GEQRGE RISK INVENTORS JOSEPHHE. soT:R,& RAYMOND c ROOT ATTQRNEY United States Patent 3,300,900 PIVOTAL DOOR CONSTRUCTION AND METHOD George Risk, Raymond C. Root, and Joseph E. Sotir,

Columbus, Nebr., assignors to Loup Engineering Company, Columbus, Nebn, a corporation of Nebraska Filed Dec. 21, 1964, Ser. No. 419,965 6 Claims. (Cl. 49381) This invention relates to a novel pivotal construction for gates and doors. In particular, this invention provides a sturdy and easy to install pivotal connection between a gate or door and an upright post-like jamb support therefor, said pivotal construction being especially desirable for tub and shower enclosures.

In the bathroom fixture industry, apivotal door is commonly installed into the doorway opening of a tub or shower enclosure. The typical shower door structure comprises a thin translucent rectangular pane securely bounded by four channeled rail frames, the respective frames intersecting one another in a bevelled-comer relationship. The shower door is then pivotably connected to a post-like jamb uprightly supported along one side of the doorway opening. The bathroom fixture industry has generally employed conventional two-plate hinges, comprising two perforate plates revolvably attached to an intervening hinge pin, as the means for pivotably connecting the shower door to the upright post-like jamb.

While the conventional two-plate hinge is admirably well suited both functionally and economically in the preponderance of door constructions, this general suitability does not extend to tub and shower enclosures. For example, because a continuous flow of water is directed from a shower head toward the pivotal connection between the shower door and its post-like jamb, the junc ture of the shower door and its jamb should be substantially leak-proof. However, heavy-duty hinges do, by virtue of the plate thickness, physically separate the shower door from its jamb. Further, this physical separation limits the aesthetic appeal of a shower door construction, the trend in the bathroom fixture industry being to beautify the various fixtures. When two-plate hinges are employed, there is an inherent limitation in the designability of aesthetically attractive jambs and doors without impairment of the pivotal relationship therebetween.

Another disadvantage of the two-plate hinge in the bathroom fixture trade resides in that it is extremely difficult for a lone operator to install a high quality pivotal connection wherein the jamb and the adjacent upright door frame are parallel as well as vertical. Further, the bottom frame of the door must be installed a prescribed distance from and parallel to the base of the doorway. This is because there is a gutter plate along the bottom of the door, either attached to the doorway floor or to the bottom door frame, to prevent water leakage from the bottom. It must be remembered that the lone installer is not only an economic necessity in the trade, but also, there is only so much room available in the average bathroof for installation personnel. Because typically employed shower doors are quite thin (about /2 inch) yet large and heavy, it is practically impossible for a lone installer, utilizing a plurality of two plate hinges, to install the door in the required horizontal and vertical relationship to a previously installed upright jamb. Consequently, it is accepted procedure for the jamb and door to be pivotably connected with two-plate hinges beforehand in the shower door factory, and then for the lone installer to uprightly attach the post-like jamb component along one side of the doorway opening. However, this factory assembled structure is likewise large and heavy, and is therefore, quite cumbersome for one man to handle. It is almost as awkward for the lone installer to attach the post-like jamb so that it is in the required horizontal and vertical position as it would be to pivotably connect the door to a previously positioned upright jamb utilizing conventional two-plate hinges. Further, when such factory-assembled structures are employed, a double inventory must be carried so that the door can be mounted in either right-hand or left-hand fashion, depending upon the layout of the bathroom site.

It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a pivotal door construction that may be installed within a doorway opening without the use of two-plate hinges.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a pivotal door construction that is especially adaptable to the bathroom fixture industry wherein it is economically and practically desirable that the door jamb be first vertically or uprightly positioned, and that the door be subsequently pivotably connected to the previously positioned jamb.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a pivotal door construction that may be easily and quickly installed by but one operator on location.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a pivotal door construction wherein there is minimal space between the jamb and door so as to result in a leak-proof and aesthetically appealing structure.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an upright post-like door jamb from which a door may be pivotally hung in either a left-hand or righthand fashion, said jamb automatically and inherently maintaining said pivotal door a prescribed distance above the base of the doorway.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a shower door that may be readily measured and positioned along one side of the shower enclosure doorway without the necessity of simultaneously handling both the door and jamb.

These and other objects and advantages are accomplished by means of a novel elongate door jamb, said jamb including an integrally attachable lower tab and an integrally attachable upper terminal plate, said tab and plate having outward extensions toward a door, the door being revolvably supported by the tab and plate outward extensions.

In the drawing, which illustrates the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and in which like numbers refer to like parts in the several views:

FIGURE 1 is an exploded view of the pivotal door construction of the present invention, this exploded view being particularly appropriate to illustrate the preferred method of assembling the several parts of the pivotal door construction.

