ABSTRACT:
A pinch-proof garage door for protecting human fingers from being pinched is disclosed. The garage door includes a plurality of horizontally-aligned garage door panels. Each garage door panel has a top male portion and a bottom female portion. Top male and bottom female portions of adjacent garage door panels cooperate with each other in such a manner so as to minimize a gap therebetween, thereby protecting human fingers from being pinched by both the inside and the outside of the garage door. Each garage door panel is securely fastened to a structural member which supports the weight of the panel. Adjacent structural members are vertically aligned with one another and are coupled together by a hinge pin and hinge leaf. Each structural member cooperates with an adjacent hinge leaf so as to prevent human fingers from being pinched by the inside of the garage door.
