  • Patent number: 10337222
    Abstract: A shower door hinge assembly includes a clamp, a member, a base, a spacer, and a pin. The clamp is configured to receive a portion of a shower door. The member is coupled to the clamp, and comprises a circumferential slot. The base is configured to be coupled to a fixed structure, and defines a hole. The spacer is coupled to the base. The member is rotatably coupled to the spacer. The pin includes a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to be received in the hole of the base, and the second end is configured to be received in the circumferential slot. The pin and the circumferential slot are cooperatively configured to define an end point of rotation for the shower door.

  • Patent number: 10060168
    Abstract: A shower door hinge assembly includes a guide member including a generally cylindrical body, the body defining a plurality of diametrically opposed circumferential slots. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a clamp configured to receive a portion of a shower door, the clamp defining a recess configured to receive a first side of the guide member. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a base defining a plurality of openings and a spacer comprising a generally cylindrical body defining a plurality of through holes at an outer periphery thereof, a first side of the spacer configured to be rotatively received in a corresponding recess in a second side of the guide member. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a plurality of pins configured to be received in the plurality of openings of the base, extend through the plurality of through holes of the spacer, and engage a portion of the plurality of circumferential slots.

  • Patent number: 9675215
    Abstract: A shower door assembly includes a wall member, a door and a hinge assembly. The wall member is configured to be coupled to a fixed portion of a bathing enclosure. The door is pivotably coupled to the wall member by the hinge assembly, and the door is positioned such that at least a portion of the door overlaps with at least a portion of the wall member when the door is in a closed position. The door is configured to pivot about a pivot axis relative to the wall member between an opened position and a closed position. The door is also configured to translate in a direction normal to the pivot axis to selectively adjust a relative distance between a side edge of the door and a side edge of the wall member such that the door fits in a door opening of the bathing enclosure.
