Abstract

A roller guide ( 1 ) for a pocket door comprising a roller ( 16 ) supported by two angled support arms ( 10, 13 ) extending from a base plate ( 2 ). The roller guide may be mounted adjacent to a pocket door so the roller makes contact with a surface of the pocket door and prevents the pocket door from scraping against an opening of a wall in which the pocket door is slideably mounted.

Claims (14)

1. A pocket door assembly having roller guides comprising:

a rectangular shaped pocket door located within a wall opening having a right side and a left side;

a first roller guide attached to the right side of the wall opening;

a second roller guide attached to the left side of the wall opening;

said first roller guide having a substantially rectangular-shaped base plate having a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge, a left side edge, a top surface and a bottom surface;

said first roller guide having a right support arm having a proximal end and a distal end extending from the right side edge of the base plate;

said first roller guide having a left support arm having a proximal end and a distal end extending from the left side edge of the base plate;

said first roller guide having a cylindrical-shaped roller having an outer surface, a right side and a left side is located between the distal end of the right support arm and the distal end of the left support arm;

at least one axle being rotatably connected to the distal end of each support arm;

said second roller guide having a substantially rectangular-shaped base plate having a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge, a left side edge, a top surface and a bottom surface;

said second roller guide having a right support arm having a proximal end and a distal end extending from the right side edge of the base plate;

said second roller guide having a left support arm having a proximal end and a distal end extending from the left side edge of the base plate;

said second roller guide having a cylindrical-shaped roller having an outer surface, a right side and a left side located between the distal end of the right support arm and the distal end of the left support arm; and

at least one axle being rotatably connected to the distal end of each support arm.
