An overhead door (10) and associated mating panels (14) include enhanced wear surfaces and protection against the intrusion of climatic elements or the like in the form of a combined weather seal, light block and wear insert (12) on the upper and/or lower edges (16, 18) of the mating adjacent door panels (14). The wear surfaces are utilized during the opening and closing of the door (10) so that frictional interaction or rubbing between the mating edges (16, 18) is minimized to reduce wear and damage to the panels (14) over the service life of the door (10). Additionally, the wear insert portion (58, 60) reduces a gap (50) between the mating edges (16, 18) of the adjacent panels (14) to provide enhanced protection without requiring increased roll forming tolerances on the panel manufacturing process. Moreover, the invention includes upright projecting weather seal (64) and light blocking portions (66) that are positioned in a gap formed at the juncture of the mating panels. When the door (10) is closed, the weather seal and light blocking portions (64, 66) are deflected. The weather seal (64) provides a climatic barrier as well as inhibiting the passage of foreign material between the mated panels (14) and the light block (66) inhibits light from passing between the mated panels (14).

L'invention concerne une porte basculante (10) et des panneaux correspondants associés (14), comprenant des surfaces d'usure améliorées et un dispositif de protection contre l'introduction d'éléments climatiques ou d'autres éléments semblables, se présentant sous forme d'un joint d'étanchéité de protection contre les intempéries, d'un dispositif de blocage de la lumière et d'un insert (12) d'usure combinés sur les bords supérieur et/ou inférieur (16, 18) des panneaux de porte correspondants adjacents (14). Les surfaces d'usure sont utilisées au cours de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la porte (10) de manière que l'interaction par friction ou le frottement entre les bords correspondants (16, 18) soient minimisés afin de réduire l'usure et la dégradation des panneaux (14) sur la durée de vie utile de la porte (10). De plus, l'insert (12) d'usure permet de réduire l'espace (50) entre les bords correspondants (16, 18) des panneaux adjacents (14) afin d'obtenir une plus grande protection sans nécessiter de tolérances au profilage supérieures du procédé de fabrication des panneaux. L'invention concerne en outre un joint d'étanchéité de protection contre les intempéries verticalement saillant (64) et un dispositif (66) de blocage de la lumière positionnés dans un espace formé à l'emboîture des panneaux correspondants. Lorsque la porte (10) est fermée, le joint d'étanchéité de protection contre les intempéries et les sections (64, 66) de blocage de la lumière sont déviés. Le joint d'étanchéité (64) de protection contre les intempéries constitue une barrière climatique et empêche le passage de corps étrangers entre les panneaux assemblés (14), et le dispositif (66) de blocage de la lumière empêche la lumière de passer entre les panneaux assemblés (14).
