Abstract
A closet unit for a vehicle and a threshold assembly for use with a door are provided. The threshold assembly includes a threshold body that is coupleable to a frame of the closet unit with the threshold body including an opening formed therethrough. The threshold assembly further includes a striker component, in which the striker component includes a plate removably coupleable to the threshold body and a cup coupled to and offset from a center of the plate with the cup positionable through the opening of the threshold body. The threshold assembly further includes a fastener to removably couple the plate of the striker component to the threshold body.
Claims20
A closet unit for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing comprising a frame and a door configured to move with respect to the frame;
- a latching mechanism coupled to the door and comprising a latch configured to secure the door to the frame;
- and
- a threshold assembly coupled to the housing and configured to receive the latch of the latching mechanism, the threshold assembly comprising:
- a threshold body coupled to the frame and comprises an opening formed therethrough;
- and
- a striker component removably coupled to the threshold body and comprising a plate and a cup coupled to the plate with the cup offset from a center of the plate and positionable through the opening.
A threshold assembly for use with a door, comprising:
- a threshold body configured to be coupled to a frame of the closet unit and comprising an opening formed therethrough;
- and
- a striker component comprising:
- a plate configured to be removably coupled to the threshold body;
- and
- a cup coupled to and offset from a center of the plate with the cup configured to be positioned through the opening of the threshold body.
A threshold assembly consisting essentially of:
- a threshold body configured to be coupled to a frame of the closet unit and comprising an opening formed therethrough;
- a striker component comprising:
- a plate configured to be removably coupled to the threshold body;
- a cup coupled to and offset from a center of the plate with the cup configured to be positioned through the opening of the threshold body;
- a pair of guides positioned within the cup;
- and
- a shim configured to be received by the pairs of guides within the cup;
- and
- a fastener configured to removably couple the plate of the striker component to the threshold body.
