Hollow core door apparatus for preventing the build up of pressure in a room having a register through which air flows into the room and the door includes an inside door skin and an outside door skin, and the door skins includes openings through which air flows and a center panel between the skins and spaced part from the skins. The center panel has an outer perimeter greater than the inner perimeter of the openings. The center panel is spaced apart from the skins, and also from the adjacent stiles and rails. A chamber is formed about the panel and between the adjacent stiles and rails and the openings in the skins. Air flow from the room is through the opening in the inside skin into the chamber, around the outer periphery of the panel, and outwardly through the opening in the outside skin in a non-linear manner.

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. The frame member may include a core; and a two-piece 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 door assembly may further include at least one adjacent panel. Also disclosed are door jamb frame members and mullion frame members.

The present disclosure is directed to molded door skins and methods of making. Methods include providing an at least partially consolidated flat wood composite blank. Methods further include positioning a stretchable film on an outer surface of the blank, and pressing the blank and the stretchable film together in a heated press to form the molded door skin. The molded door skin has a first surface and a second surface recessed relative to the first surface by a predetermined distance. A third planar portion extends between first and second planar portions at an angle in a range of 100 degrees and 120 degrees. Cracks or voids formed in the outer surface of the blank during the pressing are filled with the stretchable film such that an outer surface of the molded door skin is substantially or entirely crack and void free.

Hollow core door apparatus for preventing the build up of pressure in a room having a register through which air flows into the room and the door includes an inside door skin and an outer door skin, and the door skins includes openings through which air flows and panels disposed in the openings to define the amount of air flowing through the openings in the skins. The door also includes at least a single fixed panel and a movable panel, both of which panels include openings through which air flows when the openings in the panels are aligned and which air flow is restricted when the openings are misaligned. The inside and outside panels have peripheral openings defined between the openings in the skins and the panels disposed in the openings and which peripheral openings define areas at least as great as the area of the openings in the fixed and movable panels, and the openings in the fixed and movable panels are offset from the peripheral openings to provide for a non-linear flow of air through the door to prevent the build up of pressure in the room and to restrict the non-linear air flow through the door when the openings in the fixed and movable panels are misaligned. An embodiment combining a noxious gas absorbent material with the pressure build up prevention capability is also illustrated.

The invention relates to a public sanitary device (1), comprising a housing with walk-in positions (20, 30), each with a receptacle (21, 31) for human excrement and/or urine. The housing is provided with a first housing part (11) intended for placing underground, a second housing part (12) received movably in the first housing part and a third housing part (13) received movably in the second housing part. The sanitary device comprises a drive for moving the second and third housing parts between an underground rest position and an above-ground position of use. At least one of the walk-in positions is provided with a door for closing the walk-in position. The door comprises at least a first and a second door segment (41, 42), which door segments are movable in longitudinal direction relative to each other. The second housing part (12) comprises the first door segment (41) and the third housing part (13) comprises the second door segment (42).

A door panel comprising a body having front and rear door skins delimiting an interior for sandwiching filling material, an interlock provided with the body and configured to lock the front and rear skins and thereby prevent displacement of the front and rear skins along at least two transverse directions, and a reinforcement member provided between the front and rear door skins and extending transversely to the interlock for providing reinforcement to the body.

A door skin is provided that includes at least one inner panel, an outer body portion surrounding the at least one inner panel, and at least one contoured portion surrounding the at least one panel and interconnecting the at least one panel to the outer body portion. The at least one contoured portion is recessed from the at least one panel and the outer body portion and includes a center base portion that interconnects with the outer body portion via a first sloping portion and with the panel via a second sloping portion. The first sloping portion includes a first angled portion and a first bump. The second sloping portion includes second and third bumps.

Provided is a cabinet door-system and a locking mechanism therefore.

This invention relates to doors having internal blocking components that reduce or eliminate telegraphing of the outer surface of the door facings. In particular, the invention relates to steel-edge steel doors that have internal solid wood blocks that have one or more integral cantilever beams formed into the blocks to interact with the adjoined oppositely arranged door facings in order to eliminate visually apparent door telegraphing. The blocks are modified to contain notches formed therein to form the cantilever beams.
