  • Patent number: 7429072
    Abstract: Accessory door assembly for the normally open sides of a recreational vehicle such as a golf cart. The door assembly includes a doorframe that can be secured to the vehicle, and a preferably rigid door that is easily mountable and demountable, and is movable between an open position and a closed position. The door can be secured to the vehicle in the open position so that the passengers have the option of riding in the vehicle while the door remains open. The door is contoured to match the contour of the vehicle, so that even when the door is stored in the open position, the vehicle remains aesthetically pleasing. A hinge system is utilized that minimizes the clearance necessary to open and close the door, and provides an optional assist feature that helps urge or bias the door to the open or closed position and maintain it there.
