Abstract
A rod guide for a rod connected to an openable element, including a first part adapted to be mounted adjacent a surface of the openable element, and having at least one recess extending in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the openable element. A second part enclosed by the first part and being movable relative to the first part in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and having at least one recess adapted to create a receptacle for receiving the rod, and a height adjusting element adapted to adjust the position of the second part inside of the first part. When moving the second part by the height adjusting element the rod received in the receptacle of the recess is moved along the recess in a direction perpendicular to the openable element.
Claims18
A rod guide for a rod connected to an openable element, the rod guide comprising:
- a first part having a bottom side adapted to be mounted adjacent a surface of the openable element, and having at least one recess extending, from an open end of the recess at the bottom side of the first part, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the openable element,
- a second part enclosed by the first part and being movable relative to the first part in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and having at least one recess adapted to create a receptacle for receiving the rod, wherein the recess of the second part has an open end in a direction parallel with the surface of the openable element when the rod guide is connected thereto, and
- a height adjusting element adapted to adjust the position of the second part inside of the first part along said direction,
- wherein when moving the second part by the height adjusting element, the rod received in the receptacle of the recess of the second part is moved along the recess of the first part in a direction perpendicular to the openable element.
(canceled)
A method for adjusting the position of a rod, connected to an openable element, in a rod guide, the method comprising:
- providing a rod guide comprising:
- a first part having a bottom side adapted to be mounted adjacent a surface of the openable element, and having at least one recess extending, from an open end of the recess at the bottom side of the first part, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the openable element,
- a second part enclosed by the first part and being movable relative to the first part in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and having at least one recess adapted to create a receptacle for receiving the rod, wherein the recess of the second part has an open end in a direction parallel with the surface of the openable element when the rod guide is connected thereto, and
- a height adjusting element adapted to adjust the position of the second part inside of the first part along said direction,
- wherein when moving the second part by the height adjusting element, the rod received in the receptacle of the recess of the second part is moved along the recess of the first part in a direction perpendicular to the openable element;
- and
- rotating the height adjusting element, such that the second part is moved inside of the first part in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the openable element.
An openable element comprising:
- a rod;
- and
- at least one rod guide attached to a surface of the openable element, the rod extends through the rod guide, and the rod guide comprising:
- a first part having a bottom side adapted to be mounted adjacent the surface of the openable element, and having at least one recess extending, from an open end of the recess at the bottom side of the first part, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the openable element,
- a second part enclosed by the first part and being movable relative to the first part in a direction perpendicular to the surface, and having at least one recess adapted to create a receptacle for receiving the rod, wherein the recess of the second part has an open end in a direction parallel with the surface of the openable element when the rod guide is connected thereto, and
- a height adjusting element adapted to adjust the position of the second part inside of the first part along said direction,
- wherein when moving the second part by the height adjusting element, the rod received in the receptacle of the recess of the second part is moved along the recess of the first part in a direction perpendicular to the openable element.
