Definitions
- This invention relates generally to an inwardly swinging door and more specifically to an inwardly swinging door that is constructed using a multi-point lock, weatherstripping in one plane and a pressure equalization member to provide for an improved weatherproof door.
- Most doors utilize a single point lock.
- a single point lock When a single point lock is utilized, the door is cooperatively connected to the frame of the door only by means of the hinges and the single point lock.
- the hinges are typically multi-point and connect the door to the frame at the top, middle and bottom of the door.
- the multi-point connection helps in the preventing of bowing and hence leakage along the section that is open.
- bowing of the top and bottom of the door itself is more prevalent.
- multi-point locks have been utilized for doors. However, these locks have most often been incorporated into doors for increased security.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,548,342 discloses such a lock and is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the prior art doors have been of a "sweep type" design. That is, the weatherstripping on the bottom of the door extended downward and generally came in contact with the threshold. Still further, no pressure equalization chambers were utilized to aid in the prevention of water seeping through the door. Such pressure equalization chambers are in existence for windows. However, the windows are generally outwardly swinging and also the designer of windows is not concerned with stepping up and over threshold as is the designer of doors.
- the National Wood Window and Door Association is developing a standard for wood swinging patio doors. As part of the standard with respect to air infiltration, the Association requires that the unit shall be tested for- air- leakage in accordance with the latest revision of ASTM E-2 ' 83 ' "Standard test method for air leakage through exterior windows, curtain, walls and doors.” Air infiltration shall not exceed 0.34 cubic feet per minute, per square foot overall area when tested at a uniform static air pressure difference of 1.56 pounds per square feet.
- the water penetration resistance in test standard is that the unit shall be tested for water penetration resistance in accordance with ASTM E-547 "Standard test method for penetration of exterior windows, curtain walls and doors by cyclic air pressure differential.” The unit shall be tested under a static pressure difference of 2.86 PSF.
- the present invention is able to well surpass these standards and in fact air infiltration does not exceed 0.20 cubic feet per minute and the water penetration can be tested under a static air pressure difference of up to 6.24 PSF.
- the present invention will take a 60 PSF positive/negative load using ASTM E-330 with no breakage or unit failure after loads are removed. Residual deflection is less than 0.4% of its span.
- the present invention addresses the problems associated with prior art and provides for an improved door having increased air infiltration, water penetration and structural characteristics.
- the present invention provides for an inwardly swinging door assembly for mounting into a building frame.
- the door assembly includes a door member having a top edge surface, bottom edge surface and first and second side edge surfaces.
- the assembly is provided with means for hingedly mounting the door member to the frame.
- the mounting means is proximate one of the first and second sides.
- a multi-point lock is mounted proximate the other of the first and second sides, whereby the frame is engaged by the lock at more than one point.
- Weatherstripping is cooperatively connected to the top edge surface, bottom edge surface and first and second side edge surfaces.
- a pressure equalization member is cooperatively connected to the frame for engaging the weatherstrip connected to the bottom edge surface.
- Fig. 1 is a front plan view of the door assembly embodying the present invention.
- Fig. 2a is a cross sectional area of the door assembly of Fig. 1, taken generally along the line Fig. 2a-2a.
- Fig. 2b is a cross sectional view of the assembly of Fig. 1, taken generally along the lines 2b-2b.
- Fig. 2c is a cross sectional view of the assembly of Fig. 1, taken generally along the lines 2c-2c.

- Fig. 3b is a cross sectional view of the assembly of Fig. 1, taken generally along the lines 3b-3b.
- Fig. 3c is a cross sectional view of the assembly of Fig. 1, taken generally along the lines 3c-3c.
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged partial front plan view of a corner of the door member showing the joining of the weatherstrips.
- the door assembly 10 is mounted in a frame 11. As shown in Fig. 1, the frame 11 is sized to receive not only the inwardly swinging door assembly 10 but also a stationary panel member, generally designated as 12. However, it is understood that the door assembly 10 may be mounted alone in a smaller frame or alternately,- the frame may be larger to accommodate a plurality of stationary panel members 12.. Still further, the position of the door assembly 10 may be varied within the frame 11. For example, where the frame 11 is sized sufficiently to accommodate two stationary panels and a door assembly 10, the door assembly 10 may be on either ends or in the center.
- the stationary panel member 12 which is optional to the present invention, may be of any suitable type well known in the industry.
- the panel member 12 includes a double pane window assembly 12a which consists of an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel cooperatively connected together and mounted to a first side rail 12b, second side rail 12c, top rail 12d and bottom rail 12e. Moldings 13 are cooperatively connected and in turn fastened into the side rails 12b-e by means of nails 14.
