[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Since shower doors need to be fixed to other structures such as walls and floors during installation, fixing them by drilling holes not only damages the fixing surface, but also takes a long time and effort, and makes it difficult to change the installation position. Therefore, there is a need for shower door pull rods to be installed without the need for screws.

[0024] In view of this, this application provides a shower door pull rod and a shower door including the same.

[0025] Figure 1 shows an installation diagram of the shower door rod according to this application, where area A shows the installation position of the shower door rod, which connects the shower door to the wall. It should be noted that the installation is not limited to the wall; the shower door can also be fixed to the floor, another shower door, etc., via the shower door rod.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, multiple shower door pull rods are used in combination to increase the reliability of the fixation.

[0027] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the shower door pull rod according to this application. The shower door pull rod includes two fixing plates 100, the ends of which are connected and fixed to different objects. Exemplarily, one of the two fixing plates 100 is fixed to the shower door, and the other is fixed to a wall, floor, or another shower door. The two fixing plates 100 form an angle 90° with respect to the included angle between the two objects.

[0028] In the embodiments of this application, the side of the two fixing plates 100 located inside the intersection 900 is generally referred to as the inner side, and the other side is referred to as the outer side; the surface constituting the intersection 900 is referred to as the inner surface, and the other side is referred to as the outer surface.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the angle 90° is a right angle, in which case the shower door is fixed perpendicularly to another object being fixed. In other words, the angle between the two objects being fixed is the angle 90°, and under certain circumstances, the angle 90° can be set to any angle.

[0030] On the outer side of the intersection 90°, both fixing plates 100 have mating surfaces 105. Adhesive can be added to the mating surfaces 105 and bonded to the object being fixed.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the bonding surface 105 is a flat surface, which is beneficial for fixing to a flat surface such as glass by means of an adhesive.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the connection between the two fixing plates 100 includes a reinforcing element 103, which is disposed inside the angle 90° to increase the stability of the shower door pull rod. Exemplarily, the reinforcing element 103 can be a rounded corner, chamfer, reinforcing rib, or other structure disposed between the two fixing plates 100.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the connection between the two fixing plates 100 includes a recessed step 102, which is located on the outside of the intersection 900. When a raised step structure is provided between the two fixed objects, the recessed step 102 is used to allow the shower door pull rod to avoid this step structure while connecting the fixed objects. As shown in Figure 1, when an exposed groove 800 is provided between the shower door and the wall, by providing the recessed step 102, the groove 800 is accommodated within the recessed step 102, thereby allowing the shower door pull rod to contact the shower door and the wall while avoiding the groove 800.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, at least one of the two fixing plates 100 includes an oblong hole 106, which is perpendicular to the fixing plate 100. When adhesive alone is insufficient for securing the shower door rod, screws and the oblong hole 106 are used to fix the shower door rod. Simultaneously, the oblong hole 106 does not affect the adhesive effect of the mating surface 105, and when screws are not used for fixing, it does not affect the adhesion and tightness between the mating surface 105 and the object being fixed.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, positioning holes 108 are provided on both sides of the oblong hole 106. The positioning holes are used to install fasteners and serve a positioning function when connecting the shower door pull rod to the oblong hole 106 with screws. The fasteners are screwed into the object to be fixed through the positioning holes 108. By adjusting the screwing length of the fasteners, the angle between the fixing plate 100 and the object to be fixed is adjusted so that the fixing plate 100 remains parallel to the wall or ground to be fixed.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the oblong hole 106 and the positioning hole 108 form a countersunk hole 109 on the inner surface of the fixing plate 100 for installing a decorative cover, which serves both aesthetic and waterproof purposes.

[0037] This invention also provides a shower door, which includes the shower door rod provided in any of the above embodiments.

[0038] The shower door rod and shower door including the rod provided in this application embodiment achieve the technical effect of replacing drilling by adhesive installation through the setting of the bonding surface 105, making the installation process safe and convenient.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
