Abstract
Composite door systems that are configured for providing safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats (natural and man-caused), and which can be utilized in barrier structures, such as for doors. The composite door systems may include one or more layers, each of which may have one or more fiber layers, such as fabric layers or plastic layers. The composite door systems may further include one or more additional layers of a sheet material, a fill material, or the like. The composite door systems are infinitely customizable and configured to be adapted to a variety of applications, and scalable levels of protection.
Claims20
A composite door system for a building, the system comprising:
- a shell having a front face, a rear face, a first side, a second side, a top side, and a bottom side;
- a pre-fabricated composite core, comprising:
- a fill material, wherein the fill material provides sound abatement;
- one or more support members;
- and
- one or more support member couplings for operatively coupling the one or more support members to the fill material, wherein the one or more support member couplings at least comprise support member adhesive between the one or more support members and fill material;
- wherein the one or more support members are at least partially located within the fill material to provide structural support to reinforce the pre-fabricated composite core;
- one or more core couplings that operatively couple the pre-fabricated composite core to the shell, wherein the one or more core couplings at least comprise core adhesive between the front face or rear face and the pre-fabricated core;
- wherein the pre-fabricated composite core is formed before being assembled to the shell with the one or more core couplings.
A pre-fabricated composite core, the pre-fabricated composite core comprising:
- a fill material, wherein the fill material provides sound abatement;
- one or more support members;
- and
- one or more support member couplings for operatively coupling the one or more support members to the fill material, wherein the one or more support member couplings at least comprise support member adhesive between the one or more support members and fill material;
- wherein the one or more support members are at least partially located within the fill material to provide structural support to reinforce the pre-fabricated composite core;
- wherein the pre-fabricated composite core is configured to be assembled to a shell of a composite door system after being formed through one or more core couplings, wherein the shell comprises a front face, a rear face, a first side, a second side, a top side, and a bottom side, and wherein the one or more core couplings at least comprise core adhesive between the front face or rear face and the pre-fabricated core.
A method of forming a composite door system, the method comprising:
- forming at least a portion of a shell;
- assembling a pre-fabricated composite core, wherein the pre-fabricated composite core comprises:
- a fill material, wherein the fill material provides sound abatement;
- one or more support members;
- and
- one or more support member couplings for operatively coupling the one or more support members to the fill material, wherein the one or more support member couplings at least comprise support member adhesive between the one or more support members and fill material;
- wherein the one or more support members are at least partially located within the fill material to provide structural support to reinforce the pre-fabricated composite core;
- and
- assembling the pre-fabricated composite core to the shell using one or more core couplings, wherein the shell comprises a front face, a rear face, a first side, a second side, a top side, and a bottom side, and wherein the one or more core couplings at least comprise core adhesive between the front face or rear face and the pre-fabricated core.
