Door bottom system for an entryway system

A door bottom system for use with an entryway system disposed within an aperture of a structure, which has an exterior and an interior, with the entryway system having a door panel capable of moving between an open position and a closed position, said door bottom system comprising:

• a door sweep disposed below and adapted to be coupled to the door panel, with said door sweep movable between first and second positions corresponding with the open and closed positions of the door panel, respectively;
• and
• a threshold assembly disposed below said door sweep in said second position, said threshold assembly comprising:
• a sill extending along an axis between an exterior side for facing the exterior of the structure and an interior side for facing the interior of the structure, with said sill defining a channel between said exterior side and said interior side which is adapted for accepting a fluid therein;
• and
• a seal coupled to said sill and extending at least partially along said axis and downwardly toward said sill to a distal end, with said seal movable along said axis between an initial position and a sealed position, and with said door sweep selectively engaging and moving said seal from said initial position when said door sweep is in said first position to said sealed position when said door sweep is in said second position for preventing infiltration of the fluid from the exterior to the interior of the structure;
• wherein said seal extends over and covers said channel in said initial position when said door sweep is in said first position;
• and
• wherein said seal at least partially uncovers said channel in said sealed position such that said distal end of said seal is positioned above said channel when said door sweep is in said second position for directing any fluid that may infiltrate between said door sweep and said seal off said downwardly extending seal at said distal end and into said channel.
