ABSTRACT:
A frame-and-clip assembly utilized in the installation of a door frame to a compartment used for storage, baggage or the like, such as found in a recreational vehicle or other shell-like camper housing, although adaptable to compartments in other housings as well. The frame member includes first and second legs extending in opposite directions but joined by a spacer member between them, and a notch located in the corner region of the first leg and the spacer member. The second leg is adapted to engage the outer wall surface of a wall section forming the exterior boundary of the compartment. The clip gripping member comprises generally an upright member mounted on a base and extending over the length of the first leg, a barb on the base for attaching to the notch and a flange and lip for wrapping around the distal end of the first leg. A thinner cross-section in the base, adjacent the gripping member, facilitates the assembly. Either a hook or an extension is integrally formed with the base for either frictionally engaging an interior wall surface or physically attaching such as by stapling to a different wall section forming the compartment, respectively. The frame member is fabricated from a rigid material, such as an aluminum extrusion, while the clip is fabricated from rigid yet flexible material such as vinyl plastic. Means are provided in the first leg of the frame member to mount a weather seal ribbon and to utilize a screw for retaining mitered sections of the frame member together in another alternative embodiment of the invention.
