Abstract
A shower door system includes a wall assembly configured fixedly couple the shower door system to walls of a showering enclosure. The shower door system includes a fixed panel coupled to the wall assembly and a door panel pivotably coupled to the wall assembly by a pivot assembly defining a pivot axis. The door panel is configured to pivot about the pivot axis between an open position and a closed position. An overlap jamb is coupled to the wall assembly adjacent a pivoting end of the door panel, the overlap jamb defining a coupling surface that is couplable to the showering enclosure, in a first configuration, and couplable to the fixed panel, in a second configuration.
Claims20
A shower door system, comprising:
- a wall assembly configured to fixedly couple the shower door system to walls of a showering enclosure
- a fixed panel coupled to the wall assembly,
- a door panel pivotably coupled to the wall assembly by a pivot assembly defining a pivot axis, the door panel configured to pivot about the pivot axis between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- an overlap jamb coupled to the wall assembly adjacent a pivoting end of the door panel, the overlap jamb defining a coupling surface couplable to the showering enclosure, in a first configuration, and couplable to the fixed panel, in a second configuration.
A shower system, comprising:
- a showering enclosure;
- a wall assembly configured to be coupled to support walls of the showering enclosure comprising:
- a member spanning a width of the showering enclosure;
- and
- at least one wall jamb;
- a fixed panel coupled to the wall assembly,
- a door panel pivotably coupled to the wall assembly by a pivot assembly defining a pivot axis,
- the door panel configured to pivot about the pivot axis between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- an overlap jamb coupled to the wall assembly adjacent a pivoting end of the door panel, the overlap jamb defining a coupling surface couplable to the at least one wall jamb, in a first configuration, and couplable to the fixed panel, in a second configuration.
A shower door system, comprising:
- a wall assembly configured to support and couple a pivot door assembly to a showering enclosure defining an opening, the wall assembly configured to secure to walls of the showering enclosure, the wall assembly including an overlap jamb movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the overlap jamb comprising:
- a member having a front surface that is substantially flat and a coupling surface opposite the front surface, the coupling surface being coupled to the walls of the showering enclosure in the first configuration;
- an attachment member extending away from the front surface, the attachment member forming a channel;
- a fixed panel coupled to the wall assembly, wherein the attachment member is configured to receive the fixed panel in the channel in the second configuration;
- and
- a door panel pivotably coupled to the wall assembly by a pivot assembly defining a pivot axis, the pivot axis being parallel to and adjacent to a length of the overlap jamb, the door panel configured to pivot about the pivot axis between an open position and a closed position.
