INTERCHANGEABLE DOOR
First Claim
1. An interchangeable door system (IDS) having a central axis and at least two different opening configurations defined by corresponding different locations of said central axis, the system comprising:
- a wall formed with a wall opening having a circumferential rim, said wall having a surface pre-formed with at least a first and a second surface-port, the first and second surface-ports being located along said circumferential rim at locations spaced apart from one another along a direction transverse to said central axis;
a door having an outer contour corresponding in shape and dimensions to said opening and being adapted for revolving about said central axis, thereby opening and closing said wall opening, said door being pre-formed with at least a first and a second door-port, the door-ports being located along said outer contour at locations corresponding to the locations of said first and second surface-ports; and
an interchangeable door arrangement (IDA) adapted to provide selective engagement between each door-port and its corresponding surface-port, forming an engaged port-pair whose location defines the location of the central axis, to thereby bring said central axis into a location of the engaged port-pair, so as to allow said door to operate in said different configurations.

Abstract
An interchangeable door system (IDS) having a central axis and at least two different opening configurations defined by corresponding different locations of the central axis. The system comprises a wall formed with a wall opening having a circumferential rim and a surface pre-formed with at least a first and a second surface-port. The first and second surface-ports are located along the circumferential rim at locations spaced apart from one another along a direction transverse to the central axis. The system further comprises a door having an outer contour corresponding in shape and dimensions to the opening and being adapted for revolving about the central axis, thereby opening and closing the wall opening. The door is pre-formed with at least a first and a second door-port, the door-ports being located along the outer contour at locations corresponding to the locations of the first and second surface-ports. The system also comprises an interchangeable door arrangement (IDA) adapted to provide selective engagement between each door-port and its corresponding surface-port, forming an engaged port-pair whose location defines the location of the central axis, to thereby bring the central axis into a location of the engaged port-pair, so as to allow the door to operate in the different configurations.

19. An interchangeable door system (IDS) having two parallel central axes and two different opening configurations corresponding to said two central axes, the system comprising:
-
i. a wall formed with a wall opening having a circumferential rim, said wall having a surface pre-formed with at least a first and a second surface-port, the first and second surface-ports being located along said circumferential rim at locations opposite one another along a direction perpendicular to said central axes; ii. a door having an outer contour corresponding in shape and dimensions to said opening and being adapted for revolving about both said central axes, thereby opening and closing said wall opening, said door being pre-formed with at least a first and a second door-port, the door-ports being located along said outer contour at locations corresponding to the locations of said first and second surface-ports; and iii. an interchangeable door arrangement (IDA) comprising a first hinge arm connecting said first surface-port with said second door-port and a second hinge arm connecting said second surface-port with said first door-port, so as to allow said door to operate in said different configurations.
