Abstract

The watertight patio door assembly includes two adjacent and laterally offset door panels mounted in a door frame, at least one of the door panels being slidably movable within the door frame. It also includes a combined air and water passageway located within a sill section of the door frame. The passageway provides a continual fluid communication between a location at a bottom end of a clearance gap, located between adjacent vertical frame members of the door panels when the patio door assembly is closed, and the exterior side of the patio door assembly. Two spaced-apart sets of weatherstrips create a vertically- extending buffer air space within the clearance gap. The disclosed arrangement can greatly improve watertightness between the door panels during severe weather conditions without the need of a complex arrangement and/or weatherstrips impairing the movement of the sliding door panel or panels. A method for improving watertightness between a sliding door panel and of a stationary door panel of a patio door assembly is also presented.

Claims (14)

1. A watertight patio door assembly having an exterior side and an interior side, the patio door assembly including:

a quadrilateral door frame having a sill section, a head section and opposite first and second jamb sections;

two adjacent and laterally offset door panels mounted in the door frame and lying in respective vertical planes that are parallel to one another, at least one of the door panels being slidably movable within the door frame, each door panel including vertical and horizontal frame members, the innermost vertical frame members of the door panels being adjacent to one another and having a clearance gap between them when the patio door assembly is in a closed position;

a combined air and water passageway located within the sill section of the door frame, the passageway providing a continual fluid communication between a location at a bottom end of the clearance gap and the exterior side of the patio door assembly; and two spaced-apart sets of weatherstrips creating a vertically-extending buffer air space within the clearance gap, the buffer air space being immediately above the location at the bottom end of the clearance gap, a first one of the two sets of weatherstrips being proximal to an exterior edge of the clearance gap and being continually subjected to a substantially equal air pressure on opposite sides, any water reaching inside the buffer air space being channeled directly into the passageway and kept away from a second one of the two sets weatherstrips, which second set is distal from the exterior edge of the clearance gap.
2. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein one of the door panels is stationary within the door frame, the other door panel being slidable.
3. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 2, wherein the stationary door panel is closer to the exterior side than the slidable door panel.
4. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 3, wherein each of the two sets of weatherstrips includes a weatherstrip extending transversally under the innermost vertical frame members.
5. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 4, wherein the transversally-extending weatherstrips are substantially horizontally disposed.
6. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 3, 4 or 5, wherein each of the two sets of weatherstrips includes a weatherstrip extending vertically, each vertically-extending weatherstrip projecting from one of the innermost vertical frame members to the other innermost vertical frame member.
7. The patio door assembly as defined in any one of claims 2 to 6, wherein the passageway includes a bottom horizontal gutter extending longitudinally inside the sill section of the door frame.
8. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 7, wherein the gutter includes a main top-open main section that is positioned transversally between the vertical door planes and that includes a plurality of bottom drain holes that are in fluid communication with at least one outlet drain hole provided on an exterior side of the sill section.
9. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 8, wherein the location at the bottom end of the clearance gap coincides with a notch provided on a main horizontal wall of an elongated insert positioned inside the main section of the gutter, the insert extending substantially all along the stationary door panel.
10. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 9, wherein the notch extends transversally across substantially an entire width of the main horizontal wall of the insert.
11. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 9 or 10, wherein the insert includes a plurality of longitudinally-extending and spaced-apart spacer walls projecting from a bottom side of the main horizontal wall of the insert, the spacer walls being configured and disposed to engage an interior of the main section of the gutter.
12. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 9, 10 or 11, wherein the insert includes flexible sealing strips extending substantially laterally along longitudinal edges of the main horizontal wall, the sealing strips being configured and disposed to engage an interior of the main section of the gutter.
13. The patio door assembly as defined in any one of claims 9 to 12, wherein each of the two sets of weatherstrips includes a weatherstrip located on the main horizontal wall of the insert, the notch being positioned in-between the weatherstrips on the main horizontal wall of the insert.
14. The patio door assembly as defined in claim 13, wherein at least one of the weatherstrips on the main horizontal wall of the insert includes at least one row of upwardly-projecting pile fibers.
