Abstract
An improved door having a door nose and a door mounting component which attach to the door panel in a manner which minimizes fastener exposure on the outer surface of the door and reduces cost of assembly.
Claims17
A door assembly comprising:
- a door panel having first and second longitudinally-extending edges at opposite sides thereof;
- mounting means attached to said first longitudinally-extending edge for rotatably mounting said door panel to a door frame;
- a door edge member attached to said second longitudinally-extending edge of said panel;
- said door edge comprising a hollow straight tubular section having a split at a selected point, and first and second straight, parallel flanges formed integral with said hollow tubular section at said split;
- said door edge member being slidably assembled to said panel so that said hollow tubular section surrounds said second longitudinally-extending edge of said panel and said flanges extend along opposite sides of said panel away from said second longitudinally-extending edge;
- and
- a plurality of hollow-roll pins attached to said panel adjacent said second edge, said pins extending transversely within said hollow tubular section of said door edge member perpendicularly to said panel, said pins having a length which is substantially equal to the maximum internal dimension of said hollow tubular section in a plane extending at a right angle to the plane of said door panel so as to prevent movement of said door edge member in a lateral direction relative to said panel.

- said door edge member being slidably assembled to said panel so that said hollow tubular section surrounds said second longitudinally-extending edge of said panel and said flanges extend along opposite sides of said panel away from said second longitudinally-extending edge;
- a plurality of pins attached to said panel adjacent said second edge and extending transversely within said hollow tubular section of said door edge member;
- said hollow tubular section having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;
- and
- said pins having lengths substantially equal to the internal diameter of said hollow tubular section, so as to prevent movement of said door edge member in a lateral direction relative to said panel.

- and
- a plurality of pins attached to said panel adjacent said second edge and extending transversely within said hollow tubular section of said door edge member, said pins being positioned in holes in said door panel and sized so as to be movable axially in said holes, said pins having a length sufficient to prevent movement of said door edge member in a lateral direction relative to said panel.

- a plurality of pins attached to said panel adjacent said first edge and extending transversely within said hollow tubular section of said door edge member perpendicularly to said panel, said pins having a length sufficient to prevent movement of said door edge member in a lateral direction relative to said panel;
- and
- means for preventing longitudinal movement of said door edge member relative to said panel;
- said pivot post means protruding axially from the opposite ends of said hollow tubular section of said door edge member for rotatable attachment to a door frame.
