Draining door sill assembly with adjustable threshold cap

In a threshold and door assembly of the type having a threshold cap mounted in an elongated channel and protruding upwardly therefrom and a sill shaped to provide a surface that extends laterally and slopes downwardly from one side of said channel to an outside edge of said assembly, the improvement comprising an end cap on said assembly with said end cap being mounted to one end of said frame member and being formed with a drain trough that extends transversely beneath said one end of said frame member, said drain trough having a first portion positioned at least partially to underlie an end of said channel and an end portion forming a mouth at the outside edge of said assembly, whereby rain water seeping under the threshold cap and into the channel flows to the end of the channel and into the end cap trough, which further directs the water beyond the outside edge of and away from the threshold and sill assembly.

An entranceway door assembly comprising a door frame having spaced vertically extending jambs, a door hingedly secured to one of said jambs, and a threshold and sill assembly extending between and secured to the bottom end portions of said vertically extending jambs, said threshold and sill assembly comprising an elongated frame member formed with a longitudinally extending upwardly open channel and a sill shaped to provide a surface that extends laterally and slopes downwardly from one side of said channel to an outside edge of said frame member, an elongated threshold cap positioned and supported within said channel with at least a portion of said threshold cap protruding upwardly from said channel, an end cap securely mounted to one end of said elongated frame member with said end cap being formed with a drain trough that extends transversely beneath said one end of said frame member, said drain trough having a first portion positioned at least partially to underlie an end of said channel and an end portion forming a mouth at the outside edge of said frame member, whereby rain water seeping under the threshold cap and into the channel flows to the end of the channel and into the end cap drain trough, which directs the water beyond the outside edge of the frame member and away from the threshold and sill assembly.

A threshold and door sill assembly comprising an elongated frame member having a threshold portion, a sill portion, ends, and a forward edge;

• at least one end cap secured to an end of said frame member with said end cap forming member, said though having a portion that at least partially underlies the end of said frame member to capture water that seeps under said assembly at the ends thereof, said end cap and said trough extending beneath said sill portion of said assembly to a mouth at the forward edge of said frame member, whereby water seeping beneath the end of the frame member is collected in the drain trough and directed thereby beneath the sill portion of the assembly to the forward edge thereof for drainage away from the threshold and door sill assembly.

A threshold and door sill assembly comprising an elongated body having ends and a forward edge, means on said assembly for collecting rain water that seeps into and under the assembly and directing the collected rain water along the length of said elongated body to the ends thereof, and means on at least one end of said elongated body for capturing rain water directed to such end, directing the captured rain water transversely beneath said body to the forward edge of the assembly, and expelling the rain water from said assembly at the forward edge thereof.
