A WASHER DOOR OR LID DEFINED BY A TEMPERED GLASS PANEL BORDERED BY AN OPEN FRAME-LIKE ENCAPSULATION OF ONE-PIECE INJECTION MOLDED POLYMERIC/COPOLYMERIC SYNTHETIC PLASTIC MATERIAL

摘要

A washer door or lid as defined by a tempered glass panel bordered by an open frame-like encapsulation of one-piece injection molded polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material. The latter material is preferably acrylonitrile/styrene/acrylate polymer blended with mica glass beads at a ratio of substantially 70%-30% to 90%-10% by weight, but preferably 80%-20% by weight. Further specifics of the washer lid include a relatively thick inner periphery of the encapsulation which securely grips and reinforces an outer peripheral edge of the tempered glass panel, a rigid outer peripheral skirt, an indiscrete handle, a reinforced hand corder for a switch actuator and opposite rear corners carrying hinges for securing the washer lid to an associated washer opening.
