Insect barrier means for sliding door constructions

摘要

A sliding door construction in which two sliding door panels are adapted to be moved into open position or into a position where one panel is in open or partially open position and the other panel is in closed position and wherein one of the juxtaposed stile members of the door panels is provided with a movable pivoted insect barrier blade extending the length of the stile member and in operative insect barrier position lying normal to the plane of the door panels and having a width for virtually closing the space between the stile and the surface of the other door panel. In non-operative position of the barrier blade, the blade lies parallel to the plane of the door panels. The barrier blade has an actuator rib engageable by an actuator flange carried by the stile of the other door panel for pivotally moving the blade into the said normal position to the planes of the door panels and to parallel position of the door panels. A sliding door construction which additionally includes a fixed door panel and a fixed insect barrier blade carried by the stile of the sliding door panel proximate to the fixed panel. A barrier strip member for use between relatively movable sliding panels in which the strip member includes a flange section extending normal to the strip member and hinge means along a longitudinal edge of the blade member adjacent the flange section.
