  • Patent number: 11661773
    Abstract: A shower door assembly with translating glass door panels riding in a lower track and supported by an upper center guide with a locking mechanism providing that one glass door is locked in place while the other glass door is allowed to translate. A double bottom slider system and mechanism for a sliding door assembly allow the doors to translate relative to each other. A locking system located on the top portion of the lower track made up of an inner door gear element attached to a torque loading device with a protruding element in contact with the inner door panel meshed with an outer door gear element with a protruding element in contact with the outer door panel. The shower door assembly operates in the setting of sliding all glass shower door systems to lock one door in place while the other door is free to translate.

  • Patent number: 9857071
    Abstract: A medicine cabinet with a horizontally oriented internal wire management and electronic component raceway structure where electrical wires from the building or home power supply and electronic components are housed. The uppermost portion of the internal wire management and electronic component raceway structure forms a shelf in the medicine cabinet with a translucent shelf surface. An LED light strip inserted inside the internal wire management and electronic component raceway activated by a motion sensor switch provides illumination in the cabinet through the translucent shelf. Electrical receptacles and USB ports protrude from the front face of the shelf/wire management and electronic component raceway shelf. These receptacles and ports are powered by the electrical wires from the house or building fed into the shelf/wire management and electronic component raceway. Defogger strips are located between the two mirrored faces of the cabinet door.

  • Publication number: 20170254130
    Abstract: An anti-lift tab in a roller assembly for a door that rides along a fixed beam that does not rotate relative to the roller assembly in use. The anti-lift tab protrudes from the bottom of a face plate with keys molded onto the back face of that plate which interface with keyways contained in a castellated nut and shaft component with internal crew threads. A threaded rod is inserted through the inner diameter of a bearing seated in a roller which rides along a fixed rail. That rod is screwed into the shaft side of the castellated nut and shaft component. A screw attaches the mated thee plate/castellated nut shaft component assembly to the roller/bearing assembly. In this arrangement, the face plate with the anti-lift tab protruding from its bottom will remain fixed and not rotate relative to the roller assembly during translation of the roller assembly on a fixed beam.

  • Publication number: 20170038058
    Abstract: A pair of vertical linear side mounted lights for a cabinet with a mirrored door are disclosed. The vertical linear side mounted lights are an assembly of a rectangular box attachment section and a light diffuser housing. The light diffuser housing, containing LED light strips, is attached to the front of the rectangular box attachment section, containing the power source for the LED light strips, to create the rectangular box attachment section/light diffuser panel assembly. This assembly is affixed to the vertical side walls of a cabinet with a mirrored door. The light diffuser panel on the front of the assembly is oriented so as to angle the light toward the person standing in front the mirror. A preferred embodiment is for use of the vertical linear side mounted lights on a medicine cabinet with a mirrored front door.
