s claims. (c1. iss-46) I am aware that formed metal doors. or tubularsteeldoorsastheyarebetterknowntothe trade, are old in the art. but the same as previously manufactured. have been expensive and have required much leveling after assembly due to the fact that a satisfactory method of construction had not been perfected. The joints formed at the junctures of the stile and rail members required excessive welding and grinding in order to present a neat and iinished appearance.
The principal object of the present invention is the provision of means which gauge the laying together of stile and rail members with accuracy by semi-skilled workmen, and which present ush surfaces after being laid together and welded, thereby eliminating excess leveling and grinding.
A second object of the invention is the provision of a formed metal door having stiles, rails, and paneIsJn which the framework comprising the stiles and rails are completely assembled, after which metal panels or sash are welded therein. Y A
A third object of the invention is the provision of a, formed metal door comprising stiles and rails assembled integrally leaving openings therein,
and with either metal panels or pre-assembled sash members being tted into the openings formed by the stile and rail members.
Further objects of the invention are the pro^ vision of a formed metal door which is easily and accurately assembled from pre-formed members, which is rigid, which is economical to manufacture, and which has high nre-resistant value.
vOther objects and advantages of the invention will suggest themselves in the course of the following description, and that which is new will be pointed out in the appended claims.
'Ihe most satisfactory means for carrying out the principles of the invention in a practical and eiilcient manner is shown in the accompanying two sheets of drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational detail of a metal door embodying the principles of the invention.
Figure 2 is a detail vertical section through the upper edge of the door as taken on 1ine2-2 of Figure 1.`
Figure 3 is a detail section through one of the stile members taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1 and showing the method of securing pre-assembled sash members thereinto.
Figure 4 is a detail section through a muntin bar assembly taken on line 4 4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 fs a detail section taken on line 5-5 .of Figure 1 showing the method of securing a metal panel in the door.
Figure 6 is a detail vertical section through the intermediate rail member taken on line 6 8 of Figure 1.
- Figure 7 is a detail vertical section through the lower edge vof the door showing the construction thereof as taken on line 1-1 of Figure 1.
Figure 8 is a detail section through the juncture of stile and rail members taken on lines 8-8' of Figure 1, showing the means for gauging the rail members with relation to the stile members at the juncture thereof.
Figure 9 is a detail section through the panel member similarto Figure 5 but showing amodiiied form, the same showing means providing fire-resistant material in the panel.
Like characters designate like parts throughout the several views.
In order that the construction and the advantages of the invention may be more fully understood and appreciated, I will now take up a detailed description thereof,.in which I will set forth the same as fully and as comprehensively as I may. Y
In the drawings, numeral I designates formed stile members, the same being formed tubular in shape with companion flanges 2 and 3 being formed by the edges thereof, and with said iianges being welded or otherwise suitably secured together. 'I'he top rail is composed of the tubular-shaped member 4 having anges 5 and 6 formed thereon and secured together, and with the iianges 5 and 6 being coped to iit between the anges 2 and 3 of the stiles I.
The center or intermediate rail is formed of the two channel- shaped members 1 and 8 with L iianges 9 being formed on the member 'I and iianges I Il being .formed on the member 8. Fianges 9 and 10 are coped to iit between iianges 2 and 3 of members I, and are welded together and to iianges 2 and 3 at the junctures thereof.
The bottom rail of the door is formed of the member I I which has companion iianges I2 and I3 formed thereon and which are secured together, and with the flanges I2 and I3 being coped at their ends to t between fianges 2 and 3 of the sinles I.
