Abstract: A glass door hinge is provided which is self-centering and clamps a glass door between two opposed clamps. The hinge includes a mount, a pair of clamps, a hinge block, a spindle, and a biasing member for engaging the spindle to return the clamps and the door to a centered position. Each of the clamps is preferably provided with a lipped gasket which isolates the door from the metal hinge components. One of the clamps has a pair of set screws for holding the spindle in position relative to the clamps, and a pair of locking screws for inhibiting movement of the set screws. The set screws and locking screws are concealed from view by being received entirely within the clamp.
Abstract: A tubular rod and post assembly is provided which facilitates customizing the length of the rod to the desired application. The rod has first and second ends, at least one of which is tubular having a channel with an interior surface and an exterior surface. At least one and preferably both posts are symmetrical about a bisecting plane to provide a pair of recesses connected by a central passage, the recesses being complementally sized and configured to receive one or either of the ends of the rod therein. An insert is provided in each post, the insert including a body sized complementally to the interior surface of the rod, whereby the rod may be supported between the receiver around the recesses and the insert which passes partway into the channel. A finial may be positioned in the opposite recesses of each post and coupled to a threaded shank on the insert.
