SLIDING LAVATORY POCKET DOOR

摘要

A compact, sliding door apparatus includes three vertically curved panels positioned in a doorway. A first of the panels is solid and is operatively connected to a slot above the doorway enabling the first panel to move side to side in the doorway. The second of the panels is hollow and receives a portion of the first panel. The second panel is also operatively connected to the slot above the doorway for side to side movement of the panel across the doorway. A third of the panels has a hollow interior and is stationary adjacent the doorway. The third panel hollow interior receives a portion of the second panel. The doorway is opened by moving the first panel into the second panel interior to open a portion of the doorway, and then moving the second panel into the third panel interior to fully open the doorway.

主权项

1. A method for installing a compact, sliding door assembly in a doorway, the method comprising:
positioning a slot adjacent the doorway with the slot extending straight across the doorway; positioning a first curved panel having a top edge and a first set of guides extending upwardly from the top edge in the doorway with the top edge positioned vertically underneath the slot; positioning a second curved panel having a top edge and a second set of guides extending upwardly from the top edge in the doorway with the top edge positioned vertically underneath the slot; inserting the second set of guides into the slot for movement of the guides through the slot and thereby operatively connecting the second curved panel with the slot for side-to-side movement of the second curved panel across the doorway; inserting the first set of guides into the slot for movement of the guides through the slot and thereby operatively connecting the first curved panel with the slot for side-to-side movement of the first curved panel across the doorway; providing the second curved panel with a hollow interior and an opening in a side of the second curved panel, dimensioning the hollow interior and the opening to enable the first curved panel to extend through the opening and move through the hollow interior when moving the first curved panel side-to-side in the doorway.