In assembling the stile and rail members, angie members I4 and I5. are welded onto the stile members I in the manner shown more clearly in Figure 8, and with outstanding legs I4' and I5' respectively being formed thereon. The angles I4 and I5 are made ofsuch size as to form spac- 2 s l assaaoa ing means lfor the members I, 1, and il. and to permit the outer faces thereof to finish flush with the faces of the stile members I.y The spacing angle members M and Il also form inner supports to the ends of the members l, 1, and Il. It
. 1s obvious to those skilled in the art that the members il and Il provide a simplified and ac- I' is welded or otherwise suitably secured therethrough. The panel may be formed of -a single sheet of metal as shown in Figures 5, -6, and '1, or the same may be insulated by the addition of insulating material I1 set' between the flanges o f members I; 1, and-fil, and held therein bymeans. of .a second metal panel I8, all as shown in` Fl 9. A When it is desired to provide glazed panels in the door,\a sash composed4 of frame angles i! are assembled before insertion in the door. T-shaped muntin bars 2l are provided to divide the opening formed by the frame angles Il into a plurality of smaller spaces. 'I'he muntins 2l are coped together at their juncturesl and the ends thereof` are copedto fit the frame'angle I9, with the entire assembly being welded together. Glazin'gfangles 2| are provided as staying means for the glass panels 22. 'The glazing angles 2i are removably secured to' the-respective members I! and `2|I'by means of threaded screws 23. After the sash members are assembled, the assembly is inserted inthe opening formed by members 2, I, and I with one leg of the frame angle i! being set against the respective flanges 2. I, and il. It is preferable to have the leg of the frame angle to project above the adjacent flanges in order that the sash assembly may be secured into the door by welding as shown at 24. The weld 2l is preferably continuous around the sash assembly to provide weathertightvjoints. Additional welds 2l secure the outstanding legs of the members I! to the respective stile and rail members as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, and 6. Welds 25 may be either continuous or intermittent.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that a door formed as above described is light in weight, is easy of assembly, and may be of any desired design as to arrangement of both panel and glass divisoriav It is also obvious that ure door is substantially built and is `suitable forA use in industrial buildings where doors are sub,
ject to extremely hard usage. `It is also to be 60 the stiles, and with the second leg of the spacing pointed out that the door has high nre-resistant value, there being no combustible materials in the construction thereof. v
It is to be understood that I am not -to be limited to the exact arrangement of the members as shown, but that minor .changes may be made therein insofar as the changes may fall within the scope ofthe appended claims.
Having now fully shown and described the in;v
vention, what .I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent ofthe United States, is: Y
1. In formed metal doors. the combination of stileand rail members, each having inwardly- 6 extending companion flanges formed thereon with the companion flanges of each of the stile and rail members being in secured contacting relation,l spacing members bearing against the inwardly-extending. companion flanges and se- 10 cured to the stile members at the junctures of the rail-members therewith. l
2. Informed metal doors, the combination of stile and rail members, each-having inwardlyextending companion flanges formed thereon vl5 with the companion flanges of each stile and rail member being in secured contacting relation, l
spacing members secured to the stile members and bearing against the inwardly-extending companion flanges' thereof at the junctures of the stile and rail members and with saidmembers forming xed means spacing the faces of the rail members in flush relation` with the adjacent surfaces of the stile members.
3. In a formed metal door,- a pair of stile members, each having 'inwardly-extending companion flanges kformed integrally. therewith with the 'companion flanges being in secured contact- `ing relation, rail members extending between the stile members with integralv inwardly-extending into the vdoor against the inwardly-extending companion flanges of the stile and rail members and secured therethrough.
4. A formed metal Idoor composed of stiles and 40 rails, inwardly-extending companion flanges formed on each of the stiles and rails with the companion flanges being in secured contacting relation, spacing angles having one leg thereof secured to the stile members and bearing against the inwardly-extending flanges thereof. at the junctures 'of the stile and rail members, and with' the second leg of the spacing angles extending inwardly and providing support to the inner side of the rails and spacing the face portions of the ends of the rails in flush relation with the adjacent surface of the stile members.
5. A formed metal door composed of stiles and rails, inwardly-extending companion flanges formed on the inner edge of each of the stiles and rails with the companion flanges being in secured contacting relation. spacing angles, each having one leg thereof secured iofthe inner surface of the stiles at the juncture of the stiles and rails-and with the edge of the secured leg bearing against the companion flanges formed on angle extending inwardly from the respective stile and forming aninner support to the respective end of a rail m'ember and providing means polation with the adjacent surfaces of the adjacent stile member.
