Abstract

A frame assembly for a door light is formed with inner and outer half-frames sandwiching a translucent panel. The half-frames are separately and similarly formed of sheet material, each with a plurality of substantially similar side members defining a closed polygon. Each side member includes, in cross-section, a flat portion for supporting the frame in an opening in a support, a face portion extending from the flat portion towards the center of the polygon, a third portion extending inwardly from the face portion toward the other half-frame and to a position adjacent the translucent panel, a fourth portion extending from the third portion parallel to the face portion and away from the center of the polygon, and a fifth portion extending inwardly from the fourth portion toward the other half-frame and about a peripheral edge of the translucent panel. Fasteners couple the half-frames and secure the half-frames in the support opening. Each half-frame is formed from an elongated strip of sheet material which is bent along fold lines extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip to form the various portions and then bent at an intermediate mitered notch to form a corner. The ends of the strip are also mitered to form a mitered frame corner.
