A mounting system for mounting a door for movement adjacent an opening in a wall structure includes a cleat having a central web and two sides, a track plate having a central web and two sides, a track attached to the track plate, and at least one fastener for attaching the cleat to the wall structure. When mounted, the cleat extends lengthwise above the opening and engages drywall, the at least one fastener extends through at least one aperture defined by the cleat web and engages at least one stud(s) and/or header of the wall structure, and the first side of the track plate engages the first side of the cleat. A related door mounting method includes mounting a cleat to the wall structure, hanging a track plate on the cleat, securing the track plate to the cleat, and hanging the door on the track plate.

A system for guiding and supporting a leaf of a platform-access door capable of moving relative to a fixed panel in a horizontal translational movement in a plane of the leaf between open and closed positions, includes a rail extending in a direction of the horizontal translational movement, a first set of rollers collaborating with the rail with and being made up of: a main roller in contact with a lower bearing surface of the rail; first and second secondary rollers which are vertically offset from one another and are respectively in contact with the lower bearing surface and with an upper bearing surface of the rail and are spaced from the main roller.

Disclosed is a low profile, adjustable, soft close hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm and a hinge link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. A spring biases the hinge to a closed position. The hinge body is adjustably connected to an inner frame with an overlay adjustment screw and depth adjustment cam. The inner frame releasably connects the hinge body to a mounting plate. A stop bracket is adjustably and slidably connected to the hinge body by a cam. The adjustable position of the stop bracket relative to the hinge body determines the point at which the damping functionality of a damper begins during a hinge closing movement. A linkage sub-assembly pivotally connects the damper to the hinge link.

There is provided a device to rotationally secure a member with respect to a base. The member is connected to an axle having an ellipse-shaped cross section through an elliptical or truncated-oval cavity for receiving the axle. As the member rotates, different tensions are experienced by the spring based on the orientation of the ellipse-shaped cross section with respect to the orientation of the cavity, thereby providing preferred orientations for the rotating member.

The invention relates to a device for securing panes of glass for sliding doors, made up of a rear plate (3) on which a rolling element (2) is supported which is configured to enable the movement of the securing device (1) along a profile (F) of a sliding door (P); and a first front plate (4) and a second front plate (5) facing the rear plate (3) and able to be coupled to it, defining an intermediate mortise (7) for securing a pane of glass (H). Said securing device (1) comprises a third front plate (6) facing the rear plate (3) and able to be coupled to it, arranged between the first front plate (4) and the second front plate (5).

A mechanical adaptation to a vehicle power window controls is provided that require less hand/finger coordination and less force to actuate, therefore becoming useful for persons with limited control of their hands (e.g., arthritis, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury, among others). A power window control includes four levers, one on each control switch. Two of the levers are long and the other two are shorter. The long levers are provided on the two switches further away from the user (which control the front and rear left side windows). The short levers are attached to the two switches closer to the user (which control the front and rear right side windows). The base of each lever can be attached to the corresponding switch through a heavy-duty double-sided tape, where for flat switches, the lever is attached directly to the switch surface and for contoured switches, an adapter can be provided between the base of the lever and the surface of the power window switch.

A sliding door roller assembly includes a roller housing being at least partially disposed within an outer housing moveable relative to the roller housing and at least one roller wheel in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the at least one roller wheel. At least one resilient member is positioned at an end of the outer housing, and includes a fixed termination section coupled to an end member of the outer housing, a compliant section extending from the fixed termination section, a curved engagement section, and a resilient section between the compliant section and the curved engagement section and pivotable about the compliant section. The at least one resilient member is flexible from a first position to a second position when the curved engagement section mates with an inner surface of a slot defining a bottom edge of a panel secured to the outer housing to provide a holding force between the resilient member and the inner surface of the slot.

A hinge for a piece of furniture including at least one shoulder and at least one door, said hinge having a first hinge body and a second hinge body, where the first hinge body is connectable to the at least one shoulder of the piece of furniture and the second hinge body is connectable to the at least one door of the piece of furniture, wherein the first hinge body and the second hinge body are operatively connected to each other and relatively movable by means of adjustment means, where one of the first hinge body and the second hinge body includes a cross element, and the other of the first hinge body or the second hinge body defines a cross guide, where the cross element is housed in the cross guide, and where the cross element slides in the cross guide by means of the adjustment means.
