Door stile structure
View Patent ↗A door stile structure utilizing a pair of skins. An elongated member extends between at least a portion of the pair of skins. The elongated member includes an outer surface having a pair of ridges with a recessed portion therebetween. The ridges lie in a plane which intersects the edge of the door. The elongated member may lie flush with the edges of the skins forming the door or be imbedded within the skins to lock the elongated member into the door structure.
1. A door stile structure employed with first and second skins, comprising:
a. an elongated member extending between at least a portion of the first and second skins, said elongated member including an outer surface having a first ridge, a second ridge and a recessed portion between said first and second ridges, said outer surface of said elongated member selectively facing said first and second skins, said recess of said elongated member further including an intermediate surface extending between said first and second ridges, said intermediate surface being angularly oriented relative to said first ridge, said intermediate surface angular orientation relative to said first ridge substantially comprising a non-orthogonal angular orientation; and
b. fixing means for holding said elongated member between said first and second skins to form a door unit.
2. The structure of claim 1 in which said recessed portion includes at least one cavity and a glue layer between said first skin and said elongated member, said cavity being capable of holding at least a portion of said glue layer.
3. The structure of claim 2 in which said cavity lies on said intermediate surface.
4. A door stile structure employed with first and second skins, comprising:
a. a first elongated member extending between at least a portion of the first and second skins;
b. a second elongated member extending between at least a portion of the first and second skins, said second elongated member lying apart from said first elongated member and being separated from said first elongated member by at least a portion of said first and second skins; and
c. fixing means for holding said first and second elongated members between said first and second skins to form a door unit with an edge.
5. The structure of claim 4 in which said first and second elongated members each lie substantially parallel to said edge of said door unit.
6. A door stile structure employed with first and second skins, comprising:
a. an elongated member extending between at least a portion of the first and second skins, said elongated member including an outer surface having a first ridge, a second ridge and a recessed portion between said first and second ridges, said outer surface of said elongated member selectively facing said first and second skins, said recess of said elongated member further including an intermediate surface extending between said first and second ridges, said intermediate surface being angularly oriented relative to said second ridge, said intermediate surface angular orientation relative to said second ridge substantially comprising a non-orthogonal angular orientation; and
b. fixing means for holding said elongated member between said first and second skins to form a door unit.
