Door with glass insert and method for assembling the same

摘要

A door comprising first and second door skins secured to each other to form a cavity therebetween filled with expended foam. Each of the door skins has an opening therethrough for receiving a glass insert and a flange portion. Distal ends of the flange portions of the first and second door skins engage each other in an overlapping relationship by the expansion pressure of the expanded foam. The door further comprises a glazing rim member having a leg portion snap-locked between the flange portions of the first and second door skins. The method for assembling the door comprises the steps of filling the cavity between the door skins with foam material, then inserting the glass insert through the openings in the door skins and mounting the glazing rim member to the first door skin by snap-locking between the flange portions of the first and second door skins.

主权项

1. A door, comprising:
a first door skin having a first planar portion formed with a first opening for receiving a glass insert, said first opening being defined by a first flange extending inward from said first planar portion and a lip portion extending from where said first flange meets said first planar portion and substantially parallel to said first planar portion to contact a first major surface of said glass insert; a second door skin opposite to said first door skin to form a cavity therebetween and having a second planar portion formed with a second opening for receiving said glass insert, said second opening defined by a second flange extending into said cavity from said second planar portion to engage said first flange; a glazing rim member having a leg portion disposed on a surface of said second flange with and a lip portion extending substantially parallel to said second planar portion of said second door skin and having at least one flexible sealant fin extending from the lip portion to apply a contact pressure to a second major surface of said glass insert; and a core material disposed in the cavity between said first and second door skins, wherein the core material is in contact with the first and second flanges and deflects the second flange to force the first and second flanges together.
