  • Publication number: 20140123719
    Abstract: A substantially recrystallized extrusion may include from about 0.7 to about 1.3 wt % silicon, up to about 0.50 wt % iron, from about 0.03 to about 0.2 wt % copper, up to about 0.5 wt % manganese, from about 0.6 to about 1.2 wt % magnesium, up to about 0.05 wt % chromium, up to about 0.2 wt % zinc, up to about 0.10 wt % titanium and the balance consisting essentially of aluminum and incidental elements and impurities. The disclosed alloy may be homogenized at a temperature above 1030° F. (554.4 ° C.) and have a recrystallized grain structure. Extrusions made from the disclosed alloys and having a wall thickness ranging from about 0.050 to about 0.500 inches (1.5-˜12.5 mm) provides a tensile yield strength of greater than 42 ksi (290 MPa).

  • Publication number: 20110072577
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus relating to shower door enclosures are described. The systems include an elongated shower door support and a separate corresponding cover. The elongated shower door support may include one or more tracks for engaging a tread of a shower door roll wheel. After the shower doors are hung from the elongated shower door support, the cover may be readily placed over at least a portion of the elongated shower door support, thereby hiding that portion of the elongated shower door support from view. The elongated shower door support may include one or more connectors for physically connecting the cover to the elongated shower door support. The cover may be repeatedly connect to and disconnect from the connector of the elongated shower door support, thereby facilitating ease of installation of the shower door enclosure.
