ABSTRACT:
A smoke detector-activated door seal includes an extensible member in the form of an inflatable bladder disposed about the periphery of the door. A source of compressed air is connected to the bladder such that, upon a door-carried smoke detector sensing the presence of smoke, the source of compressed air inflates the bladder so as to provide a substantially airtight seal between the door and the door frame. A manually actuated release valve is provided to enable the seal to be released whenever desired.
