ABSTRACT:
An improved weathersealed door system includes a sill and a cooperating weatherseal member which has a tubular depending portion deflected by the sill in the closed position so as to provide firm surface engagement therewith. A header weatherseal member extends across the top edge of the door and is also resiliently deflected in the closed position of the door. Extending vertically along the hinge side of the door is a first hinge jamb weatherseal member which seats against the surface of the door in its closed position, and a second hinge jamb weatherseal member extends upwardly from the sill and is fabricated of highly compressible material of greater thickness than the space between the side edge of the door and the jamb. As a result, it is compressed by both the side edge of the door and the sill weatherseal member when the door is in its closed position.
On the latch side, there is mounted on the jamb a first latch jamb weatherseal member which extends from adjacent the header to a point spaced above the sill. This member has a first portion physically mounted on the jamb and a deflectable portion which engages the surface of the door in its closed position and which also provides an internal channel at least adjacent the sill end thereof. A second latch jamb weatherseal member is mounted below the first member and extends upwardly from the sill; its cross section provides a body portion, a deflectable lip portion projecting laterally towards the door and an interseal portion projecting up into the channel of the first member. This second latch jamb weatherseal member is fabricated of highly compressible material which is compressed by the door and sill weatherseal members in the closed position thereof and the lip portion abuts the side edge of the door.
