Abstract
A magnetic door seal for use in association with a door mounted above a threshold, in which the lower edge (18) of the door carries a first profile (1) and a second profile (3) is provided on the threshold. The two profiles (1,3) each receive a magnetic strip (51,53). One magnetic strip (53) is movable and acts as a sealing strip, while the other magnetic strip (51) cooperates magnetically with the first magnetic strip in order to seal the gap (5) between the lower edge of the door and the threshold when the door is closed. The magnetic strip (53) which is arranged in the second profile (3) at least partially defines a water drainage channel (303) extending parallel to the magnetic strip.

Magnetic door seal for use in association with a door mounted above a threshold, said magnetic door seal comprising
- a first profile for mounting on a lower edge of the door,
- a first magnetic strip provided in said first profile,
- a second profile for mounting on the threshold, and
- a second magnetic strip provided in said second profile,
- said first and second magnetic strips cooperating magnetically to seal a gap between the lower edge of the door and the threshold when the door is closed, and said second magnetic strip being movable up into contact with said first magnetic strip and acting as a sealing strip,
- an exterior surface of said second magnetic strip at least partially defining a water drainage channel extending parallel to said second magnetic strip,
- a recess located in said second profile,
- said second magnetic strip being movable from and housed in said recess when the door is open, said recess serving as a remainder of said water drainage channel,
- water run-off openings provided in a bottom of said recess, and
- a collecting channel extending along said second profile until opening at lateral edges for release of water from opposed ends of said collecting channel, said water run-off openings extending from said bottom of said recess into said collecting channel.
Magnetic door seal for use in association with a door mounted above a threshold, said magnetic door seal comprising
- a first profile for mounting on a lower edge of the door,
- a first magnetic strip provided in said first profile,
- a second profile for mounting on the threshold, and
- a second magnetic strip provided in said second profile,
- said first and second magnetic strips cooperating magnetically for sealing a gap between the lower edge of the door and the threshold when the door is closed, and one of said first and second magnetic strips being movable and acting as a sealing strip,
- said second magnetic strip at least partially defining a water drainage channel extending parallel to said second magnetic strip,
- at least one of said first profile and said second profile being constructed in first and second profile portions and said first and second profile portions being held together by an insulating strip and the other of which receives a further magnetic strip, and the first and second profile portions together define a recess which receives said first or second magnetic strip.