FIGURE 3 is a sectional View of the pivotal door construction taken along line 3-3 of FIGURE 2.

FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of the terminal plate component of the pivotal door construction.

FIGURE 5 is a top plan view of the lower tab component of the pivotal door construction.

As can best be seen in FIGURES 1 and 2, the pivotal door construction 10 of the present invention comprises an upright elongate jamb 11. Jamb 11 is integrally provided with a lower tab 12 and an upper terminal plate 13, said tab 12 and plate 13 extending outwardly of said jamb 11 toward an upright door 14. Door 14 is preferably pivotably connected to the outward extensions of lower tab 12 and terminal plate 13.

Upright elongate jamb 11 comprises an elongate bar having two opposed side panels 17 and 18 and an intervening front panel 19, said three panels being joined together in a substantially U-shaped relationship. The interior cross-sectional shape of jamb 11 includes two constricted portions, the first constriction 20 being nearer to the jamb front panel 19. First constriction 20 is preferably of arcuate shape and must have a peripheral or circumferential length of at least 210 degrees so as to be adapted to securely engage a cylindrical fastener e.g. 21 and 22, internally along jamb 11. The second constriction 23 is located nearer to the open end of said U than is first constriction 20. The exterior contour of elongate jamb 11 preferably includes a curvilinearly concave face 24 for the intervening front panel 19 and a longitudinal recess 25 at the juncture of front panel 19 and a side panel 17. The elongate jamb 11 has at least two perforations through the front panel 19 thereof for accommodation of

fastener screws

26 and 27, these two screws being utilized to vertically attach jamb 11 along one side 28 of an open doorway.

As can best be seen in FIGURE 1, the elongate jamb 11 initially possesses three segments including two

short terminal segments

31 and 32 separated from an intervening major medial segment 33 by two

deep notches

34 and 35 in the front panel 19. The length of the major medial segment 33 is substantially equivalent to the height of vertical frame 41 of shower door 14. The lengths of the shorter terminal segments are approximately equal and are substantially equivalent to that height to which the bottom of door 14 is to be maintained above the doorway floor; normally this height is about A; inch. There is commonly a water-proof gutter plate along the bottom of shower door 14, said gutter plate being attached to the doorway floor, or preferably as a plate 55 attached to the door itself, as shown in dotted line in FIGURE 1. Before the jamb 11 is vertically attached along doorway 28, one of the terminal segments e.g. 31, is physically removed from jamb 11. Then, jamb 11 is attached along doorway 28 with the remaining terminal segment 32 being at the bottom of the doorway to ultimately act as a spacer between the bottoms of the doorway and the shower door 14. Top edge 36 of medial segment 33 provides the upper terminus of jamb 11. In the drawing, door 14 pivots rightwardly of'jamb 11. If a leftward pivot were desired, then segment 32 (rather than 31) would be physically removed, jamb 11 would be inverted so that remaining segment 31 is downward, and jamb 11 would be attached to the opposite vertical side of the open doorway. Thus, the three-segment jamb 11 has dual-purpose applicability for both left handed and right handed pivoted door constructions.

Also before jamb 11 is vertically attached, the pointed end 29 of lower tab 12 is inserted into notch 35 between medial segment 33 and the remaining terminal segment 32. Lower tab 12 is integrally connected to first constriction 20 of jamb 11 by means of a self tapping cylindrical fastener 22 passing through perforation 37 of lower tab 12. Pointed end 29 fits snugly within second constriction 23, so as to prevent rotation of lower tab 12 within jamb 11. A portion of lower tab 12 including perforation 38 extends outwardly of jamb 11 toward upright door 14.

While any type of upright door may be employed, a frame type shower door will be described because the pivotal door construction of the present invention has special installation advantages in the tub and shower trade. Whatever upright door is employed, it is extremely desirable to provide a pivotal relationship between the door 14 and with the outward extensions of lower tab 12 and upper terminal plate 13. This pivotal relationship may be conveniently provided in one of two ways. For example, as is shown in the drawing, the door 14 may be provided with two integral vertical door pins, one pin 15 at the top and the other 16 at the bottom of the vertical door frame 41 immediately adjacent to jamb 11; these two pins are revolvably surrounded by

perforations

38 and 53, in the outward extensions of lower tab 12 and terminal plate 13, respectively. Another equivalent manner is to provide two perforations into the adjacent door frame 41, one at the top and the other at the bottom, and to provide the door pins integral with imperforate outward extensions of lower tab 12 and terminal plate 13, the door pins being revolvably surrounded by perforations in vertical frame 41.

