Abstract

A door structure with glass at least comprising a front panel, a rear panel, an inner hollowed-frame assembly, a glass mounted assembly and at least one glass, wherein the front panel and the rear panel are configured with a plurality of positioning protrusions at inner sides for assembling the inner hollowed-frame assembly inside the door structure with glass without using screws; the structure may render the inner hollowed-frame assembly able to support and assemble the glass mounted assembly and the glass with rigidity.

Claims

1. A door structure, comprising:

two identical panels, constituting a front panel and a rear panel of a door respectively, and each panel configured with a hollow portion, a first protrusion inwardly extended from a perimeter of the hollow portion, and a plurality of positioning protrusions formed around the hollow portion and spaced out a distance apart from the first protrusion;

two identical vertical stiles, constituting a left stile and a right stile—

of the door respectively;

two identical horizontal rails, constituting a top rail and a bottom rail of the door respectively,

an inner hollowed-frame assembly, comprising at least three inner frame modules and at least three connector pieces, wherein each inner frame module is an elongated body having an elongated locating wall coupled with the first protrusion of the front panel or the rear panel and each inner frame module further has an outer contour fixed in between the positioning protrusions of the front panel and the rear panel;

two reinforcing materials, assembled among the vertical stiles, horizontal rails and the inner hollowed-frame assembly respectively;

a glass mounted assembly, assembled to the inner hollowed-frame assembly;

at least one piece of glass, mounted to the glass mounted assembly; and

at least three glass stops, each coupled with the glass mounted assembly to seal and fix the glass having been mounted at the glass mounted assembly.

2. The door structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the material of the front panel, the rear panel, the vertical stiles, the horizontal rails, the inner hollowed-frame assembly, the reinforcing materials, the glass mounted assembly or the glass stops is metal, wood, or plastic.

3. The door structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein both sides of the front panel and the rear panel are configured into L-shaped tenon plates, and wherein sides of the vertical stiles that contact with the front panel and the rear panel are configured with vertical grooves, respectively, for the L-shaped tenon plate of the front panel and the L-shaped tenon plate of the rear panel to engage and lock, respectively.

4. The door structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein each inner frame module has a mortise configured at each end thereof, and each connector piece is configured with a first tenon connected with the mortise of one of the inner frame modules and a second tenon connected with the mortise of another neighboring inner frame module by a mortise and tenon joint.

5. The door structure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the angle between the first tenon and the second tenon of the connector piece is of 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees or 150 degrees.

6. The door structure as claimed in claim 5, wherein each inner frame module further has a groove formed along the elongated body of the inner frame module, the glass mounted assembly comprises at least three edge-sealing frame modules each has a mounting portion for the glass mounted therein and a hook rib portion joined into a corresponding groove of the inner frame module.

7. The door structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the edge-sealing frame module further comprises a mortise portion, and each glass stop is configured with a tenon portion coupled with the mortise portion of the edge-sealing frame module.

8. The door structure as claimed in claim 4, wherein each inner frame module further has a groove formed along the elongated body of the inner frame module, the glass mounted assembly comprises at least three edge-sealing frame modules each has a mounting portion for the glass mounted therein and a hook rib portion joined into a corresponding groove of the inner frame module.

9. The door structure as claimed in claim 8, wherein the edge-sealing frame module further comprises a mortise portion, and each glass stop is configured with a tenon portion coupled with the mortise portion of the edge-sealing frame module.
