Abstract:
A glass door construction set in a pre-existing frame includes glass door leaves made of two or more panes of glass, which define a top edge, a bottom edge, and two lateral edges. The top and bottom edges include a top and bottom rail, respectively, to enhance the structural integrity of the glass door leaves. The lateral edges, however, remain free of the typical perimeter framing required on current glass doors to meet the stringent impact standards. The glass door leaves each include handles on either side of the glass leaves that are interconnected to effectively create a structural equivalent of an I-beam. The handles provide the necessary structural rigidity along a vertical extent to meet impact standards.

Claim (Index 1):
A glass door system, comprising:\n a first glass door leaf defined by a top edge, bottom edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge, the first glass door leaf comprising at least two panes of glass; there being no visible framing along the first and second lateral edges; a top rail that engages the top edge and is adapted to enhance the structural integrity along a lateral extent of the glass door leaf; a bottom rail that engages the bottom edge and is adapted to enhance the structural integrity along the lateral extent of the first glass door leaf; a first handle extending generally from the top rail to the bottom rail proximate to the second lateral edge, wherein in the first handle further includes a locking mechanism disposed within the first handle, the locking mechanism including an actuator having a locked and an unlocked position, the locked position including at least a portion of the first handle mechanically engaging at least a header frame or a sill frame; and whereby the at least two panes of glass in combination with placing the locking mechanism in the locked position establishes an impact resistant glass door system.
