ABSTRACT:
My invention provides a safety device for bureau drawers, cabinet doors and the like to prevent the accidental injury to fingers. At least one movable stile is provided around at least one opening in the face frame of a container, such as a bureau or cabinet, into which a closure member, such as a drawer or door, is inserted. The stile is pivotally attached to the stationary face frame so that the movable stile will swing into the container opening when pushed. This movement prevents fingers from being jammed between the closure member and the face frame when the closure member is slammed shut. A spring will return the stile to its closed position when the force is removed. In such a manner, the container remains closed, but offers protection against the accidental trapping of the user's fingers.
