Abstract
A transom assembly for a bathing enclosure or the like is disclosed. Preferably, multiple sliding transom panels are supported only at their lower end by two upwardly facing channels formed in the lintel or header of the door assembly. The panels may be positioned to overlap and thus create a transom of variable length. Locking ridges in the panels fit locking ridges in the channels to hold the panels against vertical movement. A sealing strip fits within the channels and is held by the locking channels to seal the open portions of the channel when the panels are positioned.
