COMBINATION SPLASH SEAL AND WEAR BAR

摘要

A seal assembly is mounted to a floor portion of an RV with a slide out room. The slide out room has a wall and a floor that is separated from the floor of the RV. The seal assembly has a wear bar with a ramped surface extending up from a flange at an obtuse angle, terminating in a flat top surface which then terminates in a wall that extends downwardly to another flange. The seal has a flexible wiper that seals to the slide out room floor. The seal assembly includes a splash shield with a resilient end that seals to the wall of the slide out room.

1. A seal for living quarters having main living area walls and a main living area floor defining a main living area, said main living area floor having a lateral edge, an aperture in one of said main living area walls slidably receiving a slide out room having slide out room walls, an end wall, and a second floor defining an auxiliary living space, said slide out room capable of movement between a retracted and an extended position, said second floor adapted for slidably overlaying said main living area floor and separated therefrom, said seal comprising:
a floor portion formed from a single member having an inward flange and an outward flange, said inward flange having a lower surface and an upper surface, said outward flange having a lower surface and an upper surface, said lower surface of said outward flange being substantially parallel with said lower surface of said inward flange, a mounting surface adapted for receiving a wear bar fastened thereto, said mounting surface connected between said inward flange and said outward flange, said wear bar having an upper surface spaced from said inward and outward flanges when said wear bar is mounted to said mounting surface, an exterior leg attached at a terminal end of said outer flange at a point intermediate to its ends, said exterior leg having a lower portion extending in an opposite direction of said wear bar below said lower surfaces of said inner and outer flanges and said lower portion being substantially perpendicular to said outer flange, said exterior leg including an upper portion being located above said outer flange said upper portion being more flexible than said lower portion; a splash portion formed from a single member being generally L-shaped and having a mounting leg and a sealing leg that is substantially perpendicular to said mounting leg, said sealing leg having a portion nearest a distal end of said sealing leg being more flexible than said mounting leg; and said lower portion of said exterior leg adapted to overlay a portion of said mounting leg of said splash portion, a portion of said upper portion and said wear bar adapted to contact a lower surface of said second floor.
