Patent ID: 7900318

Claim:
A mounting assembly for mounting a shower door panel relative to an adjacent parallel wall panel, the mounting assembly including: an elongate guide assembly receiving a carriage assembly supporting the glass shower door panel, the guide assembly allowing reciprocating travel of the carriage assembly in a lengthwise direction within the guide assembly; and a side mounting device connecting the guide assembly with the parallel wall panel; wherein the side mounting device includes a first clamping block disposed on a side of the parallel wall panel adjacent to the elongate guide assembly, and a second clamping block disposed on an opposite side of the parallel wall panel; wherein the first and second clamping blocks are mutually coupled together through the parallel wall panel, clamping the parallel wall panel therebetween and thereby providing a frameless connection of the elongate guide assembly to the parallel wall panel; wherein the mounting assembly further includes an end mounting device mounting at least one end of the elongate guide assembly with a perpendicular wall panel; and wherein the end mounting device further includes an inner clamping block disposed on a first side of the perpendicular wall panel, immediately adjacent the end of the elongate guide assembly, and an outer clamping block disposed on an opposite side of the perpendicular wall panel; and, wherein the inner and outer clamping blocks are mutually coupled together through the perpendicular wall panel, clamping the perpendicular wall panel therebetween so as to provide a further frameless connection between the perpendicular wall panel and an end of the elongate guide assembly.
