Abstract

An insulating member for installation on double doors comprising a flat flange member adapted to be secured to one of the doors and a resilient deformable portion on the member extending below the door on which it is mounted and providing sealing insulation when the other door is closed with respect to the door on which the member is installed. Fingers extending from a deformable section may extend the same or different distances.

Claims

1. Improved insulating means for a pair of double doors mounted in a door opening having a floor wherein the bottom of said doors at the intersection thereof forms a space between the doors and the floor, the improvement comprising;

an insulating device having a flat planar portion secured to the side edge of one of said doors having an integral lower deformable portion extending downwardly from said planar portion into the space formed between the doors and the floor, said lower deformable portion being comprised of a deformable section having a plurality of outwardly extending spaced resilient fingers thereon.

2. In the insulating means of claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of outwardly extending spaced resilient fingers extends substantially the same distance.

3. In the device of claim 2 wherein the fingers at the extremities of said deformable section extend out less than the fingers intermediate said section.

4. In the device of claim 3 wherein said deformable portion is of a resilient material.

5. In the device of claim 4 wherein said resilient material is rubber.
