Embodiment Construction

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1 , bath 10 is located in a recess formed by walls 11 , 12 and 13 , bath 10 includes a front edge 14 extending between walls 11 and 13 . Although the scope of this door system described is only for shower rooms with a shower area above the bathtub, it is also suitable for shower cubicles and other building rooms.

[0021] The bath recess is closed by a door system 15 comprising a low track 20 mounted at the bath front 14 and an elevated track 22 extending directly above the low track between the walls 11 and 13 . Two separate door side walls 24 and 26 extend vertically along each side wall 11 and 13 between the two rails 20 and 22 respectively. Rails 20 and 22 and door side walls 24 and 26 define an opening between the tubs.

[0022] Two plate glass doors 31 and 32 hang from the elevated track 22 in the shower opening and extend down the front edge 14 of the tub 10 into the lower track 20 . The inner door 31 and the outer door 32 can be slid past each...

Abstract

A door system for an enclosure such as a shower enclosure, including sliding doors suspended from hanging brackets which are attached to rails mounted to an opening of the enclosure. The hanging brackets include rollers which roll along the rails enabling the doors to slide with respect to the rails. The hanging brackets include anti-derailer clips snap fitted onto the brackets after the doors are hung from the rails to prevent the doors from being removed from the rails . The clips each have flexible catches at their top and bottom, as well as projections on a side to align their position with respect to the brackets.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sliding door of the type generally used as part of a shower cubicle. More particularly, the invention relates to doors that hang from and slide along overhead tracks. Background technique [0002] Showers generally have an opening closed by a pair of sliding doors. A lower rail fits into the rim of the tub or shower tray and another rail fits into the canopy near the top of the shower. The doors usually slide on separate parallel tracks in the roof, and the doors can slide past each other. Each door is fitted with a pair of rollers which ride in grooves on the elevated track. The rollers allow the door to slide horizontally along the top cover. [0003] The top cover is usually installed in the opening before the door is hung on the track. As a result, the rails housed in the top cover are not accessible from either side of the top cover. Instead, the door must hang on the track, which requires the door to be tilted and...
