A non-pinching hinge apparatus (10) having a constant radius hinge bulb (12) integrally connected to a door structure (14) with the hinge bulb (12) rotating about a hinge pivot (16) located at the center of the hinge bulb (12) when the door is operated, the hinge apparatus (10) including at least a single wiper (18) removably affixed to a door jamb structure (20) with the hinge bulb (12) passing the wiper (18) within a very close tolerance for eliminating pinch points and preventing the insertion of body parts into the hinge apparatus (10). A first alternative embodiment replaces the wiper constuction with a close fitting socket while a second alternative embodiment provides a spring loaded wiper for use with a non-constant radius hinge bulb having an eccentric surface.
