    Abstract: A drainage system for horizontally sliding closures, especially horizontally sliding closures having a solid sill such as is typical with patio doors and the like. The drainage system includes a valve assembly having a top wall, opposed end walls and a side wall that defines a drainage aperture. The drainage aperture is normally closed by a flap which permits water to drain through the valve assembly but inhibits the infiltration of outside air. The valve assembly is mounted over a drainage slot cut through the fixed rail. To ensure most efficient drainage performance, the fixed rail must be vented. This is preferably accomplished by replacing the usual end caps for the fixed rail with slotted end caps which maintain the internal air pressure in the fixed rail at substantially atmospheric pressure. The advantage is a simple, inexpensive very effective drainage system which is suitable for new product and the retrofit of installed doors and/or windows.

    Abstract translation: 用于水平滑动闭合件的排水系统,特别是具有固体门坎的水平滑动闭合件,如典型的露台门等。 排水系统包括具有顶壁,相对端壁和限定排水孔的侧壁的阀组件。 排水孔通常由挡板封闭,允许水通过阀组件排出,但是抑制外部空气的渗透。 阀组件安装在穿过固定轨道的排水槽上。 为了确保最有效的排水性能,固定轨道必须通风。 这最好通过用固定导轨的通常的端盖替换开槽的端盖来实现,这些端盖将固定导轨中的内部空气压力保持在基本大气压。 优点是一种简单,廉价的非常有效的排水系统,适用于新产品和安装的门和/或窗户的改造。
