A second embodiment of a cross member 1 according to the invention is shown in Figure 10. This is a niche door. In this embodiment, the same parts are given the same reference numbers, so that only the differences from the one described above are shown below

first embodiment.

This niche door can, for example, be installed in a brick niche. To the left and right of the next door there is a brick wall (in the figure

10 not shown).

In Figure 10, the cross member 1 is shown without an end plate 13. This end plate 13 is shown in Figure 11.

The end plate 13 corresponds essentially to the end plate 13 described in connection with the first embodiment and is attached to a base plate 54. However, the end plate 13 is equipped with two additional holes 55, 56, which also extend through the base plate 54. Furthermore, a wall plate 57 is provided for contact with the side of the base plate 54 opposite the end plate 13. In this wall plate 57, two horizontally arranged elongated holes 58 are provided, the distance between which is approximately the distance between the through holes

55, 56 corresponds.

To install the niche door, two holes are first drilled in a brick wall or similar, into which dowels 59 are inserted. Then screws 60 mm through

the through holes 55.56 and the elongated holes 58 in

the dowels 59 are screwed in. This secures the end plate 13 to the wall. The end plate 13 is then included, as described in connection with the first embodiment

connected to the crossbar 1.

In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the crossbar 1 is attached to a side glass wall 61. Lens screws 62 are used for this purpose and are screwed into an internal thread of a connection piece 30 through through holes 55, 56 in the end plate 13 and elongated holes 58 in the wall plate 57. These connectors 30 are mounted on a clamping plate 47 and extend approximately perpendicular to it. In the side glass wall 61 (FIG. 12) there are two continuous glass bores opposite the cross member 1, through which the connectors 30 extend from the outside. When the lens screws 62 are tightened, the end plate 13 is pulled against the side glass wall 61. The side glass wall 61 is placed between the wall plate 57

End plate 13 and clamping plate 47 pressed.
