Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with improvements relating to doors, particularly but not exclusively to doors used in the provision of lockers as may be used to provide personally accessible storage, frequently found in changing rooms of sporting facilities, or in schools and colleges.
  • a door comprising a panel of sheet metal, one side edge margin of the panel having been formed to provide a hollow cylindrical formation to receive a hinge pin.
  • the door may be provided with two formations, spaced to enable them to be engaged by two spaced hinge pins, but preferably the formation is elongate to receive hinge pins at opposite ends in the mounting of the door on a door frame member. In this manner, a hinge formation may be provided conveniently, with a pleasing appearance.
  • the formation is afforded by a metal rolling operation, preferably involving the coiling of an edge margin of the door.
  • the door is produced by a method involving carrying out a forming operation on a double thickness of metal, e.g. on a portion spaced from the edges of the panel, said portion first being formed to afford a lip, the lip then being rolled to afford said hollow cylindrical formation.
  • a door comprising a body member providing a body frame of the door and a first face panel, and an infill member adapted to be located within the body frame and providing a second face panel located in spaced relationship to the first face panel.
  • both the body member and the infill member are formed from single sheets of metal.
  • the infill member is formed to provided inwardly-turned lips extending alongside edge margins of the second face panel and at least one inwardly-directed re-entrant formation extending parallel to said edge margins and providing limited spring capability of the infill panel in a transverse direction, ensuring a tight fit of the lips against the body frame.
  • more than one such re-entrant formation may be provided.
  • the body member is formed to provide an unbroken face panel, the body frame being afforded as members of channel cross-section extending around said face panel.
  • the door in accordance with the second aspect of this invention is also provided with a hinge formation in accordance with the first aspect of this invention.
  • a locker assembly comprising a locker body defining a door frame, and a door hingedly mounted on the door frame, the door being in accordance with the first aspect of this invention and/or the second aspect of this invention.
  • the locker which is the preferred embodiment of the invention is of the kind typically found in changing rooms of sporting facilities, comprising a locker body 10, providing an interior cavity in which the possessions of a user of the locker may be located, and a door 12 hingedly mounted on the locker body, and which may be secured such as by the use of a key to protect items located within the locker.
  • the locker body comprises a door frame 14, to which upper and lower hinge pins 16 are located, conveniently by a blind rivetting operation.
  • Mounted on the hinges 16 is a door, particularly illustrative of the invention.
  • the door comprises a body member 18 formed from a single sheet of metal to provide for peripheral frame members in the form of channels, 20 a 20 b , 20 c , 20 d , and a central face panel 22.
  • a hinge formation 24 being in the form of an elongate cylindrical formation, formed by a rolling operation and being of double thickness (see Figure 3).
  • the hinge formation 24 may be located on the upper and lower hinge pins 16, allowing for convenient pivotal mounting of the door between open and closed position within the door frame members 14.
  • the door also comprises an infill member 30, similarly formed from a single sheet of metal, formed to provide inwardly-extending lips 32 a , 32 b extending along opposite side edge margins, and a generally central inwardly-directed re-entrant formation 34 extending centrally between the lips 32 a and 32 b
  • the infill member 30 thus provides a second face panel of the door, afforded by faces 36 a and 36 b on either side of the central fold-line 38 provided in the provision of the re-entrant formation 34.
  • the limited spring capability of the infill member in the transverse direction is provided, enabling the infill panel to be fitted tightly within the frame members 20 a , 20 b , 20 c and 20 d of the body member of the door, holding the infill member in position whilst it is permanently secured by (conveniently) a spot welding operation.
  • the formation 34 engages the face panel 22, providing for a relatively robust construction.
  • the infill member 30 is provided on the interior side of the door, presenting to the exterior the continuous front face 22, although of course if desired this may be reversed.
