Abstract: A method of forming polymer door skins using a low viscosity, shelf stable homogeneous thermosetting reinforced polymer material. The polymer material includes a thermosetting curable polymer, a particulate filler, mica platelets, staple fibers, and hollow microspheres. The reinforced resin door skins of the present invention are formed at relatively low pressures which decreases costs by allowing the use of aluminum rather than steel tooling. The door skins, when assembled on a frame with an insulative core provides a molded, reinforced plastic door having a superior wood grain surface appearance, superior thermal characteristics and lower manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A shield connector for shielded cable includes inner and outer plates having an intermediate plate interposed therebetween. The inner and intermediate plates have penetration projections thereon for penetrating a sheath positioned therebetween when the plates are clamped together. The outer plate is constructed of spring metal and is resiliently deformed when all of the plates are clamped together by a fastener device.
