ABSTRACT:
An inflatable dock seal for mounting about a loading dock opening to provide a cushioned seal against a vehicle has an upper inflatable curtain and a pair of inflatable side members; the side members inflate laterally of the opening directly towards each other along a phantom axis of inflation which is perpendicular to a phantom axis of entry of the opening; the side members are in particular L-shaped and inflate laterally of the L-shape; the inflatable foot of the L-shape forming a bottom seal extending from the wall to the leg of the L-shape spaced from the wall; the spacing of the leg of the L-shape from the wall provides a window for entry of natural light to the opening.
