Abstract

A modular wall assembly includes a frame assembly that includes at least one vertical frame member and at least one horizontal frame member, wherein the frame assembly is configured to define a door opening, a door member slidably operable between a closed position, wherein the door member is at least partially located within the door opening, and an open position, wherein the door member is at least partially removed from with the door opening to allow ingress and egress through the door opening, and a support assembly that includes a sliding support member that slidably supports the door member between the open and closed positions, and at least one mounting arrangement coupling the sliding support member, wherein the at least one mounting arrangement allows vertical adjustment of the sliding support member with respect to the frame assembly.

Claims (21)

1. A modular wall assembly, comprising:

a frame assembly including at least one vertical frame member and at least one horizontal frame member, wherein the frame assembly is configured to define a door opening;

a door member slidably operable between a closed position, wherein the door member is at least partially located within the door opening, and an open position, wherein the door member is at least partially removed from within the door opening to allow ingress and egress through the door opening; and

a support assembly that includes a sliding support member that slidably supports the door member between the open and closed positions, and at least one mounting arrangement releasably coupling the sliding support member to the frame assembly, wherein the at least one mounting arrangement allows vertical adjustment of the sliding support member with respect to the frame assembly;

the frame assembly includes at least one aperture, and wherein the at least mounting arrangement includes a mounting member that engages the at least one aperture of the frame assembly;

the at least one aperture includes a plurality of vertically apertures;

the plurality of apertures are vertically spaced from one another;

the at least one vertical frame member includes the plurality of apertures.

2. The modular wall assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting member includes a plurality of hooks that releasably engage the plurality of apertures.

3. The modular wall assembly of claim 1 , wherein the sliding support member comprises an elongated track.

4. The modular wall assembly of claim 1 , wherein the modular wall assembly comprises a floor-to-ceiling wall assembly.

5. A modular wall assembly, comprising:

a frame assembly including at least one vertical frame member and at least one horizontal frame member, wherein the frame assembly is configured to define a door opening;

a door member slidably operable between a closed position, wherein the door member is at least partially located within the door opening, and an open position, wherein the door member is at least partially removed from within the door opening to allow ingress and egress through the door opening; and

a support assembly that includes a sliding support member that slidably supports the door member between the open and closed positions, and at least one mounting arrangement coupling the sliding support member to the frame assembly, wherein at least one of the at least one vertical frame member and the at least one horizontal frame member includes a plurality of apertures, and wherein the at least one mounting arrangement engages the plurality of apertures to removable couple the at least one mounting arrangement with the frame assembly.

6. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of apertures are vertically spaced from one another.

7. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the vertical frame member includes the plurality of apertures.

8. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the mounting member includes a plurality of hooks that releasably engage the plurality of apertures.

9. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the sliding support member comprises an elongated track.

10. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the modular wall assembly comprises a floor-to-ceiling wall assembly.

11. The modular wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the at least one mounting arrangement allows vertical adjustment of the sliding support member with respect to the frame assembly.
