ABSTRACT:
A seal assembly for use in combination with a retractable door includes a replaceable seal strip for positively sealing the gap between the door frame and the retractable door. The seal strip is flexed about a fold line in response to compression by transversely sloping seal receiving surfaces of a seal receiver and retainer bar. The external side portion of the seal strip projects transversely with respect to the retractable door, and is deflected by positive engagement with the door when the seal assembly is mounted in the operative position. The retainer bar is secured to the seal receiver by a screw fastener, and may be removed for repair or replacement of the seal strip without requiring removal of the receiver from the door frame. The seal assembly utilizes a replaceable rectangular seal strip of resilient material which initially is in a flat condition. When the seal strip is clamped between the retainer bar and receiver, the external side portion of the seal strip which projects from the seal receiver is automatically flexed to an appropriate angle for positive sealing engagement against the retractable door in the operative position.
