Container assembly mountable to a door

A combination door and container assembly comprising:

• a hollow core door having a first door skin and a second door skin opposite the first door skin and defining a first space having a thickness between the first and second door skins, the hollow core door defining an opening therethrough that extends through the first and second door skins.
• a spacing member positioned within the first space to maintain the thickness of the first space consistent across the hollow core door,
• a container having a side wall defining and circumscribing a container interior, the container sized to pass through the opening defined through the door,
• a first frame extending from and about the side wall and defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening,
• a second frame defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening and an inner terminal portion sized and configured to extend over at least a portion of the opening about a periphery of the opening,
• at least a first fixation member to secure the first frame to the second frame with the container extending into the opening and with a portion of the door adjacent to the opening positioned between the outer terminal portions of the first and second frames to clamp the container assembly to the door about the opening, and
• at least one support member sized to be received within the first space at least partially about the opening, the at least one support member to maintain the thickness of the first space constant adjacent to and along the opening with the at least a first fixation member securing the first frame to the second frame, the at least one support member comprising a spacing member displacement portion configured to displace the spacing member from the first space adjacent to the opening defined through the door as the at least one support member is received within the first space.

A combination door and container assembly comprising:

• a hollow core door having a first door skin and a second door skin opposite the first door skin and defining a first space having a thickness between the first and second door skins, the hollow core door defining an opening therethrough that extends through the first and second door skins,
• a container having a side wall defining and circumscribing a container interior, the container sized to pass through the opening defined through the door,
• a first frame extending from and about the side wall and defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening,
• a second frame defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening and an inner terminal portion sized and configured to extend over at least a portion of the opening about a periphery of the opening,
• at least a first fixation member to secure the first frame to the second frame with the container extending into the opening and with a portion of the door adjacent to the opening positioned between the outer terminal portions of the first and second frames to clamp the container assembly to the door about the opening, and
• at least one support member sized to be received within the first space at least partially about the opening, the at least one support member to maintain the thickness of the first space constant adjacent to and along the opening with the at least a first fixation member securing the first frame to the second frame, wherein the at least one support member is affixed to inner surfaces of the first and second door skins before the opening is defined through the door, the at least one support member positioned relative to the first and second door skins such that the at least one support member extends at least partially about, at or near, the opening when the opening is defined through the door.

A combination door and container assembly comprising:

• a hollow core door having a first door skin and a second door skin opposite the first door skin and defining a first space having a thickness between the first and second door skins, the hollow core door defining an opening therethrough that extends through the first and second door skins,
• a container having a side wall defining and circumscribing a container interior, the container sized to pass through the opening defined through the door, the side wall defining a front face and a rear face, and a rear panel attached to or integral with the rear face of the side wall,
• a first frame extending from and about the side wall and defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening,
• a second frame defining an outer terminal portion sized and configured to abut the door about the opening and an inner terminal portion sized and configured to extend over at least a portion of the opening about a periphery of the opening,
• at least a first fixation member to secure the first frame to the second frame with the container extending into the opening and with a portion of the door adjacent to the opening positioned between the outer terminal portions of the first and second frames to clamp the container assembly to the door about the opening,
• at least one support member sized to be received within the first space at least partially about the opening, the at least one support member to maintain the thickness of the first space constant adjacent to and along the opening with the at least a first fixation member securing the first frame to the second frame, and
• an outer panel defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface of the outer panel facing the rear panel of the container, the inner terminal portion of the second frame positioned between the first surface of the outer panel and the rear face of the container to define a second space therebetween.
