DOOR ENTRYWAY SYSTEM
A threshold includes a substantially vertically upstanding nosing extending along a longitudinal axis of the threshold and a substantially vertically upstanding dam spaced from and substantially parallel to the upstanding nosing. A threshold cap is disposed at least partially across a gap between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A support, which supports the threshold cap, is located at least partially within the gap. The threshold cap is adjustable between at least a raised position and a lowered position. The threshold cap is biased toward the raised position when the door panel of the entryway is in an open position. The threshold cap pivots about a pivot axis parallel with the longitudinal axis. The pivot axis is not a central axis of the threshold cap.

THRESHOLD SEAL APPARATUS, A KIT OF PARTS AND A METHOD
A threshold seal apparatus for a doorway, the threshold seal apparatus comprising a floor-mountable channel portion, a seal configured to be received within the channel portion, and an actuation mechanism operable to move the seal with respect to the channel portion between a retracted position and an extended position in which the seal is configured to contact the underside of a door mounted within the doorway.

SEAL ASSEMBLY FOR A GALLEY DOOR OF A GALLEY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A GALLEY WITH A SEAL ASSEMBLY
A seal assembly for use with a door within a frame of a galley of an aircraft includes a seal configured to be movably coupled to the door and a seal holder holding the seal. The seal assembly includes a biasing mechanism coupled to the seal holder and configured to hold the seal in an open position by applying a biasing force to the seal holder. An activation mechanism is operably coupled to the seal holder that overcomes the biasing force to move the seal from the open position to a sealed position.
Fenestration member sealing system
The system includes a gear mounted for rotation relative to the fenestration member. A mechanical linkage connects the latch control member and the gear such that the gear is rotated from a first position, where the latch is disengaged, to a second position as the latch is moved to engage the fenestration member frame. A rack in engagement with the gear is mounted to a first bar for linear movement in a given direction as the gear is rotated. A first triangular member moves with the rack. A second triangular member attached to a second bar cooperates with the first triangular member to move the second bar in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of rack movement. A gasket moves with the second bar to a position abutting the adjacent surface to automatically seal the member to the adjacent surface as the member is latched.
