Caravan door, hinge member therefor, method of assembling of said door and caravan comprising a door surround

摘要

The invention is concerned with a caravan door of the kind comprising a frame, constituted by a peripheral frame member (6) and front and rear facing panels (10,11) enclosing an interior cavity. Hinge members (16) are mounted on the frame member (6) with portions (18) thereof extending through slots (14) in the frame member into the interior cavity (13). Connected to and extending between said portions (18) is a cross member (20). The hinge members (16) are urged into tight abutting engagement with the frame member (6) by bracing means in the form of spacer members (24) acting between the interior of the framework (6) and the cross member (20). Inter-engagement between foam material filling the cavity (13) with the portions (18) and the cross member (20) restrains movement of the hinge members relative to the door as a whole, whereby the longitudinal axis of the hinge members (16) are retained in a desired alignment.;Advantageously the caravan comprises a door surround providing the opening, which provides one or more lip portions (54) which are inclined to the plane of the opening (4) in a manner such as to present a sloping surface to the door on closing movement thereof.
