Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shower door and, more particularly, to an expansion-based shower door assembly with frame reinforcement and noise reduction.
- a shower door generally stands about two meters in height, a frame of which is a bar shaped component of around two meters in length. When installed, these frames are often fitted over one another, and are fixed on both ends (generally leaving out the middle section) by tools such as a screw.
- tools such as a screw.
- One of the existing solutions involves drilling with a drill at the middle section of two frames a hole through which a screw may be inserted to provide extra retention. Yet this will incur added cost of preparing a frame with sufficient surface for such drilling, as well as added manpower (at least two persons will be required) and labor time for the drilling. Moreover, drilling tends to damage the surface of the frame (often made of aluminum or aluminum alloy), which can spoil the look of, or even completely destroy, the final product, burdening the user with even more cost.
- Another solution involves adding rubber strips into the clearance between the frames.
- the associated problem is related to the difficulty of trimming such a strip to an optimum dimension and installing the strip properly, because the strip is very thin and flexible. Besides, a part of the strip may be exposed, spoiling the general artistic design.
- CN201850938U discloses an installation and adjusting device for a sliding door of a shower room according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the installation and adjusting device for the sliding door of the shower room comprises a wall mounted frame with a first cavity, an adjusting frame with a second cavity, and a fixing elastic block installed in the second cavity and provided with a third cavity, wherein a concave side wall of the second cavity and a concave side wall of the third cavity form two buckling installation grooves, and the wall mounted frame is buckled in the buckling installation groove through a concave side wall of the first cavity.

- the connecting element employed in the present invention will not be exposed to an external viewer, thereby preserving the general artistic design.
- FIG. 1 shows the main parts of an exemplary shower door assembly of the present invention, which includes a first frame 10, a second frame 20 and a connecting element 30. While the shower door assembly depicted in this embodiment includes two connecting elements 30, the actual number of connecting elements to be included will be based on the length of the frame, and preferably each 1 m section of a frame includes one connecting element 30.
- the first frame 10 is mounted abutting on a wall.
- the second frame 20 is adjustable, and may be connected with a glass sheet, a track or other shower door components.

Description
- The present invention relates to a shower door and, more particularly, to an expansion-based shower door assembly with frame reinforcement and noise reduction.
- A shower door generally stands about two meters in height, a frame of which is a bar shaped component of around two meters in length. When installed, these frames are often fitted over one another, and are fixed on both ends (generally leaving out the middle section) by tools such as a screw. However, it is often difficult for existing manufacturing processes to ensure a tight fit between such socketed frames, leaving an over-wide clearance in between, which can give way to excessive free play between individual frames. Consequently, opening or closing a door with poor frame fit is likely to be accompanied with undesirable collision between the frames, making extra noise that could be unpleasant to a user.
- One of the existing solutions involves drilling with a drill at the middle section of two frames a hole through which a screw may be inserted to provide extra retention. Yet this will incur added cost of preparing a frame with sufficient surface for such drilling, as well as added manpower (at least two persons will be required) and labor time for the drilling. Moreover, drilling tends to damage the surface of the frame (often made of aluminum or aluminum alloy), which can spoil the look of, or even completely destroy, the final product, burdening the user with even more cost.
- Another solution involves adding rubber strips into the clearance between the frames. The associated problem is related to the difficulty of trimming such a strip to an optimum dimension and installing the strip properly, because the strip is very thin and flexible. Besides, a part of the strip may be exposed, spoiling the general artistic design.
