Abstract
A door assembly includes a door and a snap-on door sweep. The door sweep is attached to the door in an operative position with a gripping engagement to provide a seal between a bottom door surface and a door opening. The door sweep includes a pair of groove engaging portions fixed to longitudinally opposing sides of a bottom wall portion of the door sweep and extending inwardly in spaced relation thereto. One of the pair of groove engaging portions constitutes a resilient snap-on portion having a cam portion thereon. The pair of groove engaging portions are operatively engaged in horizontally extending grooves in the door when the door sweep is in the operative position thereof. The cam portion includes a cam surface extending outwardly as it extends upwardly relative to the door and engages the door at a position below one of the horizontally extending grooves so that the cam portion deflects outwardly as it is forced upwardly and rides along the door in the position below one of the horizontally extending grooves until the door sweep reaches the operative position thereof with a snap action in which the snap-on portion moves inwardly by virtue of the resiliency thereof and the cam portion fixed thereon is disposed within one of the horizontally extending grooves.
