DOOR SEAL
For sealing a door, a jamb interface with a specified width connects to a jamb interior face of a jamb along a longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face. A flap forms a seal between a section door and the jamb.
1 . An apparatus comprising:
a jamb interface with a specified width connecting to a jamb interior face of a jamb along a longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face; and
a flap forming a seal between a section door and the jamb.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the specified width is in the range of 9 to 14 centimeter (cm).
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a jamb flange disposed at an intersection of the flap and the jamb interface, the jamb flange orthogonal to a latitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face, and abutting a jamb traverse face of the jamb.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a wall flange disposed at a distal edge of the jamb interface, orthogonal to a latitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face, and connected to a wall.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one break groove disposed longitudinally along the jamb interface.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the flap and the jamb interface are extruded as a single piece.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the flap and jamb interface are formed of an elastomer.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , the jamb interface further comprising a plurality of fingers, each finger having a specified finger height, and each finger separated from adjacent fingers by a specified finger spacing.
9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the specified finger height is in the range of 1 to 1.5 cm and the specified finger spacing is in the range of 1 to 1.5 cm.
10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a proximal edge of the plurality of fingers is in the range of 4 to 6.5 cm from an intersection of the flap and the jamb interface.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the proximal edge of one or more of the plurality of fingers is scored.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein each finger is scored to a depth of 1/32 of an inch.
13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , the jamb interface further comprising a connector hole.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the connector hole is disposed in the range of 3.5 to 6.5 cm from an intersection of the flap and the jamb interface and is a ⅛ inch hole.
15 . A method for sealing a door comprising:
connecting a jamb interface with a specified width to a jamb interior face of a jamb along a longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face; and
sealing between a section door and the jamb.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises sealing between the section door and the jamb with a jamb flange disposed at an intersection of the flap and the jamb interface, the jamb flange orthogonal to a latitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face, and abutting a jamb traverse face of the jamb.
17 . The method of claim 15 , the jamb interface further comprising a plurality of fingers, each finger having a specified finger height, and each finger separated from adjacent fingers by a specified finger spacing.
18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprising connecting a wall flange to a wall, the wall flange disposed at a distal edge of the jamb interface, orthogonal to a latitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face.
19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising disposing a connector hole in the range of 3.5 to 6.5 cm from an intersection of the flap and the jamb interface
20 . A system comprising:
a section door;
a jamb;
a jamb interface with a specified width connecting to a jamb interior face of the jamb along a longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face; and
a flap forming a seal between the section door and the jamb.
