Weatherstrip mountable in a slot

Claim 2

An elongate weatherstrip comprising: an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed synthetic resin material, said sealing bodyhaving a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow elongate rib portion of resilient foamed synthetic resin material; a thin flexible moisture resistant coating covering at least said sealing lobe and said rib portion; and a flexible elongate hook-shaped anchoring member of a material less compressible than said synthetic resin material enclosing at least a portion of said anchoring lobe and resiliently biased into an open position by said resin material.

Claim 3

An elongate weatherstrip according to claim l wherein said anchoring member comprises an elongate paper strip.

Claim 4

An elongate weatherstrip according to claim 2 wherein said paper is saturated with latex.

Claim 5

An elongate weatherstrip according to claim 1 wherein said thin flexible coating is of a thickness of substantially 2 mils or less.

Claim 6

An elongate weatherstrip comprising: an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material; said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by an elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material; a thin flexible moisture resistant coating covering at least said sealing lobe and said rib portion; and said anchoring lobe including a flexible elongate generally V-shaped anchoring member having first and second portions defining an acute angle therebetween and including a wedge-shaped portion of resilient foamed resin material therebetween for imparting resiliency to said anchoring member whereby said weatherstrip may be easily inserted into a slot by compressing said V-shaped member and securely held therein by said anchoring member when said V-shaped member expands within said slot.

Claim 7

An elongate weatherstrip comprising: an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material; said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by an elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material; a thin flexible moisture resistant coating covering at least said sealing lobe and said rib portion; and said anchoring lobe including a flexible elongate generally V-shaped anchoring member having first and second portions defining an acute angle therebetween and including a wedge-shaped portion of resilient foamed resin material therebetween for imparting resiliency to said anchoring member whereby said weatherstrip may be easily inserted into a slot by compressing said V-shaped member and securely held therein by said anchoring member when said V-shaped member expands within said slot.

Claim 8

The weatherstrip of claim 5 wherein anchoring member comprises a folded strip of paper.

Claim 9

The weatherstrip of claim 6 wherein said strip of paper comprises a strip of latex impregnated paper.

Claim 10

An elongate weatherstrip comprising: an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material, said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material; and a hook-shaped flexible elongate anchoring member of a material characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion between about 1.0×10 -6 and 10.0×10 -6 inches per inch per degree fahrenheit and less compressible than said foamed resin material and enclosing at least a part of said anchoring lobe.

Claim 11

An elongate weatherstrip comprising: an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material, said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material; and a hook-shaped flexible elongate anchoring member of a material characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion between about 1.0×10 -6 and 10.0×10 -6 inches per inch per degree fahrenheit and less compressible than said foamed resin material and enclosing at least a part of said anchoring lobe.

Claim 12

The weatherstrip according to claim 8 wherein said anchoring member comprises an elongate paper strip.

Claim 13

An elongate weatherstrip according to claim 9 wherein said paper is saturated with a waterproofing material.

Claim 14

The elongate weatherstrip according to claim 10 wherein said waterproofing material is latex.

Claim 15

The weatherstrip of claim 8 wherein said anchoring member comprises a folded strip of paper.

Claim 16

The weatherstrip of claim 11 wherein said strip of paper comprises a strip of latex impregnated paper.
