Door/doorglass assembly

Abstract

A door/doorglass assembly including a door, a doorglass and a cap. The door defines a doorglass opening and a slot aligned with the opening. The slot extends through the top edge of the door. The doorglass can be slid into the door through the slot and into alignment with the doorglass opening. The cap is secured in the top edge of the door to enclose the doorglass within the door.

1 . A door assembly including:
 a door having a top edge, the door defining a doorglass opening and a slot extending through said top edge and having a portion aligned with the doorglass opening;   a doorglass within the slot in the door, the doorglass aligned with the doorglass opening; and   a cap secured in the slot at the top edge to enclose the doorglass within the door.   
   
   
       2 . The door assembly of  claim 1  wherein the slot extends substantially the entire height of the door. 
   
   
       3 . The door assembly of  claim 1  wherein the door includes a weather-tight seal between the doorglass and the door. 
   
   
       4 . The door assembly of  claim 1  wherein the cap includes a plug engaging the doorglass and a pair of shoulders engaging the door. 
   
   
       5 . The door assembly of  claim 4  wherein the cap further includes a pair of fasteners extending through the shoulders and into the door. 
   
   
       6 . A door assembly comprising:
 a door having first and second sides and an edge, the door defining a doorglass opening extending through said first and second sides, the door further defining a slot extending through the edge and communicating with the doorglass opening;   a doorglass within the slot and aligned with the doorglass opening, the slot enabling the doorglass to be slid through the slot and into alignment with the doorglass opening; and   a closure within the slot to close the slot.   
   
   
       7 . The door assembly of  claim 6  wherein the edge is a top edge. 
   
   
       8 . The door assembly of  claim 6  wherein the slot extends substantially the entire height of the door. 
   
   
       9 . The door assembly of  claim 6  wherein the doorglass extends through a portion of the height of the door. 
   
   
       10 . The door assembly of  claim 6  wherein the doorglass opening is narrower than the slot when viewed through the first and second sides of the door, whereby the lateral edges of the doorglass are hidden within the slot. 
   
   
       11 . A door assembly comprising:
 a door defining a doorglass opening, the door including an edge, the door further defining a slot through said edge, the slot communicating with the doorglass opening; and   a doorglass within the slot and aligned with the doorglass opening, the doorglass being capable of sliding into alignment with the doorglass opening through the slot.   
   
   
       12 . A door assembly as defined in  claim 11  further comprising a closure secured within the slot. 
   
   
       13 . A door assembly as defined in  claim 11  wherein the edge is a top edge.
