Background of the invention

There are currently various devices of protection oriented to prevent finger entrapment during the closing of folding enclosures and the approach of the end hinged enclosure, whether door, window or similar, against the amount of the frame in which said hinge is hinged enclosure.

A known anti-trapping device It consists of a sheet of semi-rigid plastic embedded in some aluminum profiles glued or fixed to the frame and to the enclosure in the closing zone This device has the disadvantage that it is expensive, about 30 euros / unit and that the plastic is part frequently due to fatigue suffered during successive openings and closing of the door. Another drawback of This type of device is that the adhered fixation of the aluminum profiles are insufficient being precise, so that do not peel off, make a molding or recess in the wood of the enclosure and frame being these marked definitively. This device is also unsightly and needs different sizes and types to adapt to different types of enclosures and degrees of opening of the enclosure.

Another known and used protective device to avoid entrapment of the fingers comprises a series of swing plates that are fixed to the frame and the enclosure, by adhesive, which requires installation and the appearance of marks in the enclosure and in the frame, especially when these are of wood.

Another drawback of this device is that the sheets or swing plates are split with the use and that they need devices of different sizes and types to adapt to different enclosures.

Another solution to avoid entrapment of fingers consists of directly using a swinging leaf door incorporating said device, as contemplated in the utility model application 200500995, where the leaf door swing comprises a vertical cylinder that constitutes the axis of Turn the door leaf when opening and closing. This solution is applicable in newly installed doors but not applicable in The existing doors.

Description of the invention

The anti-trapping device for folding enclosures object of this invention presents some constructive features aimed at protecting the fingers of accidental injuries when maneuvering with a hinged enclosure anyone in which the enclosure is hinged by a end in an upright of a support frame of said enclosure. This device comprises a cylindrical element of material flexible arranged longitudinally on the said area of closure and elastic fasteners that relate to the cylindrical element with support means and that press the mentioned cylindrical element against the opposite ends of the frame and enclosure, said cylindrical element covering the area of closing of the enclosure.

The clamping of the cylindrical element against the closure zone by means of elastic elements allows said cylindrical element moves laterally engaging the area closing and covering it as the opening or closing is done of the enclosure. In accordance with the invention the support means of the elastic elements can be constituted by the own ones enclosure hinges, located on the side of the enclosure opposite to the closure zone covered by the cylindrical element, or either by a second cylindrical element arranged in the face or side of the hinge carrier enclosure and opposite to the mentioned closing zone.

In an embodiment of the invention the element cylindrical flexible material has a decorative cover exterior with different motifs or designs.

The features of this device anti-trapping provide a number of advantages among which It should be noted that it is easy to install, leaves no traces or causes any deterioration in the enclosure or in the frame, which is of a resistant material, which adapts to different degrees and angles of opening of the enclosure and that can be placed and removed without alter any of its components.

It is also worth mentioning that due to its simplicity The manufacturing cost is very low, resulting in affordable for all types of users.
