 24 at the doors 25 (Fig. 13); or by combining both spaces h 20 at the frame 23 of the vehicle and spaces 1 24 at the doors 25.
• the choice of creation of spaces is done according to the architecture of the model of the vehicle.
• the bodywork of vehicles is made of sheet metal; the spaces 1 24 and h 20 created correspond to notches made at the level of the sheet of the door 25 or of its frame 23, in the form of a rectangle of small width corresponding to the diameter of the fingers of the child and of length corresponding to the extent of the area at risk.
• This strip is composed of two parts, one of fastening comprising a rebate penetrated by the edge of the sheet of the door 25 or the edge of the sheet of the frame 23; the other part is the body of the band intended to fill the spaces created h 20, 1 24.
• the body of the strip is solid with no rebate and the same size as the spaces to be filled h 20, 1 24.
• the rabbet of the band is deep enough to allow fixation.
• the fastening of the strip is obtained by mechanical retention thanks to the rabbet and by gluing.
