A door assembly for selectively interlocking opposing doors each pivotably mounted at a hinge side thereof to a door frame so as to both open and close in the same direction includes a door handle assembly mounted to one door at a latch side thereof opposite the hinge side and carrying a first plurality of magnets, and another door handle assembly mounted to the other door at a latch side thereof opposite the hinge side and carrying a second plurality of magnets. The door handle assemblies are arranged relative to each other with the first and second pluralities of magnets aligned such each aligned pair of the first and second pluralities of magnets have opposite magnetic polarities, and the aligned first and second pluralities of magnets magnetically couple to each other as the door handle assemblies are brought into contact with each other.

A bendable sealing profile for arrangement on a door system, in particular on a frame element and/or on a leaf element, has, in the cross-section, a first profile part, a second profile part and a joint, by which the profile parts are connected so as to be movable in relation to one another. The sealing profile has a latching device, by which the profile parts can be latched to one another when the profile parts are transferred from an intermediate position, in particular from an angled arrangement in relation to one another, to a mounting position, in particular to a straight arrangement in relation to one another.

The invention provides for an article of manufacture, being a sealing pad (410a, 410b, 510a, 510b, 610a) for providing resistance (obstruction) to infiltration of matter and/or energy into pre-manufactured products, including such as windows, doors and appliances. The invention also provides for a method of employing the sealing pad (410a, 410b, 510a, 510b, 610a) to provide location targeted and value added obstruction (resistance) to such infiltration into pre-manufactured products, in response to performance of infiltration testing.

Lightweight, glidable shielded components (e.g. doors) may be used in conjunction with accredited enclosures to provide electromagnetic, acoustic and CBR protection.

A kit of parts for flood-proofing a door, including: a resilient seal member including a main body and a head; a non-resilient mounting member for securing the seal member to a door frame, the mounting member defining a support surface configured to receive the seal member and defining a mounting surface locatable against the door frame, wherein a channel is formed in the support surface, the head of the seal member insertable into the channel to mate the seal member and the mounting member.

A door system and a method of making a door system including a metal door, a metal door frame for the metal door, and one or more door frame seals. The metal door and the metal door frame each include a steel outer surface with a first metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the steel outer surface, and a second metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the first metal layer. The first metal layer is different from the second metal layer. The first metal layer can be optional. The door frame seals are located on the metal door frame and provide conductivity between the metal door and the metal door frame. The door system preferably has an acceptable sound transmission class rating and RF shielding properties.

A weather stripping assembly is provided and includes a first backing member and a second backing member together defining a longitudinal axis, and first and second transverse directions. Each of the backing members includes a channel. The first backing member has a first alignment structure, and the second backing member has a second alignment structure. The first and second alignment structures are engageable with one another to align their channels with one another in the first and second transverse directions. A flexible seal is shaped to be held in and extend along the channels of both the first and second backing members when the at least two of the plurality of backing members are positioned with the first and second alignment structures in engagement with one another such that the channels of the first and second backing members are aligned with one another.

The present invention relates to an installation structure of an elastic gasket attached and installed as a sealing member to a moving window glass supporting insulation bracket in a sliding window having a two-sided supporting frame window chassis, and more specifically, it relates to an installation structure of a sealing member (e.g. an elastic gasket) that is installed to provide a sealing function between a glass supporting insulation bracket that directly supports a glass panel of the moving window from the top or bottom and a window frame provided with a sliding rail, when opening and closing the sliding window having only two-sided supporting frame that support both sides of the glass window constituting the sliding window.

An inflatable gate seal assembly includes a dump box that is mountable on a dump truck for carrying and dumping a load. A gate is hingedly coupled to the dump box for opening and closing the dump box. A conduit is integrated into the dump box and the conduit is fluidly coupled to an air compressor of the dump truck to receive compressed air from the air compressor. A control is positioned in a cab of the dump truck and the control is in electrical communication with the air compressor. A balloon is coupled to the dump box and the balloon is in fluid communication with the conduit. The balloon is inflated when the control is put in an on condition. Thus, the balloon engages the gate when the balloon is inflated and the gate is in the closed position to inhibit debris from passing between the dump box and the gate.

Disclosed herein is a sealing assembly for moving a slidable panel for engagement with and disengagement from sealing means, the sealing assembly comprising a linkage assembly which connects a handle and at least one roller assembly having roller wheels, the sealing assembly being configured to be adjustable, by manipulation of the handle, such that the at least one roller assembly and the slidable panel supported thereby are movable between a first position where the slidable panel is in contact with sealing means thereby providing weatherproofing and a second position where the slidable panel is free of the sealing means and the panel is able to move freely relative to an outer frame, and wherein the linkage assembly is configured to as to provide a variable force through the handle when the at least one roller assembly and supported panel is moved between the first and second positions.
