  • Patent number: 5079872
    Abstract: A transom assembly for a bathing enclosure or the like is disclosed. Preferably, multiple sliding transom panels are supported only at their lower end by two upwardly facing channels formed in the lintel or header of the door assembly. The panels may be positioned to overlap and thus create a transom of variable length. Locking ridges in the panels fit locking ridges in the channels to hold the panels against vertical movement. A sealing strip fits within the channels and is held by the locking channels to seal the open portions of the channel when the panels are positioned.

  • Patent number: 4998304
    Abstract: A bathroom accessory attaches to the shower door frame assembly by means of a horizontal slot incorporated into the frame. The slot is preferably on the header and has a generally arcuate cross-section from front to back to accept a similarly dimensioned arcuate flange on the bathroom accessory. Rotation of the bathroom accessory about an axis normal to its direction of insertion engages the slot and flange. The accessory may be positioned horizontally along the shower stall by lifting it slightly and sliding the flange within the slot. The header piece also carries a track to guide the shower door and means to keep the accessory frame from interfering with door movement.
