Abstract:
A threshold includes a substantially vertically upstanding nosing extending along a longitudinal axis of the threshold and a substantially vertically upstanding dam spaced from and substantially parallel to the upstanding nosing. A threshold cap is disposed at least partially across a gap between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A support, which supports the threshold cap, is located at least partially within the gap. The threshold cap is adjustable between at least a raised position and a lowered position. The threshold cap is biased toward the raised position when the door panel of the entryway is in an open position. The threshold cap pivots about a pivot axis parallel with the longitudinal axis. The pivot axis is not a central axis of the threshold cap.

Claim (Index 8):
A threshold for installation in an entryway of a building structure, the threshold comprising:\n an elongated substrate having a forward edge to be disposed toward an exterior to the building structure and a second edge opposite the forward edge; a decking cover plate mounted to the substrate and covering at least a portion of the substrate between the forward edge of the substrate and the second edge of the substrate; an upstanding nosing; an upstanding dam extending along the threshold and being spaced from and substantially parallel to the upstanding nosing; an upwardly open channel of the threshold being defined between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam, the upwardly open channel being positioned to underlie at least partially a closed door panel of the entryway; a threshold cap extending along and at least partially overlying the upwardly open channel; a support between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the support at least partially supporting the threshold cap; at least a portion of the threshold cap being movable between a first height above the upwardly open channel and a second height above the upwardly open channel, the second height being lower than the first height; the threshold cap being biased toward the first height when the door panel of the entryway is in an open position and being biased to a height below the first height by a bottom of the door panel or a sweep when the door panel is in the closed position, the threshold cap having an interior portion positioned relatively toward the upstanding nosing and an exterior portion positioned relatively toward the upstanding dam, one of the interior portion and the exterior portion moving by a greater magnitude than the other one of the interior portion and the exterior portion as the threshold cap moves between the first height and the second height.
