Abstract: A shower device includes an elongated hollow waterway, a spray head configured to emit water, and a valve. The elongated hollow waterway extends in a longitudinal direction and has a first end configured to receive water, a second end, and an internal fluid passage extending from the first end to the second end. The second end has a port extending in a radial direction from the internal fluid passage through the waterway. The valve is configured to control a water flow rate from the internal fluid passage of the waterway to the spray head. The valve includes a valve body that surrounds the port and a control member operatively coupled to the valve body and surrounding at least a portion of the valve body. Rotation of the control member and valve body relative to the waterway provides a variable adjustment of the water flow rate to the spray head.

Abstract: A shower door assembly includes a first door panel, defining a hole in an upper portion thereof, and a bracket assembly. The bracket assembly includes a bracket having opposing first and second bracket flanges, each bracket flange defining a plurality of corresponding holes at different positions above a bottom end of the bracket flange. The bracket assembly further includes a bushing having opposing first and second bushing flanges, each bushing flange defining a mounting hole. The bracket assembly further includes an axle and a roller. Each bushing flange engages an opposite side of the first door panel and each bracket flange engages a bushing flange. The axle extends through a hole in each bracket flange, a mounting hole in each bushing flange, and the hole in the first door panel. The roller is rotatably coupled to the axle.

Abstract: A shower door assembly includes a header, a door, and an elongated member. The header includes a track and a channel disposed above the track. The door is in moving engagement with the track. The elongated member is received within and slidably coupled to the channel and is configured to be moved within the channel between a first position to allow for removal of the door from the track, and a second position to substantially impede upright movement of the door when the door is moved along the track between an open and a closed position.

Abstract: An elongated member for a shower door assembly includes a protrusion configured to be received within a channel of a header to slidably couple the elongated member to the header. The elongated member is configured to be slid within the channel between a first position to allow for a shower door to be installed onto, or removed from, the header and a second position to substantially impede upright movement of the shower door when the shower door is moved along the header.
