ABSTRACT:
A planar window or door and frame is provided having the window or door hinged at one side to the frame so that the window or door swings outwardly and inwardly in relation to the frame, and having the top of the window or door spaced slightly beneath the adjacent portion of the frame to permit relative swinging movement between window and frame. A continuous row of resilient fibers is mounted on the frame adjacent the top of the window or door so that it covers the space between the top of the window or door and the adjacent portion of the frame when the window is closed. This row of resilient fibers extends across the width of the window or door so that as the window or door swings to open or closed positions the row of fibers deforms incrementally along the moving juncture between the top of the window or door and the frame to thereby provide a continuous seal against rainwater and wind leakage between the window or door top and the frame. The resilient row of fibers is disclosed extending downwardly from the frame a distance greater than the space between the top of the window and the frame. Also, the resilient row of fibers is horizontally spaced outwardly from the window when closed a distance about equal to or greater than the distance that the row of fibers extends downwardly from the frame.
