the loop 114 at a predetermined orientation and extends to and connects to the generally vee shaped member 102 to permit the latter to be secured to its operative position relative to the door and the jamb dimensions and configuration of the arm 116 may be varied to accommodate different hinge locations and dimensions the loop 114 is dimensioned and configured to pass the shaft of a hinge pin such as the hinge pin 12 the loop will subsequently be entrapped between an enlarged head of the hinge pin and the rest of the hinge once the hinge pin is fully installed this holds the generally vee shaped member 102 in a position wherein the first panel 104 and the second panel 106 are operably positioned to cover the gap the gap protecting arrangement 10 may comprise a second fastener such as that having an arm 118 terminating at a second loop 120 thereby being able to engage the head of a hinge pin at a hinge not shown located below the hinge 6 as would apply to most doors which swing about vertical axes it will be seen that the arm 118 is shorter than the arm 116 this configuration is suitable where the arm 116 must span the length of the hinge itself whereas it is contemplated that the panel 112 may terminate just above the lower hinge the requirement for locating the lower loop 120 below the.
