DOOR WITH FRAMELESS GLAZED UNIT, AND RELATED KIT AND METHODS
A door includes a door frame, first and second door skins having rectangular outer peripheries and inner openings, and a frameless glazed unit received at the openings. The door skins include exterior surfaces facing away from the door frame and opposite interior surfaces facing and secured to opposite sides of the door frame. The exterior and interior surfaces of the first and second door skins establish integral lips and grooves of the first and second door skins. Opposite sides of the frameless glazed unit directly contact and are sealed by the integral lips and sealant and/or adhesive contained in the grooves of the first and second door skins.
Hollow core door for preventing pressure build up having a prefabricated center panel and method of making the door
A hollow core door for preventing pressure build up in a room having a forced air system includes an outer stile and rail frame, an inside skin having an opening secured to the outer frame, an outer skin having an opening secured to the outer frame, and a core assembly, which may be prefabricated, including a core assembly frame, a center panel disposed within the core assembly frame, openings extending through the center panel adjacent to the core assembly frame, spacers adjacent to the core frame to space the core assembly apart from the inside and outside skins, and the core assembly is disposed within the outer frame, whereby air flows through the opening in the inside skin, along the center panel, through the openings in the center panel, along the center panel and outwardly through the opening in the outside skin in a non-linear manner to prevent pressure build up in a room in which the door is installed to comply with the Department of Energy maximum recommended pressure of three pascals or less. Different types of spacers are disclosed. A method for making the hollow core door is disclosed.
ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURE WITH LOW-PROFILE DOOR
An electronics cabinet includes an enclosure comprising a floor, a ceiling, a rear wall, and opposed side walls configured to form an internal cavity a door assembly attached to one of the side walls. The door assembly includes: a main door pivotally connected to the enclosure, the main door including a window, the main door being movable between a closed position and an ajar position; and a plurality of door panels, the door panels pivotally connected with each other, at least some of the door panels being pivotally and slidably attached to the main door, the door panels configured to move from an unfolded position, in which the door panels are generally coplanar and block access to the window, and a folded position, in which the door panels are generally parallel and non-coplanar. The main door and door panels are configured so that the door panels cannot move from the unfolded position to the folded position unless the main door is in the ajar position.
ARTICLES MADE FROM LIPOPHILIC-RICH CELLULOSIC MATERIAL AND METHODS THEREFOR
The invention relates to systems and techniques for manufacturing articles containing cellulosic material, a tackifier, and a binder, and related processes of making and using the cellulosic articles. In particularly exemplary embodiments, the manufactured articles are door skins, sometimes known as door facings, and doors made from the door skins. The article contains a lipophilic cellulosic material, a tackifier, and a binder.
Automated door assembly system and method
The present invention is directed to a method of making a door having first and second door facings and an internal doorframe. An interior side of a first facing is coated with quick acting adhesive. A frame is placed on the coated interior side about the periphery of the first facing. The frame is then coated with quick acting adhesive. An interior side of a second facing is placed on the coated frame. The facings and frame assembly are then compressed to form a door. The present invention also provides for an automated system of making the door.
Gypsum composites used in fire resistant building components
A composite product includes gypsum in an amount of 60 to 90% by weight, fibers in an amount of 1.5 to 26% by weight substantially homogeneously distributed through the composite, and a rheology-modifying agent in an amount of 0.5 to 6% by weight. The composite is caused or allowed to cure to form a cured composite. The cured composite is a fire resistant component used in a fire-rated door core, a fire-rated door or a fire-rated building panel. The fire resistant component may include a building panel, a door panel, a door core, a door rail, a door stile, a door lock block, a door border, or a door insert.
Door assembly
A door assembly and a frame member for a door assembly. The door assembly may include at least one door panel and a door frame having a plurality of frame members including a header and a pair of side jambs. The invention may also be considered a frame member including a storage compartment. The frame member may include a core; and a top piece adjoining the core to form a structural member. The core and the top piece may be a composite of cellulosic material and at least one other material. The top piece may be a two-piece top piece and may include hollow cavities. Also disclosed are door jamb frame members and mullion frame members.
REFRIGERATOR DOOR
A refrigerator door includes a color module which displays various colors by using LEDs. Accordingly, when a consumer desires to change the color of the refrigerator door, the color of the refrigerator door can be changed to color desired by the consumer.
NEGATIVE POISSON`S RATIO MATERIALS FOR DOORS AND WINDOWS
A door includes a rectangular panel having a first face, a second face, and two pairs of opposing edges, in which the edges of each pair of edges are parallel and in which a first pair of edges is longer than a second pair of edges. The rectangular panel includes a layered composite material, in which a first layer of the composite material has a positive Poisson's ratio (PPR) and a second layer of the composite material is disposed in contact with the first layer and that includes a material having a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR). The door includes a hinge including plates joined together by a joint, in which a first one of the plates is attached to a first one of the edges of the first pair of edges and in which a second one of the plates extends beyond the first one of the edges. The door also includes a handle opening defined through a thickness of the rectangular panel.
Door with frameless glazed unit, and related kit and methods
A door includes a door frame, first and second door skins having rectangular outer peripheries and inner openings, and a frameless glazed unit received at the openings. The door skins include exterior surfaces facing away from the door frame and opposite interior surfaces facing and secured to opposite sides of the door frame. The exterior and interior surfaces of the first and second door skins establish integral lips and grooves of the first and second door skins Opposite sides of the frameless glazed unit directly contact and are sealed by the integral lips and sealant and/or adhesive contained in the grooves of the first and second door skins.
