Abstract
A seal attached to a door frame for mating engagement with a door. The seal including a first side for sealing engagement with a door edge, and a second side for sealing engagement with the door outer surface. The seal moves relative to the door from the door open position, where the seal first side is disposed at a first spaced apart distance from the door frame edge surface; to the door closed position, where the door moves the seal first side closer to the door frame edge surface. The seal further moves relative to the door from the door open position, where the seal second side is not disposed adjacent to the door outer surface; to the door closed position where the seal second side is disposed adjacent to the door outer surface and in covering relation to the door outer surface.

A closure assembly comprising:
- a door frame, the door frame including an edge surface;
- a door having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a side edge surface, the door inner and outer surfaces being orientated to face in generally opposite directions;
- and
- a seal attached to the door frame for mating engagement with the door;
- wherein the door is configured to move relative to the door frame from an open position, where the door side edge surface is disposed at a distance from the door frame edge surface, to a closed position where the door has moved inwardly and The door side edge surface opposes the door frame edge surface, the seal including a first side arranged to provide sealing engagement with the door side edge surface, and a second side arranged to provide sealing engagement with the door outer surface, the seal first side disposed proximate to the door frame edge surface for movement relative to the door frame edge surface, the seal also being configured to move relative to the door from the door open position, where the seal first side is disposed at a spaced apart distance from the door frame edge surface, to the door closed position, where the seal first side has moved inwardly and is disposed closer to the door frame edge surface than at the door open position, and the seal being configured to further move relative to the door from the door open position, where the seal second side is not disposed adjacent to the door outer surface, to the door closed position where the seal second side is disposed adjacent to the door outer surface and in covering relation to the door outer surface.
