A cab for a vehicle, such as an all terrain vehicle, a tractor, or small construction vehicle, is constructed of twin-sheet plastic panels that can be easily assembled, preferably with snap-together interlocking features. One of the panels can be a door panel having a door hinged to a door frame to control passage through a doorway. Both the door and the door frame have spaced apart hinge knuckles that interleave along a hinge axis to allow the door to pivot about a hinge pin. The door and door frame can be molded in a single twin-sheet panel. The two walls of the panel are fused together along the outer periphery of the panel door portion and the inner periphery of the panel door frame portion. The door is separated from the door frame by cutting the each of the walls along a door perimeter between the door and door frame portions of the molded panel. Preferably, the walls are not fused along the non-hinge sides of the door perimeter so that the walls can be cut in a manner to provide an overlap at the door / door frame interface.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the bolster may be integral with the main body portion.

The present invention provides a cooling system, which is referred to herein as a slider vent, for dwellings or residences that have a sliding patio door or the like. In an embodiment of the invention, the slider vent occupies approximately six (6) inches of the sliding door track and uses two centrifugal fans to exhaust hot interior air within the dwelling directly to the exterior of the residence and draws in cooler exterior air from outside the dwelling via an adjacent open window. The electrical components within the unit are enclosed by an inner housing for consumer safety and to protect them from the elements, and ventilation flows through an assemblage of moveable shutters that remain closed when the fans are not in operation. The unit is powered by a household power source via a plug connected at the bottom of the unit on the interior side. The unit also has a variable speed control to adjust air flow, located in the center of the unit, also on the interior side. For security purposes, the slider vent locks into the door frame in the same fashion as the sliding patio door, and also allows the sliding door to lock into the unit's frame to create a solid barrier to prevent unwanted entry or intrusion. The unit may also include a weather strip that produces a tight seal between itself and the sliding door and prevents the outside elements from penetrating through the crack. The unit may also include insulation to produce a tight seal when the fans are not in use to prevent the loss of air through the system while not in operation.

A vehicle door has a supportive frame (10). A waist rail (14) and a side impact guard beam (22) are formed integrally with the supportive frame. The entire frame is made of high strength sheet steel. The door is produced by hot stamping a steel sheet blank into the shape of a supportive door frame that includes an integral waist rail (14) and a side impact guard beam (22), and hardening the shaped door frame while the frame remains in the shaping tools, and fastening an outer panel (31) to the finished door such that the side collision guard beam (22) of the frame will lie close to the outer panel (31).

The present invention teaches that a tightly woven, and strong layer of fiberglass may be coated or impregnated with sodium silicate in order to produce a strong and fire resistant jamb / frame. The present invention further teaches that a fire doorjamb core may be mass produced from fire resistant layers and the frame core rated for fire safety by a rating agency, thus allowing builders and door manufacturers to produce building structures and doors using that core without individually certifying each model of door or structure. The present invention further teaches a structure / method of mounting for door frames which closely parallels mounting of normal door frames, without special brackets or plates.

A frame member miter guide or brace has first and second legs configured for insertion and engagement with adjoining frame members at a mitered joint, the miter guide having a stop with stop edges which accurately position intersecting walls of the frame members for precise alignment of the mitered joint. Stop edges of the stop correspond with the correct positions of the frame members, so that the members are held in place for final attachment and installation. Positive engagement of edges of the frame member walls with the stop edges insures highly accurate orientation of the mitered joint. A fracture line for welded installation of the frame members, and a leg profile which minimizes damage in handling and installation is also described.
