Track cap for a sliding door

Abstract

A door sill is formed with a track to support a door for sliding movement along the track, and a flexible plastic track cap which fits over the track. The cap can be on a roll and the desired length of the cap can be cut off the roll and pressed over the top of the track. The cap replaces the conventional rigid steel cap.

1 . A sliding door track cap having a configuration to fit about a projecting track of a sliding door, the cap having a configuration to fit over the track of the sliding door, the cap comprising an elongate member which is sufficiently flexible to allow it to be stored and transported in a roll.  
   
   
       2 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is formed of plastic.  
   
   
       3 . The cap of  claim 1  formed with an elongate channel adapted to accommodate an upper part of the track.  
   
   
       4 . A sliding door sill comprising a floor, a track extending upwardly from the floor and adapted to support a sliding door which rides along the track, the track having an upper portion, and a cap which extends over the upper portion of the track, the cap comprising an elongate member which is sufficiently flexible to allow it to be stored and transported in a roll.  
   
   
       5 . The sill of  claim 4 , wherein the cap has an elongate channel adapted to accommodate an upper part of the track.  
   
   
       6 . The sill of  claim 5 , wherein the track has a wider top portion and a narrower stem portion.  
   
   
       7 . The sill of  claim 6 , wherein the cap extends over the track such that the portion of the cap abuts or is closely spaced from the floor of the sill from which the track extends.
