HINGE
A hinge having a first hinge part and a second hinge part. The second hinge part has a hinge pin to which the first hinge part is connected for movement relative to the second hinge part about a hinge axis between a closed position. An over-close mechanism is provided comprising a catch member on the second hinge part arranged to co-operate with the first hinge part to urge the first hinge part towards the closed position during closing movement of the first hinge part and to retain the first hinge part arrange to co-operate with the hinge pin to urge the first hinge part towards the closed position during closing movement. A soft-close mechanism is provided comprising a damper member on the first hinge part arranged to co-operate with the hinge pin to provide a braking force in the direction of closing.
APPARATUSES FOR INSTALLING GLASS SHOWER DOORS
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.
Shower door hinge assembly
A hinge assembly includes a first hinged body, a pivot pin assembly, and a second hinged body. The first hinged body includes a channel. The pivot pin assembly includes a pin body configured to slideably engage the channel. The pivot pin assembly may be translated within the channel and adjustably secured along the channel. The pin body includes a downwardly extending pin. The second hinged body comprises a pin aperture configured to cooperatively receive the pin. The first hinged body and the second hinged body are configured to hingedly pivot along a hinge axis defined by the pin when the pin is received in the pin aperture. The pin body may include a pin body aperture configured to receive an alignment fastener such that the pin body may be tilt adjusted relative to the first hinged body.
SLIDING PANEL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A sliding panel system is disclosed. The system includes a fitting assembly designed to fixedly secure a first panel to an elongate rail member, and a carrier assembly designed to moveably secure a second panel to the elongate rail member. The system facilitates the lateral movement of the second panel with respect to the first panel. The carrier assembly includes at least one carrier unit including a housing with an inner volume, at least one roller unit configured in an upper portion of the inner volume, at least one guide member configured in the inner volume, and an opening extending across the front of the housing and adapted to receive a longitudinal portion of the rail member. The at least one roller unit and the at least one guide member are concealed within the housing when the housing is viewed from a perspective perpendicular to the front of the housing.
RETRACTABLE CURVED SHOWER DOOR
A retractable curved door assembly includes a spring-loaded roller assembly having a reel structure configured to rotate about an axis of rotation thereof, a rail extending away from the spring-loaded roller assembly in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the reel structure with at least a portion of the rail curving about an axis arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the reel structure, a door end structure slidably engaging the rail, a flexible screen coupled to the reel structure and to the door end structure, and a tension element coupled to the reel structure and the door end structure. A greater tensile force is applied to the tension element than to the flexible screen when the door end structure is slid along the rail in a direction away from the spring-loaded roller assembly to prevent buckling of the flexible screen.
Anti-derailing device for sliding door
An anti-derailing device for a sliding door, including slide rollers on upper edges of two sides of the sliding door, anti-bounce rollers below the slide rollers, rail supporting bases on a fixed door in front of the sliding door, and a rail fixed on opposite outer sides of the sliding door and the fixed door and clamped between the rollers. Each roller includes a fixed part and a first adjusting part which includes a first eccentric roller combined with the fixed part, each roller includes a fixing part and a second adjusting part which includes a second eccentric roller combined with the fixing part, and each rail supporting base includes a positioning part and a holding part for holding the rail. By adjusting positions of the rollers and without pre-machined holes, the sliding door can operate balanced and smoothly and prevent the rail from derailing.
Slow Close Mechanism for Sliding Applications
A sliding door includes a frame and a slow close assembly. The frame is positioned along at least a portion of the sliding door and includes a protrusion configured to slide along with the sliding door. The slow close assembly is repositionable between an outward position and a compressed position. The slow close assembly includes a slow close mechanism, a spring, and a soft close latch. The slow close mechanism is laterally positioned within the slow close assembly. The spring is positioned at an end of the slow close assembly and provides an outward force onto the slow close assembly in an outward direction substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction. The soft close latch is configured to engage the protrusion as the protrusion slides along with the sliding door. The spring biases the slow close assembly into the outward position when the latch is not interfaced with the protrusion.
Foldable screen and shower room
A foldable screen and a shower room are provided. The foldable screen includes a transmission gear mechanism and a plurality of panel bodies arranged in sequence. End portions of two adjacent sides of two adjacent panel bodies enclose to form a mounting opening into which the transmission gear mechanism is installed for realizing folding and unfolding of the plurality of panel bodies. The transmission gear mechanism includes a housing having a receiving cavity therein, the housing being installed in the mounting opening; a first gear located in the receiving cavity and installed on one of the two adjacent panel bodies; and a second gear meshed with the first gear, the second gear being located in the receiving cavity and installed on the other of the two adjacent panel bodies.
Mounting assembly
An adjustable mounting assembly includes a wall channel; an adjustment channel fitting within the wall channel; and a connection means arranged to adjustably connect the adjustment channel to the wall channel. The connection means includes a fixing block, with a first aperture therethrough, arranged to fit within the wall channel and between the wall and adjustment channels, the first aperture arranged to receive a wall fixing member arranged to pass through the base of the wall channel so as to secure the fixing block to the wall channel; and an adjustable fixing member arranged to secure the adjustment channel to the fixing block, a head of the adjustable fixing member being within the adjustment channel in use; wherein movement of the adjustable fixing member is arranged to allow movement of the adjustment channel, and the adjustment channel is arranged to receive a profile strip to cover the adjustable fixing member.
Hinge
The invention relates to a hinge for a swinging door, the hinge has 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, at least one latching arrangement, which comprises at least one latching means arranged at the second hinge part and comprising a latching body, and at least one latching recess arranged at the hinge axis element, wherein the latching means is configured such that the latching body engages in the latching recess in a latching position, and a clamping means for releasably fixing the hinge axis element to the first hinge part, wherein an angular position of the hinge axis element and the latching recess with respect to the first hinge part can be adjusted. The clamping means comprises at least one pair of clamping jaws for clamping the hinge axis element between these clamping jaws, wherein each of the clamping jaws comprises a clamping surface adapted to the contour of the hinge axis element.
