A washer door or lid as defined by a tempered glass panel bordered by an open frame-like encapsulation of one-piece injection molded polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material. The latter material is preferably acrylonitrile/styrene/acrylate polymer blended with mica glass beads at a ratio of substantially 70%-30% to 90%-10% by weight, but preferably 80%-20% by weight. Further specifics of the washer lid include a relatively thick inner periphery of the encapsulation which securely grips and reinforces an outer peripheral edge of the tempered glass panel, a rigid outer peripheral skirt, an indiscrete handle, a reinforced hand corder for a switch actuator and opposite rear corners carrying hinges for securing the washer lid to an associated washer opening.

What is claimed is: 1. A door comprising a tempered glass panel of a redetermined peripheral configuration defined by a substantially continuous peripheral edge, said panel further including opposite inner and outer surfaces bridged by said peripheral edge, a peripheral portion of said glass panel
What is claimed is: 1. A door comprising a tempered glass panel of a redetermined peripheral configuration defined by a substantially continuous peripheral edge, said panel further including opposite inner and outer surfaces bridged by said peripheral edge, a peripheral portion of said glass panel being defined by said peripheral edge and immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, an open frame encapsulation of one-piece injection molded polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material, said open frame encapsulation including an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion, said frame inner peripheral portion entirely encapsulating said glass panel peripheral portion including said peripheral edge and said immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, said frame encapsulation further including inner and outer surfaces defining therebetween respective inner and outer surface configurations of the frame encapsulation and the wall thicknesses thereof, said frame outer peripheral portion defining a depending peripheral skirt opening in a direction away from an annular top wall of said frame encapsulation, a switch actuator supported against said top wall, and fastener means for securing said switch actuator against said top wall. 2. The door as defined in claim 1 wherein said annular top wall includes means for reinforcing said annular top wall at said switch actuator. 3. The door as defined in claim 2 wherein said reinforcing means are a plurality of ribs. 4. The door as defined in claim 2 wherein said reinforcing means are a plurality of substantially parallel spaced ribs. 5. The door as defined in claim 1 wherein said reinforcing means are a plurality of ribs against which rests said switch actuator. 6. The door as defined in claim 5 wherein said fastener means include at least one fastener passed through an opening of said depending peripheral skirt. 7. The door as defined in claim 1 wherein said fastener means include at least one fastener passed through an opening of said depending peripheral skirt. 8. The door as defined in claim 1 wherein said fastener means include at least one fastener passed through an opening of said depending peripheral skirt and secured to said switch actuator. 9. A door/lid for an appliance comprising a tempered glass panel of a predetermined peripheral configuration defined by a substantially continuous peripheral edge, said panel further including opposite inner and outer surfaces bridged by said peripheral edge, a peripheral portion of said glass panel being defined by said peripheral edge and immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, an open frame formed at least in part as a one-piece molded encapsulation of polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material, said open frame including an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion, said open frame inner peripheral portion entirely encapsulating said glass panel peripheral portion including said peripheral edge and said immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, and means at said frame outer peripheral portion for hinging said door to an associated appliance, and said frame further including a means for actuating a switch of an appliance with which said appliance door/lid is adapted to be associated. 10. The appliance door/lid as defined in claim 9 wherein said open frame is constructed entirely as a one-piece injection molded encapsulation. 11. A door/lid for an appliance comprising a tempered glass panel of a predetermined peripheral configuration defined by a substantially continuous peripheral edge, said panel further including opposite inner and outer surfaces bridged by said peripheral edge, a peripheral portion of said glass panel being defined by said peripheral edge and immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, an open frame formed at least in part as a one-piece molded encapsulation of polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material, said open frame including an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion, said open frame inner peripheral portion entirely encapsulating said glass panel peripheral portion including said peripheral edge and said immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, said open frame further including inner and outer surfaces defining therebetween respective inner and outer surfaces configurations of the frame encapsulation and wall thicknesses thereof, means at one side of said frame for pivotally securing said door/lid to an appliance, and means at another side of said frame for providing a finger gripping portion of said door/lid to facilitate gripping thereof when said door/lid is associated with an appliance, and further including a means for actuating a switch of an appliance with which said appliance door/lid is adapted to be associated. 12. The appliance door/lid as defined in claim 11 wherein said open frame is constructed entirely as a one-piece injection molded encapsulation. 13. A door/lid for an appliance comprising a tempered glass panel of a predetermined peripheral configuration defined by a substantially continuous peripheral edge, said panel further including opposite inner and outer surfaces bridged by said peripheral edge, a peripheral portion of said glass panel being defined by said peripheral edge and immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, an open frame formed at least in part as a one-piece molded encapsulation of polymeric/copolymeric synthetic plastic material, said open frame including an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion, said open frame inner peripheral portion entirely encapsulating said glass panel peripheral portion including said peripheral edge and said immediately adjacent surface portions of said opposite inner and outer surfaces, and said frame includes means fro defining a hand grip area for facilitating opening and closing of the appliance door/lid, said frame further including a means for actuating a switch of an appliance with which said appliance door/lid is adapted to be associated. 14. The appliance door/lid as defined in claim 13 wherein said open frame is constructed entirely as a one-piece injection molded encapsulating.
