Description
A CLIP FOR SECURING A DOOR
PANEL TO A DOOR SASH OR FRAME
This invention relates to a clip for securing a multi-ply door panel to a door sash or door frame and to a door having at least one panel secured to the sash or frame by a plurality of said clips.
The sash forms the framework structure of the openable part of the door and the frame is the fixed part surrounding the openable part of the door.
Nowadays, doors, particularly exterior doors, have a sash and/or frame and one or more panels secured in openings in the door sash or frame. The door sash is typically formed of UPVC, aluminium or timber and the or each panel is typically a multi-ply panel comprising two outer layers or plies each comprising a foam panel and plastics skin and an inner core of plywood sandwiched between the two outer layers or plies. In some cases, the inner plywood core is faced on one side with an aluminium sheet to improve security.
It is known to secure the panel to the door sash or panel such as by beads.
However, it is relatively simple to remove the panel from the door sash or frame such as by applying a force to the panel, thereby enabling access through the opening left by the removed panel. Naturally this creates a security hazard.
The present invention seeks to provide an improved clip for securing a multi- ply door panel to a door sash or frame.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a clip for securing a multi-ply panel to a door sash or frame, the clip comprising a channel- shaped portion for receiving and gripping one or more internal plies of the door panel and having two parallel or substantially parallel limbs and an arm extending away from one side of the channel-shaped portion for securing the clip to the door sash or frame.
Preferably, the clip is pressed from metal plate and the arm is formed from an intermediate part of one of said limbs.
Preferably, said one limb has two outer parts on opposite sides respectively of an opening created by the formation of said arm, each outer part having at least one tooth for gripping an internal ply of the door panel. In this case, each outer part of said one limb may have two teeth, one adjacent to each of two opposite edges of the respective outer part.
Advantageously, the teeth are barb-shaped.
Preferably, the teeth extend into the channel defined by the channelshaped portion and are inclined towards the closed end of the channel to bite into the internal ply of the door panel and resist removal of the clip from the door panel.
Preferably, the arm has a securing part extending perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly away from one side of the channel-shaped portion and a cranked part between the channel-shaped portion and the securing part to offset the securing part from the closed end of the channel-shaped portion. The securing part may have two apertures for receiving fastening elements for securing the securing part to the door sash or frame.
According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a door having a sash or frame and at least one multi-ply door panel secured to the sash or frame by a plurality of clips according to the first aspect of the invention.
Preferably, the door is an exterior door and the arm is secured to the sash or frame on the interior side of the door.
The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a clip according to the first aspect of the invention, and Figure 2 is a sectional view through part of a door showing the clip of Figure 1 connected between a multi-ply door panel and a sash or frame of the door.
Referring firstly to Figure 2 of the drawings, the door 10 shown therein comprises a sash or frame (hereinafter referred to for convenience as a sash) 11 and a multi-ply panel 12 secured to the sash by a plurality of clips 20, only one of which is shown. A gasket 13 is provided between the panel 12 and the sash 11. The sash is typically formed of UPVC, aluminium or timber.
The panel 12 typically comprises an inner core made up of a 6 mm thick plywood sheet 14 faced on one side with a I mm thick aluminium sheet 15 and two outer layers each made up of a foam panel 16 and an outer plastics skin 17.
Referring now more particularly to Figure 1 of the drawings, each clip 20 is pressed from metal plate, typically 1 mm thick sprung steel plate, and comprises a channel-shaped portion 21 and an arm 22 and extending from one side of the channel shaped portion 21. The channel-shaped portion 21 receives and grips the inner core 14, 15 of the multi-ply door panel 12 as shown in Figure 2, and the arm 22 secures the clip 20 to the sash 11 of the door 10, also as shown in Figure 2.
The channel-shaped portion 21 has two parallel or substantially parallel limbs 23, 24 and a web 25 at the closed end of the channel-shaped portion 21. The limb 23 is a continuous plate-like limb and the limb 24 has two outer parts 24_ and 24b on opposite sides respectively of an opening created by forming the arm 22 by a punching and pressing operation from an intermediate part of the limb 24.
Each outer part 24a, 24b has at least one and, as shown, two teeth 26 for gripping the plywood sheet 14 of the inner core of the door panel 12. The teeth 26 are barb-shaped and the two teeth of each outer part 24_, 24_, one adjacent each of two opposite edges of the respective outer part, extend into the channel 27 defined by the channel-shaped portion 20 via recesses 28. The teeth 26 are inclined towards the closed end or web 25 of the channel-shaped portion 21 to bite into the plywood sheet 14 of the door panel and resist removal of the clip 20 from the door panel 12.
The arm 22 has a securing part 28 extending perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to the limbs 23 and 24 and a cranked part 29 between the channel shaped portion 21 and the securing part 28 to offset the securing part 28 from the closed end or web 25 of the channel- shaped portion 21. This is to bridge any gap between the panel 12 and the sash 11.
The securing part 28 of the arm 22 has two (or more) apertures 30 for receiving screw threaded fasteners 19 which secure the clip 20 to the sash 11 of the door 10.
Typically, the panel 12 is connected to the sash 11 of the door by eight clips 20, two adjacent to each corner of the panel 12.
The clips 20 are tapped onto the inner core 14, 15 of the door after the fabrication of the panel 12. The teeth 26 bite into the plywood sheet 14 and the foam panel 16 is torn away locally as the clips 20 are tapped in.
The channel-shaped portion 21 may have two or more holes extending there through for receiving pins or other fasteners to better secure the clip to the panel.
For exterior doors the panels 12 are ideally secured by the screw threaded fasteners 19 to the sash 11 on the interior of the door so as not to be accessible externally. If the panels 12 have to be secured to the sash 11 on the exterior of the door, security fasteners (not shown) are used. The fasteners, whether on the interior or exterior of the door, are then covered by beading.
Clips as described above improve security.
The above embodiment is given by way of example only and various modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
