Abstract:
A supporting roller assembly for a sliding closure, such as a sliding screen door, movable along a track and having an edge channel opening toward said track. The roller assembly has a bracket positioned in the edge channel of the panel, an arm pivoted at one end on the bracket and mounting a track engaging roller at its other end, and a spring for urging the roller toward the track. The invention provides a novel adjustable limit stop for limiting movement of the roller arm away from the track. The described stop is a plunger slidable in the bracket and urged by a spring into contact with the roller arm and a lock screw accessible from the outside of the panel for adjustably securing the plunger in fixed position. The lock screw also serves to secure the roller assembly on the channel.
