Description

"Sliding door for a shower enclosure" The subject of the invention is

sliding door for

  shower enclosure with at least two sliding doors

  suspended by means of rollers or skids in a horizontal upper fixed rail and guided on or in a horizontal lower fixed

  at least one upper and lower crossbeam

  pool. The object of the invention is to provide a sliding door for a shower enclosure of the aforementioned type, so that the drive mechanism provided between

  two neighboring leaves are of simple construction and

  shaped so that it can also be installed on all-glass leaves, which are only provided with an upper and lower frame cross member, and that these door leaves can be

cleaned easily.

  This object is achieved in that one of the sliding door leaves shows, in the zone of the ends of the upper horizontal frame crossbar, stop pieces for a cleat of the neighboring door leaf and in

  the cleat is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis

  zontal By pivoting the cleat around this axis

  hozizontal, we obtain the displacement of the training wing.

  Place the cleat out of the vicinity of the shut-off parts of the neighboring leaf, so that the leafs can be pulled out beyond the stop positions. All parts of the leafs are easily accessible for cleaning.

  In an advantageous embodiment of the invention,

  vention, the cleat is provided at one end at the end of

  the upper horizontal frame of the van-

  gate and between the cleat and the end

  at the end, is disposed a profiled piece of synthetic material which is provided with a notch for housing

a stop projection.

  The cleat will therefore be stopped in the position of

  by engaging this stop protrusion in a notch in the plastic profile piece If the drive wing is to be moved out of the vicinity of the stop parts of the neighboring leaf, the cleat is rotated around of a horizontal axis, so that the force and form locking between the cleat and the workpiece

contoured so be overcome.

  Anyway, the invention will be well understood and other features will be highlighted using

  of the description which follows, with reference to the schematic drawing

  attached text representing, as non-limita-

  Figs. 1 is a partial view, in vertical section, of a sliding door for a shower enclosure provided with three sliding leaves; Figure 2 is a plan view of a sliding door for a shower enclosure with two sliding leaves; Figure 3 is a view along the arrow III of Figure 2;

  Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the former

  end of a door leaf with the associated cleat

  ted; Figure 5 is a sectional view along V-V of Figure 1; Figure 6 is an alternative embodiment of the form

Figure 4.

  The door leaves shown in the figures are all glass leaves and show a window (1), whose upper horizontal edge is mounted in a cross frame (2) and whose lower horizontal edge is mounted in a cross member. 'frame not shown, while the vertical side edges of

  the window (1) remain free, that is to say without frame

  is lying. The crossbar (2) is provided on its side opposite the window (1), a C-shaped anchoring groove, in

  which engages the fixing foot (3) of corresponding shape.

  of a support (4) on which a roller (5) is

  rotatably mounted, which roller is suspended in a sliding

  guide seat (6) of a horizontal and fixed upper rail (7) The lower horizontal frame cross member of the leaf is provided with guide rods which engage in guide grooves of a fixed lower rail. In the embodiment of Figure 2, wherein the sliding door of the shower enclosure is provided with two sliding leaves (8) and (9), the leaf (8) shows in the end zone; of the upper horizontal crossbar (2), stop parts (10) which, as shown in Figure 3, are in the form of a rubber or plastics buffer and which are anchored with the aid of an attachment head (11) in a corresponding stop notch of a block (12) attached to the

crossbeam (2).

  The door leaf (9) is equipped on one side,

  in the end zone at the end of the crossing of

  (2), a cleat (13) pivotally mounted around a

  horizontal axis (14) on the door leaf.

  The cleat (13) shows a drive wing (15) and a vertical wing (16) and a through hole (17) for a fixing screw (18). The longitudinal axis of the fixing screw constitutes the pivot axis of the cleat.

  Between the cleat (13) and the side of the tread

  pour (2) is arranged a profii piece The plastic (19) This profiled piece is provided with a notch (20) for housing a stop projection (21) of the vertical wing (16) of the cleat The positiom of operation

  cleat (13), which is shown as uninterrupted

  in Figures 1 and 2, is ensured by the commitment

  protrusion (21) in the notch (20).

  In operation, the drive wing (15) engages in the space between the stop pieces (10), so that the drive wing encounters a stop piece (10) in each step of moving the leaf (9) and that the door leaf (8) is driven during the

following the movement of the leaf (9).

  In the exemplary embodiment shown, a bushing (22) is inserted into the through hole (17) of the cleat, which may be made of metal, and the threaded rod of the fastening screw is inserted into this bushing.

  fastening is screwed into a threaded groove (23), delimits

  placed by the crossbar (2) and the support (4).

  The profiled piece of synthetic material (19) shows,

  at its lower end, bars (24) which surround

  the edge of the window, so that the room benefits

lée is mounted fixed in rotation.

  In FIG. 1, it is shown that the cleat (13) can be brought, by pivoting, into a position in which the drive wing (15) no longer cooperates with the

  Such a position of the cleat is

  mixed lines in Figure 1.

  It also follows from Figure 1 that the sliding door for a shower enclosure can also be equipped

  three sliding door leaves.

  In this construction, one of the outer leaves corresponds to the leaf (8) of FIG.

  middle- (25) shows, at one end end of the

  a top bracket (13) is provided with a top frame, while stop pieces (10) are provided on the side, opposite to the drive wing, of the upper frame beam in the end zone, stoppers with which the drive wing of the cleat (13) of the

external leaf t 26) cooperates.

  In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a curved elastic washer (27) provided with a trailing opening for the threaded rod of the fixing screw

  ("t), is provided between the profiled part (19) and the end

  at the end of the horizontal frame cross

higher than- (2).

  This elastic washer is, in the exemplary embodiment shown, partly mounted in a recess (28) of the profiled piece (19) This elastic washer ensures that, during the pivoting of the cleat (13)

  around the horizontal axis (14), the part (19) is moved

  axially against the effect of the spring washer (27) Due to this washer (27), the stop projection (21) can be carefully removed from its

  housing notch (20) in the profile piece (19).
