    Abstract: An improved base shoe for use with the panel installation and removal system described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,122,654 and 8,201,366 is presented. The improved base shoe featuring dovetail grooves for use with a safety-seal weather seal, wherein the safety-seal weather seal must be installed prior to installing a glass panel. The safety-seal weather seal eliminates a safety risk incurred by installers who attempt to install a press in seal at an outboard base shoe to glass panel interface of an installed panel and base shoe. In an alternative embodiment, the improved base shoe features a recess for use with taper plates having a continuous projection along an upper surface. The base shoe and taper plates are configured so as to provide a prying surface between the projection on the taper plates and a wall of the base shoe.

    Abstract: A fully frameless sliding shower door assembly includes a sliding panel of sufficient strength to be fully self-supporting and includes a stationary panel. The need for an upper horizontal header member is eliminated by using an upper guide assembly having a guide which is fixed to the sliding panel and configured to slide about a top edge of the stationary panel. A self-centering roller assembly is attachable to the sliding panel without the need for a rail member. The roller assembly and a track therefore feature matching inverted and non-inverted generally U-shaped profiles. The shower door assembly further features inboard and outboard roller finger guards, as well as a track leveling feature which improves ease of installation.

    Abstract translation: 完全无框式的滑动淋浴门组件包括具有足够强度的滑动面板,以完全自支撑并且包括固定面板。 通过使用具有固定到滑动面板并被配置为围绕固定面板的顶部边缘滑动的导向件的上部引导组件来消除对上部水平头部构件的需要。 自定心辊组件可附接到滑动面板而不需要轨道构件。 因此,辊组件和轨道具有匹配的倒置和非倒置的大致U形轮廓。 淋浴门组件还具有内侧和外侧的辊指护罩,以及轨道调平功能,其改善了安装的便利性。
