Adjustment device and system

摘要

The invention includes an alignment device and system having a guide member, a support member and a connector which engages the guide member and the support member. The guide member may be a relatively flat piece attachable to and edge of a frame. In one aspect the guide member includes a perimeter slot. The support member may have a first portion generally perpendicular with a second portion and the first portion may be attached to an object (or integral with an object such as a window or door casing) which is to be aligned with a frame. The second portion may have a connector portion or threaded hole for receiving a connector. The connector may also engage the slot of the guide member. The device allows for desired alignment of an object within a frame by transferring rotational movement to linear movement.

主权项

1. An adjusting device for adjusting an object with respect to a frame, said device comprising:
a guide having an open-ended slot; a support connectable to the object and independent of said guide; an elongated threaded connector having a first end configured to engage said open-ended slot, said threaded connector having an elongated threaded piece having a width, an engaging piece connected to said threaded connector, a rotation piece integrally connected at a terminal end of said first end, said rotation piece having a width greater than the width of said elongated threaded piece; and a second end of said elongated threaded connector configured to engage said support, said guide configured such that said threaded connector is capable of being inserted into said guide after said connector is connected to said support, rotation of said connector about a central longitudinal axis of said connector changes a distance between said guide and said support while a distance between said rotation piece and said engaging piece remains constant.
