Abstract
A so-called shoe for a glass door embodying a mechanism for making adjustments in the position of pivotal traverse of the door relative to the door opening and also in the lateral position thereof, said pivotal traverse position components of said mechanism including a cam means to selectively load and unload a spring to allow said spring to correspondingly urge said door in opposite directions of pivotal traverse for providing said door with an adjusted position in said door opening.
Claims3
In combination, a glass door of the type mounted to partake of pivotal traverses about a vertical axis adjacent an end thereof, and a door-positioning mechanism for making adjustments in said door pivotal traverses, said mechanism comprising a door support member positioned in supporting relation beneath said door and having a fixed axis coinciding with said door pivotal traverse vertical axis and extending laterally of said fixed axis, an H-shaped housing for said mechanism having a pair of upper legs bounding an upwardly facing channel and a pair of lower legs bounding a downwardly facing channel, said glass door having an operative position disposed in said upwardly facing channel, said lateral extension of said door support member being disposed in said downwardly facing channel of said H-housing for providing said H-shaped housing with an operative position in an unconnected covering relation thereover, a lead screw and cam means provided in said downwardly facing channel in an interposed position between a lower leg of said H-shaped housing and said laterally extending door support member, and a spring means also provided in said downwardly facing channel in an interposed position between an opposite lower leg of said H-shaped housing and said laterally extending door support member so as to urge said glass door in opposite pivotal traverses relative to said laterally extending door support member in response to the operation of said lead screw and cams means, whereby adjustments in the position of pivotal traverse of said glass door are made in accordance with the threaded adjustment of said lead screw which is accessible in the side of said H-shaped housing of said mechanism.
