Weath′er-strip.

A pliable piece of rubber, for instance, which closes accurately the space between the shut door and the threshold.

Or a jointed piece which lifts clear when the door is opened, and shuts tightly down when the door is closed.

In Fig. 7133, a flexible strip, attached to the bottom of the door, occupies, when the door is closed, a metallic trough which carries the water away.

In Fig. 7134, the leaf is attached by an elastic strip to the cleat on the door. The hinging portion admits of the depression of the leaf, and, by its resiliency, acts as a spring to raise it when the door is open.

Weather-strip.
