<p>WEATHERSTRIP AND METHOD FOR SEALING A GAP There is provided a weatherstrip for sealing a gap between members that are movable relative to one another between non-aligned and aligned positions. The weatherstrip includes a backing strip, preferably of fabric material, that can be secured to one of the members. One or more sealing bodies, such as rows of pile fibers, extend longitudinally with respect to the backing strip. The sealing bodies are secured to the backing strip and cooperate therewith to form a sealing assembly. Each sealing body has a free surface portion remote from the place of attachment of the sealing body to the backing strip. A flexible film is secured to the sealing assembly and extends longitudinally of the backing strip. The flexible film has a free edge portion opposite to the part thereof which is secured to the sealing assembly. This free edge portion extends beyond the free surface portion of each sealing body for a substantial distance so that the free edge portion of the film can be bent over at least a part of the free surface portion of the sealing body.</p> |
