Abstract: A dock seal construction for a building having a door opening and side wall portions located to the sides of the door opening, the dock seal including a pair of elongated pad members secured on the side wall portions, a resilient flexible core in each of the pad members, a casing surrounding a substantial portion of the peripheries of the pad members, with the pad members each having an inclined outer side spaced from its respective side wall portion which extends at a slant toward the door opening so as to provide a relatively small amount of flexible core which is compressed by the rear of a truck.

Abstract: A seal construction for a dock leveler having a platform with opposite sides which moves vertically relative to the sides of a pit, including a pair of curtain members each having first and second opposite edges, with the first edges removably attached to the sides of the platform and the second edges removably attached to the sides of the pit, the curtain members sealing the clearance openings between the sides of the platform and the sides of the pit and also sealing the opening which would otherwise be produced between the sides of the pit and the platform when the latter is in an elevated position.
