The invention relates to a cover element for a hinge, which comprises at least one hinge area to be clad, in which blind hole-like recesses are formed, wherein the cover element comprises a plane base body for the outer cladding of the hinge area. The invention further relates to a hinge, in particular for a door, comprising at least one hinge axis element, a first hinge part and a second hinge part, which are connected to one another in a hinge-like manner via the at least one hinge axis element and at least one cover element with a plane base body for the outer cladding of a respective hinge area, wherein blind hole-like recesses are firmed in the hinge area of the respective hinge part to be clad.

A shower door assembly with translating glass door panels riding in a lower track and supported by an upper center guide with a locking mechanism providing that one glass door is locked in place while the other glass door is allowed to translate. A double bottom slider system and mechanism for a sliding door assembly allow the doors to translate relative to each other. A locking system located on the top portion of the lower track made up of an inner door gear element attached to a torque loading device with a protruding element in contact with the inner door panel meshed with an outer door gear element with a protruding element in contact with the outer door panel. The shower door assembly operates in the setting of sliding all glass shower door systems to lock one door in place while the other door is free to translate.

A hinge having a pair of bathtub mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub surround adjacent a door jamb and a pair of door mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub door, with articulating linkage extending between the bathtub mounting blocks and the door mounting blocks. The articulating linkage has a pair of bathtub arms that pivotally couple at a first end to the bathtub mounting blocks through a first pivot rod and pivotally couple at a second end to a pair of door arms through a second pivot rod. Each door arm pivotally couples at an opposite end to one of the door mounting blocks through a third pivot rod. A spring mounted about the first pivot rod enables the bathtub arms and the bathtub door to rise. A method of door closure and opening for a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

Apparatuses, such as shower door frame kits, for installing sliding shower door assemblies are provided. The apparatuses enable secure and convenient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies, while keeping water that may escape a shower area to a minimum. The apparatuses of the present disclosure also provide for efficient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies that can be completed with a single tool and/or in a single step. The apparatuses for installing sliding shower door assemblies may include one or more of a shower door header, a wall jamb, a shower header retainer, a shower door catcher, a roller assembly, a corner bracket, and a shower threshold.

A sliding door system including a wall cavity between a first wall lining and a second wall lining, a door frame adjacent the wall cavity, a guide extending across the top of the door frame and the top of the cavity, and a door panel suspended from carrying means supported by the guide, the guide including a plate, and two wings extending from the plate to define a cavity between the wings and the plate, characterised in that the cavity is closer to a second end of the plate than it is to a first end of the plate and that the distance from the door panel to the first wall lining is greater than the distance from the door panel to the second wall lining.

Hinges are disclosed including: a first hinge portion; a second hinge portion; a biasing means; and at least one hydraulic damper; the first and second hinge portions are connected together and are arranged to pivot with respect to one another about a hinge axis between an open condition and a closed condition; the biasing means is arranged to bias the hinge towards the closed condition; the at least one hydraulic damper is compressed from an extended condition to a retracted condition as the hinge moves from the open condition to the closed condition; at least one of the hinge portions is arranged to attach to a gate; and wherein the at least one damper is located outside of the gate and inside one of the hinge portions.

A hinge for a door, such a glass shower door, including a back plate attachable to a surface, a hinge block extending from the back plate, a clamp rotatably coupled to the hinge block for receiving the glass shower door, and a hinge limiter attached to one of a front or a back exterior surface of the hinge block. The hinge limiter may have a length equal to or less than a length of the hinge block and a width less than a width of the hinge block. The clamp may include a stop plate on an interior surface, adjacent to a distal end of the hinge block, adapted to contact the hinge limiter upon rotation of the clamp.

The present invention discloses a sliding rail type low-obstacle linkage shower room and an installation method thereof. The shower room includes an upper rail and a lower rail, a fixed glass, a primary shower glass and a secondary shower glass. The lower rail is correspondingly provided at the secondary shower glass. A sliding block unit is installed on the secondary shower glass. The sliding block unit includes a fixed portion, a sliding groove and a guidance sliding portion. The fixed portion is provided correspondingly to the secondary shower glass. The sliding groove is used for receiving the primary shower glass to form a linkage. The guidance sliding portion is glidingly engaged with the lower rail. The linkage shower room has a simple structure which can be easily manufactured.

A magnetically levitating door is disclosed herein. The door may have a magnet that is repelled from a magnet of a track. The track may be disposed adjacent to a door opening. The track may have a stabilizing roller to maintain vertical alignment of the magnets used to levitate the door off of the track.

There is described a door assembly for a bathing enclosure, comprising: a frame; a rotatable panel rotatably securable to a wall; and a slidable panel slidably secured to the frame, wherein a sliding motion of the slidable panel triggers a rotation of the rotatable panel, wherein the door assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein when the door assembly is in the closed position, the rotatable and slidable panels are adjacent to one another and are unparallel and wherein when the door assembly is in the open position, the rotatable and slidable panels overlap one another and are parallel together.
