Abstract

An apparatus for sealing an automatic elevator door against sound closes the small air gaps between a door post and a door leaf rear edge, between an abutment and the door leaf top edge, between abutting front edges of door leaves, between an inner door leaf front edge and outer door leaf rear edge in the case of telescopic doors, and between a door sill and a door leaf bottom edge. A post seal utilizes an elastic strip seal to close the post air gap. An abutment seal utilizes a sliding brush seal to close the abutment air gap. A door sill seal utilizes a labyrinth seal to close the sill air gap. A door edge seal utilizes a brush seal to close the front edge air gap. These seals close all the air gaps around the door leaves when the door is closed to prevent the ingress of sound of the noises produced mechanically outside the car.
