Accessible Sill With Flexible Dam For Water Containment And Drainage

View page
US Patent:
8375659, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/821389
Inventors:
David Bogenhagen - Hudson WI, US
Jon Dekko - Grant MN, US
Duane Fier - Hudson WI, US
Assignee:
Andersen Corporation - Bayport MN
International Classification:
E06B 1/04
E06B 7/14
E06B 1/70
E06B 7/16
US Classification:
52211, 49408, 49467, 49469, 49470, 49471, 494951, 52209
Abstract:
A handicap accessible doorway includes a frame having side jambs and a low profile sill extending between the bottom portions of the jambs. A flexible fin extends along the length of the sill and projects upwardly therefrom to form a water dam. The flexible fin is sealingly attached at each end to a jamb. During a blowing rainstorm, water is contained by the dam and directed to a contain-and-drain water management system, which directs the water away from the doorway to an exterior weep hole or other drain port. The fin, being flexible, yields to the weight of a footstep or a wheelchair thereby maintaining the handicap accessible designation of the sill and the doorway.

Doorway With Dp Enhanced Sill

View page
US Patent:
8448384, May 28, 2013
Filed:
May 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/472601
Inventors:
Chad Wernlund - Baldwin WI, US
Jon Dekko - Grant MN, US
Duane Fier - Hudson WI, US
Assignee:
Andersen Corporation - Bayport MN
International Classification:
E06B 1/70
US Classification:
49471, 52209
Abstract:
A doorway with a sill attachment that increases a sill DP rating includes spaced vertical jambs, a head jamb, and a sill, all of which form a door frame, and a door panel mounted in the frame. The sill is a substantially hollow contain-and-drain type sill with a nosing provided with drainage openings. a substantially hollow sill attachment is mounted to and extends along the nosing and the attachment projects downwardly to a position below the openings in the nosing of the sill. The drainage openings communicate with the interior of the extension. Weep holes that communicate with the environment are located in the sill attachment at a position below the openings in the nosing of the sill. The sill and sill attachment may be formed as a single component, or as separate components assembled either in the factory or the field. The attachment increases a column height of water that can be accommodated by the sill before leakage occurs, and thus enhances the DP rating of the sill.

Doorway With Anti-Bubbling Sill Drain

View page
US Patent:
20090199486, Aug 13, 2009
Filed:
Feb 12, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/069623
Inventors:
Chad Wernlund - Baldwin WI, US
Jon Dekko - Grant MN, US
Duane Fier - Hudson WI, US
International Classification:
E06B 1/70
US Classification:
49471, 49506
Abstract:
A doorway with anti-bubbling sill drain includes spaced vertical side jambs, a head jamb, and a substantially hollow contain-and-drain sill, all of which form a frame. The sill has an outside nosing provided with weep holes and weep doors and a threshold portion that directly underlies a closed door mounted in the frame. A drain insert is mounted within an oblong hole in the threshold portion of the sill for allowing water collected on the threshold portion to drain into the sill and for allowing air within the sill to vent. The drain insert has a top cover, from the end portions of which a pair of drains depend. The tops of the drains are spaced from the underside of the top cover to form drain entrances. An open vent space is formed between the two drains and terminates at its upper extent in drain holes formed through the top cover. When installed, the drains extend down into the interior of the sill with the drain entrances being flush with the floor of the threshold portion. Water on the threshold portion drains into the drain entrances and through the two drains into the sill while air escaping from within the sill vents through the separate vent space and vent holes above. Percolation and bubbling at the drain location is thus eliminated.
