Door sill system, apparatus, and methods for a door assembly
A system, device, kit, assembly and methods for a frame assembly, including a door sill as shown and described. The assembly may be a door frame assembly and may, by way of example, be a door jamb and/or a door mullion including a door sill. In other embodiments, a door sill includes a base component having a slot, a deck component having a segment, and wherein the segment component press-fits within the slot to adjoin the base component and the deck component. Some inventions of the present disclosure may be considered a door sill having a press-fit removable deck.
1. A door sill comprising:
a base component, including:
a first end, a second end, a top and a bottom;
a deck component, including: a deck first end, a deck second end, a deck top, and a deck bottom;
a slot formed in the base component and having an upward indentation,
a segment extending from said deck component and having a curved end between a first arm and a second arm,
wherein said slot and said segment are adapted to mate with one another and together form a press-fit securing tension securing the deck component to the base component;
at least one barb extending outwardly from one of the first arm or the second arm, wherein the at least one barb mates with the upward indentation and the press-fit of the first arm and second arm tensioned to press against the inside walls of the slot combining to secure the deck component with the base component.
2. The door sill of claim 1 , wherein said base component is injection molded.
3. The door sill of claim 1 , wherein said base component is an extruded substrate.
4. The door sill of claim 1 wherein said deck component is an extruded aluminum deck.
5. The door sill of claim 1 , wherein said deck component is adjoined to a molded base component, and mates with the molded base component to form a two-piece assembled door sill.
6. The door sill of claim 1 wherein said segment is a U-shaped segment.
7. The door sill of claim 1 including an indentation.
8. The door sill of claim 7 wherein said indentation is an upward indentation.
9. The door sill of claim 7 wherein said indentation is a downward indentation.
10. The door sill of claim 1 wherein said at least one barb hooks onto the upward indentation to secure the segment within the slot.
11. The door sill of claim 1 including a plane formed from a top, a plane formed from a deck top, and a plane formed by a seal top, wherein the plane formed by a seal top is higher from a ground surface than the plane formed from a deck top or the plane formed by the top.
12. A door sill comprising:
a base component, including:
a first end, a second end, a top and a bottom;
a deck component, including: a deck first end, a deck second end, a deck top, and a deck bottom;
a slot formed in the base component, wherein said base component includes an extended length caulking strip;
a segment extending from said deck component,
wherein said slot and said segment are adapted to mate with one another and together form a press-fit securing tension securing the deck component to the base component;
a cover, wherein said cover secures to said base portion at least in part by way of a segment cover extending into the slot and hooking around a proximal surface in conjunction with a cover projection mating with the base portion at a base recess.
