A sound damping door system having a door frame, a compression seal, a door slab, a bottom seal, and a concealed hinge assembly. The door frame includes male and female components adapted to engage each other in a rough door opening between first and second wall faces; and at least one isolation gasket adapted to be disposed between the male and female components. The compression seal is mounted to the door frame. The door slab includes an outer skin; an arched constrainment sheet inside the outer skin; a damping fill material inside the outer skin; and an acoustic insert inside the outer skin. The bottom seal is mounted to a bottom surface of the door slab such that the bottom seal is permitted to move relative to the door slab.

BENDABLE SEALING PROFILE
20220372817 · 2022-11-24 ·

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.

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

Door system having sound control and RF shielding and methods of making same

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.

WEATHER STRIPPING ASSEMBLY FOR DOORS
20230029792 · 2023-02-02 ·

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.

TOP-HANGING SLIDING DOOR INCLUDING WEDGE DESIGN TOP SEAL

Systems and methods for providing a door seal system for top-hanging sliding doors. In some implementations, two angled mating surfaces are used, one angled surface on a fixed frame and one reversed angled surface on the slideable door panel. The slideable door panel slides directly parallel to the fixed door frame. A mating seal surface is created that is only in frictional contact for a small portion of the linear slide distance of the door panel. In some implementations, rather than placing two opposing angled seal surfaces, the sealing system has one angled surface on the fixed door frame. In such implementations, the sliding door panel is adjusted to be in a reverse angled orientation relative to the angled surface of the fixed door frame. Seal designs for the rear vertical edge of the slideable door panel are also provided herein.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MICRO-CELLULAR FOAM WEATHER SEAL
20230160254 · 2023-05-25 · ·

A weather seal includes an elongated micro-cellular foam bulb, and an elongated micro-cellular foam fin element attached to an extending along the length of the foam bulb. The fin elements includes a spine having opposed planar surfaces and at least one microcellular foam barb extending outwardly and at a downward angle from each surface and along the length of the spine. As an alternative to barbs, another option is to use a higher durometer foamed thermoplastic elastomer in a hollow circle shape that would push into a retention pocket. A t-slot version that has a foamed bulb and a polypropylene base is another option.

DOOR SEAL
20230116258 · 2023-04-13 ·

A door seal for attaching to a door includes an elongated body that has a first arm for attaching to the door and a second arm pivotably coupled to the first arm. The first arm has a first connection feature, and the second arm has a second connection feature that is configured to connect to the first connection feature of the first arm. The first arm is movable relative to the second arm to a folded configuration that allows the door seal to be rolled to a coiled configuration. The second arm is movable relative to the first arm to allow the second connection feature to connect to the first connection feature such that the door seal is in an installed configuration.
