  • Patent number: 12196021
    Abstract: Apparatuses, such as shower door frame kits, for installing sliding shower door assemblies are provided. The apparatuses enable secure and convenient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies, while keeping water that may escape a shower area to a minimum. The apparatuses of the present disclosure also provide for efficient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies that can be completed with a single tool and/or in a single step. The apparatuses for installing sliding shower door assemblies may include one or more of a shower door header, a wall jamb, a shower header retainer, a shower door catcher, a roller assembly, a corner bracket, and a shower threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240229528
    Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a first hinged body, a pivot pin assembly, and a second hinged body. The first hinged body includes a channel. The pivot pin assembly includes a pin body configured to slideably engage the channel. The pivot pin assembly may be translated within the channel and adjustably secured along the channel. The pin body includes a downwardly extending pin. The second hinged body comprises a pin aperture configured to cooperatively receive the pin. The first hinged body and the second hinged body are configured to hingedly pivot along a hinge axis defined by the pin when the pin is received in the pin aperture.

  • Patent number: 8993704
    Abstract: In a process for producing an elongated polyethylene component, such as a fiber or membrane, polyethylene powder having a molecular weight of at least 3×105 g/mol as determined by ASTM 4020 is dissolved in a solvent to produce an extrudable solution. The solution is then extruded through a die to form an elongated component and at least part of said solvent is removed from the elongated component. The polyethylene powder used in the process is produced by polymerizing ethylene in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising a Group 4 metal complex of a phenolate ether ligand.

  • Publication number: 20140329921
    Abstract: In a process for producing polyethylene, ethylene is contacted under polymerization conditions with a slurry of a catalyst composition comprising a particulate support and a Group 4 metal complex of a phenolate ether ligand carried by the support and present in an amount so as to provide about 0.1 to about 35 ???o of Group 4 metal per gram of the support. The resultant polyethylene has a molecular weight of at least 3×105 g/mol as determined by ASTM 4020, an average particle size, d50, of less 300 microns, preferably about 100 to 250 microns, and a span, log10(d90/d10), of less than 0.4.
