ABSTRACT:
A weather seal for the bottom edge of a swinging door comprises a roller covered with a compressible material such as carpeting. The roller is supported for rotation on spring biased arms that are attached to the door. The arms press the roller into sealing relationship with the door and doorsill when the door is closed and permit the roller to rise and fall as required to clear obstructions or irregularities in the surface over which the door swings as it is being opened. At least one end of the roller which is at the hinge edge of the door is made as a flexible tube so it will bend if it is obstructed by a wall as the door is swung open.