That manner of pivotal relationship between shower door 14 and the outward extensions of tab 12 and plate 13, as shown in the drawing, does employ door pins 15 and 16 integral with vertical frame 41. The typical shower door structure 14 shown in the drawing comprises a translucent rectangular pane 40 securely bounded by four channelled rail frames 41, 42, 43, and 44, including vertical frames 41 and 43 and

horizontal frames

42 and 44. The respective frames intersect one another in a bevelled-corner relationship. Because the channelled rail frames in a shower door are commonly extruded from aluminum or other metal, it has been found advantageous to include within the extruded shape of adja/cent vertical frame 41 an internal constriction 45 adapted to accommodate the door pins 15 and 16. The type of door pins 15 and 16 shown in the drawing are integrally attacher to the head of a threaded bolt 46. Thus, the door pins 15 and 16 are simply integrally attached to adjacent vertical frame 41 by means of secure engagement of the threaded bolt shank with frame constriction 45.

If the exterior contour of jamb 11 includes a curvilinearly concave face 24, it is desireable to include a curvilinearly convex face 47 within vertical frame 41, so that frame 41 and jamb 11 are similarly mated as the door 14 is pivoted about jamb 11. This convex-concave relationship does permit an extremely close spatial relationship between jamb 11 and adjacent door frame 41. The exterior contour of vertical frame 41 also preferably includes a flange-like projection 48 that fits into longitudinal recess 25 when door 14 is in the closed position. Flange-like projection 48 being on the interior of the shower enclosure, it does inhibit water leakage from the shower spray through the juncture of jamb 11 and door 14. For the following two reasons, it is desirable that flange-like propection 48 fit wholly within recess 25 and flush with side panel 17. Firstly, to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance from the interior of the shower stall. Secondly, in that a gutter plate 55, shown in dotted line in FIGURE 1, may be very simply mounted along bottom horizontal door frame 44, said gutter plate 55 extending beyond vertical frame 41 and vertical jamb 11. If the flange-like projection 48 is flush with side panel 17, the gutter plate need not be notched to accomodate projection 48.

As can best be seen in the FIGURE 4 perspective view, upper terminal plate 13 includes a tongue portion 51 as an integral part thereof. There are two perforations in terminal plate 13, including first perforation 52 near to tongue 51 and second perforation 53 more remote from tongue 51. Terminal plate 13 is attached to the upper end of attached jamb 11 at the upper terminus 36 of medial segment 33. Tongue 51 of terminal plate 13 fits downwardly between first constriction 20' and second constriction 23 of jamb 11; elongated fastener screw 21, passing through plate perforation 52 and threadedly engaged by first constriction 20, together with tongue 51 rot-ation ally fix plate 13 with respect to jamb 11. That portion of terminal plate 11 which extends outwardly toward door 14 includes perforation 53. Perforation 53 revolvably surrounds top door pin 15, thus holding shower door 14 adjacent to terminus 36 of jamb 11.

The method for installing the pivotal door construction is as follows: First, depending upon whether a right hand or left hand door connection is desired, the appropriate terminal segment, 31 or 32, is removed from the originally provided tri-segment jamb. Then, the pointed end 29 of tab 12 is inserted into the remaining notch, 34 or 35, at the juncture of the jamb major medial segment 33 and the remaining terminal segment. Screw 22 is threaded along the first constriction 20 of the remaining terminal segment until said screw passes through perforation 29 of lower tab 12, thus holding lower tab 12 securely within jamb 11. Next, jamb 11 is attached in upright vertical fashion along vertical doorway 28 by means of

screws

26 and 27 passing through perforations of jamb front panel 19; lower tab 12 is at the bottom of the doorway while the exposed end 36 of medial segment 33 is at the top of the doorway.

Then, the bottom door pin 16, integral with shower door vertical frame 41, is inserted through perforation 38 located in the outward extension of lower tab 12. Next, top door pin 15, also integral with door frame 41, is inserted through perforation 53 in top terminal plate 13. Then the tongue 51 of top terminal plate 13 is inserted downwardly between

jamb constrictions

20 and 23. Screw 21 is inserted into perforation 52 of plate 13 and threaded along constriction 20, thus holding terminal plate 13 tightly against the top end of jamb 11 which coincides with the exposed terminus 36 of major medial segment 33.

While it is preferred to attach the shower door by means of door pins to the terminal plate 13 and the lower tab 12 that extend outwardly of jamb 11, it is also permissible to attach the plate 13 and tab 12 to the door 14 and to pivotably attach these to the jamb. To do so would require pivot pins in the jam-b, preferably being driven along jam-b constriction 20 so as to intersect perforations in the terminal plate 13 and lower tab 12.

From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the pivotal door construction will be readily understood and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown, and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the appended claims.
