ADJUSTABLE DOOR SWEEP Filed May 22, 1964 Sam 6. Squires 30 IN VEN TOR MWWEM United States Patent 3,250,040 7 ADJUSTABLE DOOR SWEEP Sam G. Squires, Boyd Aluminum Manufacturing Co., P.0. Box 1565, 85. Station, Springfield, Mo. Filed May 22, 1964, Ser. No. 369,484 3 Claims. (Cl. 49-482) This invention relates, broadly construed, to storm doors and flexible weather stripping means for the bottom part of a door and wherein said means functions, as is usual, to span and seal an objectionable air gap between the underneath side of said bottompart and the top surface of the sill or threshold, and pertains, more particularly, to a significantly improved sweep-type weather strip.
Storm door manufactures and installers provide means, as is generally well known, to cope with their installation problems, one of which is to make sure that the ever-varying gap or opening between the door bottom and sill surface (which latter may be and often is unlevel and out-of-square with the cooperating door and frame components) is properly closed and sealed. It is common practice to use soft pliable rubber weather strips commonly known as readily attachable sweeps. The commonly used sweep comprises an elongated pliant gapclosing rubber strip or flap whose upper lengthwise edge is secured in one manner or another to the door bottom so that it depends therefrom and so that the deformable self-adapting bottom edge sweeps in and out over the sill surface when the door is opened and closed. Generally speaking, the gap to be spanned by the sweep may and does vary from A" to 1%"; so, the sweep has to be such and so installed that the necessary gapcl-osing result is elfectively taken care of.
Storm door manufacturers have attempted to solve this vertical sweep adjusting problem in one manner. On the other hand, it is the consensus of opinion that a more acceptable and satisfactory achievement is needed. Accordingly, it is the chief objective in the instant matter to improve upon prior art accomplishments by attaining the requisite vertical adjustment in a unique but highly practical and simple manner and to'thus up-date and elfectually solve the stated problem.
To the ends desired the herein disclosed sweep, an economical onepiece elongated pliant rubber weather strip, features a novel body portion provided across its lower lengthwise part with a deformable and conformable dragflap. The body portion is the improved component in that it is expressly constructed for vertical adjustment to compensate for and cope with the aforementioned ever varying gaps.
Briefly, the overall improved concept comprises a storm door embodying a frame having a horizontal bottom member which when in use is spaced vertically from the top surface of the usual sill in a manner which leaves the usual gap between the underneath surface of said bottom member and top surface having integral builtin means for attachment and retention of a sill sweep, and a onepiece horizontally elongated gap-closing sweep commensurate in length with the length of said bottom frame member, said sweep comprising a flexible weather strip including a body portion and a flap portion extending across the bottom part of said body portion whereby the bottom edge contacts and sweeps back and forth over the sills top surface to effect the desired weather proofing seal. The body portion spans the major part of said gap, the upperedge of said body portion being secured to said sweep-attaching and re taining means, said body portion embodying inherent 3,250,040 Patented May 10, 1966 self-contained manually alterable properties whereby the vertical height can be adjusted to compensate for gaps presenting minor height adjustment problems.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a view in elevation showing the lower portion of a storm door and illustrating the gap between the bottom of the door frame and sill and the improved adjustable door sweep and how it is constructed and used;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged view taken on the section line 2-2 of FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 3 is a view in perspective of the vertically adjustable door sweep by its-elf and which, at the left,
shows two of the severable ribbed portions of the upper part of the body portion partially torn away for removal and disposal whereby to adjust the remaining sweep to the height desired.
With reference to FIG. 1 the numeral 4 designates a bottom portion of a fixed door frame with the associated frame 6 of a conventional-type storm door 8 fitted therein. The line 10 designates the top surface of a door sill. The underneath portion of the horizontal bottom frame member 12 is spaced above the surface 10 to define the gap which is to be spanned and sealed by the improved attachable, detachable and replaceable sweep-type weather strip 14.
In connection with the weather strip 14 it is to be pointed out here that, generally speaking, it is analogous to currently used and known weather strips in that it is attached to the underneath side of the bottom frame member 12 and in the manner of an apron bridges and accordingly closes the undesirable air gap. Also and as will be hereinafter more fully appreciated this weather strip or sweep 14 is unique and original in that it is functionally designed and expressly constructedrto take the place of weather strips commonly used and is adaptportion which is not required and then discarding the same.
With reference to FIG. 2 the bottorn frame member terminates in a bottom channel comprising a web 16, an inboard channel wall or flange 18 and an outboard wall or flange 20. It will be noticed also that proximal to the flange 20 there is an oblique angled L-shaped longitudinal flange or cleat 22 which cooperates with the flange 20 in providing an open-ended groove or channel (substantially V-shaped in cross-section) denoted generally at 24. It is into this channel that the upper longitudinal edge portion of the novel sweep 14 is to' be fitted and used in the manner shown. 7
With reference now to the sweep per se it is fabricated from a type of flexible and pliant moldable rubber which is in common use as a sweep for aluminum and equivalent storm doors. To differentiate from the common rectangular flat-sided weather strip or sweep regularly employed the improved sweep 14 comprises a body portion 26 and ever, the other side embodies the unique vertical adjustment means which is characterized by a plurality of like a spaced parallel ribs the lowermost one of which is denoted at 38, the uppermost one at 40 and the intervening or intermediate ones at 42. The top edge of the uppermost rib 40 constitutes the upper longitudinally alterable sizechanging edge of the overall sweep. The ribs are preferably V-shaped in transverse cross-section and are of a length commensurate with the length of the flap 28 and body portion 36. More particularly the converging lengthwise sides of the ribs are joined by a relatively narrow severable web 44. Alternatively these severable or frangible webs are referred to as tearable and rippable. In any event and in keeping with the inventive concept it is within the purview thereof to alter the width or height of the vertically adjustable body portion 26 leaving the flap 28 intact. Accordingly, when correctly installed the flap is down when all circumstances are as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. On the other hand, the upper lengthwise edge portion of the body part is up and is anchored and keyed in the keying channel 24. In accordance with the freshly torn sweep or weather strip shown in FIG. 3 it will be evident that it lends itself to use as a satisfactory closure Y er-proofing seal, said body portion spanning the major an inch to one inch and a quarter simply by tearing or cutting along or between a predetermined or selected rib or ribs. FIG. 3 shows the two ribs, the uppermost rib 40 and the so-called intermediate rib 42 both being ripped loose and torn off whereby the remaining ribs 42 and 38 therebelow are still intact.
All the user has to do is to measure the height of the gap, rip or tear off one, two or more ribs by way of the separable webs in the seemingly evident manner brought out in FIG. 3.
Assuming that the user of the sweep has installed the storm door 8 in the frame 4 and that the usual gap between the bottom frame member 12 exists as disclosed in FIGS. 1 and 2 and further assuming that the sweep has a body portion 26 made up of the seven ribs shown in FIG. 3 and flap at the bottom it has been ascertained that the sweep in its original form would be too wide or too high. Therefore, in order to accomplish the installation shown in FIG. 2 it then became necessary to reduce the height. Accordingly, the user would either tear or out two of the topmost ribs away leaving the remaining five ribs. Then the remaining uppermost rib is installed and anchored in the channel 24 between the flanges 20 and 22. The ribs are long and narrow that is of a cross-section that they are sufliciently stable to allow one to readily select the point of alteration, then catch hold of the desired ribs at one end of the strip or sweep as suggested in FIG. 2 and simply tear off the necessary rib or ribs. ,The fact that the ribs are V-shaped also facilitates reliable keying and anchoring of the attachable or anchorable rib in the keying channel 24.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and
- accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
