- ABSTRACT A threshold Weatherstrip for an inswinging door which is characterized by a channel member of reinforced plastic material having a U-shaped cross section with the flanges thereof adapted to engage opposite faces of the door bottom and a resilient compressible means seated in the upwardly opening channel with screws or similar fasteners for adjustably attaching the assembly on the bottom edge of the door, the compressible means, in one form thereof, being a foam plastic strip which is compressed and fills the space between the top face of the channel web and the bottom edge of the door, and a sweep-forming strip member depending from the bottom face of the channel member for sweeping engagement wite the sill surface.
- the compressible means takes the form of spaced coil spring members disposed between foam plastic blocks, the latter closing the openings at the ends of the channel member.
- This invention relates to Weatherstripping and is more particularly concerned with improvements in a threshold Weatherstrip for mounting on the bottom of a door so as to afford a weather seal between the bottom edge of the door and the upward face of the sill.
- Various Weatherstripping arrangements have been devised for sealing along the bottom of an exterior door so as to prevent the passage of dirt, air and other undesirable substances into the building and in some constructions to prevent the loss of heated or cooled air to the outside when the door is closed.
- One common form of such device comprises a metal strip seated in a recess in the bottom edge of a door and having a-flange which interlocks with a co-operating flange on a second metal strip which is fastened to the top face of the sill.
- a collapsible rubber tube is mounted in a metal strip which is secured on the bottom edge of the door.
- a more specific object of the invention is to provide a door bottom Weatherstrip structure which may be ad justably mounted on the bottom edge of the door and which provides an effective seal between the door bottom and the sill across the entire width of the opening.
- It is still another object of the invention to provide a threshold Weatherstrip structure which comprises a channel-shaped base member adapted to be positioned on the bottom edge of the door and enclosing a strip of foam plastic material which is compressible by taking up on adjustable fasteners securing the assembly to the door bottom, together with a strip of material depending from the bottom face of the channel which is compressible and resilient to a degree sufficient to enable it to sweep across the top surface of the sill and provide a seal when the door is closed.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a threshold Weatherstrip assembly which comprises a channel shaped base member for fastening, by means of screws or the like, in adjustable relation on the bottom edge of a door, with a resilient and compressible means seated in the channel which is effective for sealing the space between the bottom of the channel and the bottom edge of the door while permitting adjustment, together with a compressible and resilient sweep depending from the bottom face of the channel for cooperation with the top face of the sill so as to provide a seal when the door is closed.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a threshold Weatherstrip wherein a channel shaped base member is provided for adjustably mounting by means of screws or similar fastening elements on the bottom of the door with compressible spring members in the space between the bottom edge of the door and the bottom of the channel member and compressible end sealing means together with a resilient sweep forming member depending from the channel member for cooperation with the top face of the sill in forming a seal upon the door being closed.
