Abstract:
A mounting assembly for operatively mounting one or more glass shower door panels to one or more panels is described. The mounting assembly includes an elongate guide assembly adapted for receiving and retaining a carriage assembly for mounting a reciprocating glass shower door; and a mounting assembly including one or more end mounting devices for mounting one or more ends of the elongate guide assembly perpendicular to one or more glass panels or walls. Also described is a mounting assembly including an elongate guide assembly adapted for receiving and retaining a carriage assembly for mounting a reciprocating glass shower door; and one or more spaced guide mounting devices for connecting the guide assembly to an adjacent parallel panel and spacing the guide assembly a selected distance from and parallel to the adjacent parallel glass wall panel to provide access between the parallel glass wall panel and guide assembly for cleaning.
Abstract:
A header assembly for a movable partition includes an overhead track and a header pan. The header pan is configured to extend from the overhead track to an adjoining structure. The header pan, the overhead track, or a combination of both may form a fire-resistant barrier extending from a wall of the adjoining structure to an opposing wall of the adjoining structure. Movable partition systems may include header assemblies. Methods of forming header assemblies include positioning a header pan proximate to an overhead track and extending the header pan between a first wall and a second wall to at least substantially occlude a section of space therebetween. Methods of installing a movable partition include securing an overhead track to an overhead support structure, securing a retainer clip to an adjoining structure, extending a header pan from the overhead track to the retainer clip, and suspending a partition from the track.
Abstract:
A sliding door with reversible hand configurations can include a plurality of mounting locations along a top and a bottom edge thereof. The plurality of mounting locations can be configured to allow the sliding door to selectively hang and operate according to multiple orientations in order to satisfy site-specific handedness requirements. In one implementation, the sliding door includes a door frame and mounting hardware for selectively mounting the sliding door to a roller track affixed near the upper portion of a doorway.
Abstract:
A glass supporting assembly for a motor vehicle door with an unframed upper edge is provided with a fixed structure and a frame, which has at least one guide to support and guide a glass and is connectable to the door in such a way as to make it tiltable about a substantially horizontal axis of adjustment; a slot is obtained in a tangential direction in relation to the axis of adjustment in one of either the fixed structure or the frame, and is slidingly engaged by a pin with an axis orthogonal to the tangential direction; the pin is carried by the other of either the fixed structure or the frame, carries a screwed locking nut, and is axially rotatable; the rotational motion of the pin is converted into translational motion by a positioning device to position the pin along the slot.
Abstract:
A forward-moving mechanism of a movable body is provided with a receiving member placed movably inside a main body placed in a recessed area provided on either one of a movable body or a stationary body supporting the movable body to be capable of reciprocal movement, and linked to an assisting device for enabling the movable body to move forward up to a prescribed position; and a contact body provided on the other of the movable body and the stationary body contacting with the receiving member and moving inside the main body in the process of forward movement of the movable body. An area for movement of the receiving member in the main body includes a wall part for guiding the movement of the receiving member, and a device for preventing deformation of the wall part is provided adjacent to the wall part.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the suspension of a door leaf of a sliding door in rail-bound, mass transportation vehicles, such as underground railways, passenger train cars, means of local public transportation, and the like. The suspension mechanism includes carrying rollers in a carrying rail arranged in the upper region of the door leaf or above the door leaf. The invention includes a steel insert having an at least substantially circular track inserted into the carrying rail; the carrying rollers are designed as steel rollers having a concave cross-sectional shape on the running surface, and an adjustment roller is provided, which abuts the adjustment surface of the carrying rail opposite of the steel insert under preload.

Abstract:
An enclosure system includes a set of independent panels (1 and 2) which slide longitudinally along an upper guide rail (11) and a lower guide rail (12), in which the weight of each panel rests uniformly and longitudinally along the length of the lower rail (12). The upper rail (11) has a rectangular cross-section and an opening (25) in the lower part thereof. The lower rail (12) is rectangular and the upper part thereof is partially open (24) and delimited by two equidistant sides provided with notches (20) in which Teflon strips (4) are engaged, the panels (2) moving on the strips. Each of the panels (1 and 2) includes a tempered glass pane (10). The upper part of the rotation shaft includes a T-guide screw (5), a rotation guide (6) and a cylindrical part (7) and the lower part thereof includes a screw (16) and a lower guide (15).
Abstract:
In an aspect, the invention is directed to a window regulator assembly that includes a carrier, a set of lifter plates, a drive motor and drive cables for operatively connecting the drive motor to the lifter plates. At least one rail may be integral with the carrier. The carrier has a carrier seal that is co-molded therewith. The carrier has a pulley assembly thereon that includes a pulley and a pulley bearing member that has a pulley bending load bearing surface that is conical and that mates with a carrier bending load bearing surface that is inner-conical. The lifter plate is capable of a relatively strong connection to a vehicle window. The lifter plate has a window pass-through member that passes through a locking aperture in the vehicle window. The window pass-through member has two ends and is supported at both ends against vertical withdrawal of the vehicle window. The lifter plate also has a reduced tendency to bind when in use. The lifter plate has lateral engagement surfaces that are for engagement with lateral guide surfaces and has cable mounts for receiving drive cables. The cable mounts are positioned laterally between the lateral engagement surfaces. Additionally, the vehicle window lifter plate has lateral engagement surfaces that are for engagement with lateral guide surfaces. The lateral engagement surfaces are biased against the lateral guide surfaces, thereby giving the lifter plate the capability to accommodate lateral forces with a reduced tendency to bind. A wiring harness clip for holding wiring harnesses to the carrier is provided. The wiring harness clip has two clip elements that together define a wiring harness retaining aperture in a longitudinal direction and an inlet thereto. The wiring harness inlet is canted to a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal direction. The perpendicular spacing between the two clip elements is larger than the distance between them in the transverse direction.
