Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to a door which is resistant to hostile environments, such as corrosive chemicals, high humidity, etc., and includes a one-piece stile and rail fiberglass and resin reinforced collar, the collar being of an inwardly opening generally U-shaped configuration, the U-shaped collar being defined by a bight portion and opposite faces, and a fiberglass resin reinforced plate secured to the exterior of each of the faces. In keeping with the method of this invention the collar is internally reinforced, afterwards it is sandwiched between the plates, the three components are then bonded to each other, each plate is trimmed to the peripheral outline of the collar, and the trimmed edges of the plates are then coated with a polyester resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A method of making a door comprising the steps of providing a one-piece, integral, continuous, relatively thin walled stile and rail collar of a generally rectangular exterior outline formed of a completely cured admixture of unfoamed polymeric resin and reinforcing material resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments of an inwardly opening generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration formed by a bight and opposite spaced generally parallel faces with interior and exterior surfaces thereof being devoid of exteriorly exposed reinforcing material; providing a pair of plates with each plate being of a generally rectangular outline as defined by terminal edges corresponding in size and shape to the rectangular outline of the collar and being formed of a completely cured admixture of polymeric resin and reinforcing materials resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments with an outer surface of each plate being devoid of exteriorly exposed reinforcing material; sandwiching the collar between the plates with all exterior surfaces of the collar and plates facing outwardly, utilizing a polymeric resin bonding material which is resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments for bonding the collar and plates together, and creating a generally flush relationship between the terminal edges of the plates and the collar bight exterior surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
203 words
A method of making a door comprising the steps of providing a one-piece, integral, continuous, relatively thin walled stile and rail collar of a generally rectangular exterior outline formed of a completely cured admixture of unfoamed polymeric resin and reinforcing material resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments of an inwardly opening generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration formed by a bight and opposite spaced generally parallel faces with interior and exterior surfaces thereof being devoid of exteriorly exposed reinforcing material; providing a pair of plates with each plate being of a generally rectangular outline as defined by terminal edges corresponding in size and shape to the rectangular outline of the collar and being formed of a completely cured admixture of polymeric resin and reinforcing materials resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments with an outer surface of each plate being devoid of exteriorly exposed reinforcing material; sandwiching the collar between the plates with all exterior surfaces of the collar and plates facing outwardly, utilizing a polymeric resin bonding material which is resistant to corrosive and/or high humidity environments for bonding the collar and plates together, and creating a generally flush relationship between the terminal edges of the plates and the collar bight exterior surface.
