Patent ID: 8522483

Claim:
A door entryway system, comprising: a door sweep capable of attachment to a bottom of a door panel; and a threshold assembly having a self-articulating threshold cap configured to be biased toward the door panel, and configured to interact with the door sweep to form a sealing barrier when the door panel is in a closed position, wherein the door sweep comprises a rigid arm and a resilient bulb, the rigid arm being configured to interact with the threshold cap to deflect the threshold cap away from the door sweep, the resilient bulb contacting the threshold cap to form the sealing barrier when the door panel is in the closed position, wherein, when the door moves from an open position to the closed position, the rigid arm first deflects the threshold cap, then the resilient bulb comes into contact with the threshold cap, wherein the self-articulating threshold cap comprises an articulating top portion and a first wall, the articulating top portion being rotatably connected to the first wall, the articulating top portion forming the sealing barrier with the resilient bulb.
