Abstract

A sectional door (10) includes a series of track-guided pivotal door panels (12,14,16,18), wherein at least one of the door panels (12) comprises severa l interlocked panel members (30,32,34). The panel members (30,32,34) are of various widths so they can be assembled in different combinations to create a door panel (12) of a desired total width. The panel members (30,32,34) can b e extrusions that are readily cut to length to match doorways of various width s. The ability to readily provide a panel in various widths and lengths makes such a door panel (12) particularly useful as a replacement panel whose size needs to match that of existing door panels. In some cases, one or more pane l members (30,32,34) can be transparent to create a door panel with an integra l window (86,88).

Claims (16)

1. A door panel attachable to an adjacent panel of a sectional door, the door panel comprising:
a first panel member adapted to be pivotally attached to the adjacent panel;
and a second panel member, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member define an interface therebetween, wherein movement between the first panel member and the second panel member at the interface is more restricted than movement between the first panel member and the adjacent panel.
2. The door panel of claim 1, wherein the interface is an interlocking connection between the first panel member and the second panel member.
3. The door panel of claim 2, wherein the interlocking connection comprises a first member that interlocks with a second member, wherein the first member and the first panel member comprise a first unitary piece and the second member and the second panel member comprising a second unitary piece.
4. The door panel of claim 1, wherein the first panel member is substantially fixed relative to the second panel member.
5. The door panel of claim 1, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member each have a length, width and thickness, with the first panel member and the second panel member being of different widths.
6. The door panel of claim 1, further comprising a third panel member coupled to the second panel member, wherein movement between the third panel member and the second panel member is more limited than movement between the first panel member and the adjacent panel of the sectional door
7. The door panel of claim 6, wherein the first panel member, the second panel member and the third panel member each have a unique width relative to each other.
8. The door panel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member defines a hollow interior.
9. The door panel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member defines an interior that contains a thermal insulating filler material.
10. The door panel of claim 1, wherein the first panel member is of a shape and a material that can be extruded.
11. The door panel of claim 1, further comprising a seal member adapted to engage the adjacent panel of the sectional door, wherein the first panel member defines a first slot and a second slot to provide alternate locations in which to selectively insert the seal member.
12. The door panel of claim 1, further comprising two end caps attached to opposite ends of the first panel member and the second panel member, wherein the end caps help hold the first panel member substantially fixed to the second panel member.
13. The door panel of claim 1, further comprising two rollers attached to the two end caps.
14. The door panel of claim 1, further comprising a hinge fastened to the first panel member and being adapted to fasten to the adjacent panel.
15. The door panel of claim 13, wherein the first panel member is made of plastic and the hinge is made of metal.
16. The door panel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member is transparent one of the first panel member and the second panel member is transparent.

18. The door panel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member is translucent.

19. A door panel attachable to an adjacent panel of a sectional door, the door panel comprising:
a first panel member adapted to be pivotally attached to the adjacent panel;
and a second panel member, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member define an interface therebetween that connects the first panel member to the second panel member, and wherein the first panel member and the second panel member each have a unique width relative to each other.

20. The door panel of claim 19, wherein the interface is an interlocking connection between the first panel member and the second panel member.

21. The door panel of claim 20, wherein the interlocking connection comprises a first member that interlocks with a second member, wherein the first member and the first panel member comprise a first unitary piece and the second member and the second panel member comprising a second unitary piece.

22. The door panel of claim 19, wherein the first panel member is substantially fixed relative to the second panel member.

23. The door panel of claim 19, further comprising a third panel member coupled to the second panel member, wherein movement between the third panel member and the second panel member is more limited than movement between the first panel member and the adjacent panel of the sectional door.

24. The door panel of claim 23, wherein the first panel member, the second panel member and the third panel member each have a unique width relative to each other.

25. The door panel of claim 19, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member defines a hollow interior.

26. The door panel of claim 19, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member defines an interior that contains a thermal insulating filler material.

27. The door panel of claim 19, wherein the first panel member is of a shape and a material that can be extruded.

28. The door panel of claim 19, further comprising a seal member adapted to engage the adjacent panel of the sectional door, wherein the first panel member defines a first slot and a second slot to provide alternate locations in which to selectively insert the seal member.

29. The door panel of claim 19, further comprising two end caps attached to opposite ends of the first panel member and the second panel member, wherein the end caps help hold the first panel member substantially fixed to the second panel member.

30. The door panel of claim 29, further comprising two rollers attached to the two end caps.

31. The door panel of claim 19, further comprising a hinge fastened to the first panel member and being adapted to fasten to the adjacent panel.

32. The door panel of claim 31, wherein the first panel member is made of plastic and the hinge is made of metal.

33. The door panel of claim 19, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member is transparent.

34. The door panel of claim 19, wherein only one of the first panel member and the second panel member is transparent.

35. The door panel of claim 19, wherein at least one of the first panel member and the second panel member is translucent.

36. A sectional door, comprising:
a first panel member;
an adjacent panel pivotally attached to the first panel member; and a second panel member, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member define an interlocking connection therebetween that connects the first panel member to the second panel member, wherein the first panel member is more free to move relative to the adjacent panel than to the second panel member.

37. A sectional door, comprising:
a first panel member;
an adjacent panel pivotally attached to the first panel member; and a second panel member, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member define an interlocking connection therebetween that connects the first panel member to the second panel member, wherein the first panel member and the second panel member each have a unique width relative to each other.