- the molding cooperatively connected to the first side rail 12b is fastened to the portion of the frame 11, as shown in Fig. 2b.
- the molding 13 cooperatively connected to the second side rail 12c is fastened by means of the nail 14 into the center support member 15.

- the sill member 16 comprises a wooden portion 16a cooperatively connected to a metal portion 16b to form the sill 16.
- a threshold 16c is cooperatively connected to the top of the sill 16.
- the center support member 15 extends between the sill member 16 and the top horizontal member of the frame 11.
- a first side jamb assembly 17 is cooperatively connected adjacent the first side rail 12b and extends between the frame 11 and sill 16.
- the first side jamb assembly 17 includes a first member 17a cooperatively connected to a second member 17b which forms the outer surface of the door opening.
- the second member 17b has a C-shaped section 17c which is adapted to receive an optional sliding screen door.
- Suitable weather stripping 18 is utilized between the first siderail 12b and the second member 17b of the first jamb assembly 17.
- a first astragal assembly 19 is cooperatively connected to the center support member 15 and extends between the horizontal upper member of the frame 11 and the sill 16.
- the astragal assembly 19 includes a first member 19a which is cooperatively connected to the center support member 15 and has a generally planar bottom member which extends beyond the edges of the center support member 15. The ends of the planar bottom 19b are angled slightly upward.
- the first member also has two upwardly extending members 19c which have a top portion which extends generally outward.
- the second member 19d of the astragal assembly 19 has a configuration, shown in cross section in Fig. 2a, which is symmetrical on both sides of the center support member 15.
- the second member 19d engages the outwardly extending portion of the upwardly extending member 19c and also the stationary panel 12.
- Suitable weatherstripping 20 may be utilized to weatherproof the stationary panel 12. While the above- described construction of the stationary panel 12 is preferred, it is understood that any suitably constructed stationary panel 12 may be utilized.
- the inwardly swinging door assembly 10 includes a door member 10a comprising a double pane assembly 21 mounted in a door panel 22.
- the door panel 22 has a first side rail 22a, second side rail 22b, top rail 22c, and bottom rail 22d, all cooperatively connected by means well known in the art to form the door panel.
- Suitable molding strips 23 may be utilized, where appropriate, around the double pane assembly 21.
- the construction of a door member 20, as described so far, is well known in the art.
- the first side rail 22a has an edge surface 24.
- the second rail 22b has an edge surface 25.
- the top rail 22c has a top edge surface 26 and the bottom rail 22d has a bottom edge surface 27.
- none .of the edge surfaces 24 through 27 are planar. However, the designations for the edge surfaces generally designate the edges of the door member 20. However, as will be discussed more fully hereafter, the edge surfaces have cutouts to accommodate weatherstripping.
- Three hinges 28 are cooperatively connected to the center support member 15 and the door member 20, proximate the edge surface 24 by means well known in the art.
- the door assembly 10 is hinge ly mounted for swinging inward into a building.
- the door assembly 10 also includes a multi-point closing and locking latch assembly generally designated as 29.
- the locking assembly 29, as shown, includes three separate locking sub assemblies 30, 31 and 32.
- the locking sub assemblies are interconnected by means of an espagnolette bar 33. Rotation of the handle 34 will cause the locking assembly 29 to move between a latched and unlatched position. Rotation of the handle 34 causes all three sub assemblies to move between the latched and unlatched position.
- Locking assemblies 29 are well-known in the art, but to date have essentially been used for improved security.
- the multi-point locking assembly 29, with the three locking sub assemblies 30 through 32 provide for increased protection against a forced entry.
- such a locking assembly 29 also has significant advantages with respect to the weather integrity of the door. By latching the door at 30 and 32 as well as at 31, the door is secured along three points. This will prevent bowing of the door at the top and bottom as well as maintain the integrity of the weatherseal proximate the locking sub assemblies 30 through 32.
- Such a latch assembly is described in U.S. Patent No.
- the weatherstripping generally designated as 36, as will be described more fully hereafter, is cooperatively connected to the edge surfaces 24 through 27 on the door member 20.
- the weatherstripping 36 comprises four sections 36a through d and are carried entirely by the door member 20 and further are in one plane. Still further, the sections are cooperatively connected at the intersections to form one continuous weatherstrip around the door.
- the weatherstripping 36 can be seen in detail in Figs. 2a, 2c, 3a and 3c.
- the first edge surface 24 has a notched area in which the weatherstrip 36a is fastened.
