step in the bottom of the channel (bottom step?)
Explanation:
there may be a more elegant way to say it, but a Sohl(en)prung is just an abrupt change in the level of the bottom of the channel (but not a groove or ridge).

See the reference which has diagrams of various sorts of equipment without and without Sohlsprung (eg tahe Waage-Drossel)

mounting lip / ledge


Explanation:

I think this is some kind of raised lip or ledge at the base of the pipe, on which the screen is mounted (unless it's 'sohlsprungfrei', see ref.), but I don't know the specific technical term. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers,
Frazer

shoulder, jut(ty), overhang


Explanation:
I believe it's a protruding part of the bed/sole used for anchoring the screen?
[SohlenVORsprung] the only reference I found for Sohlensprung was "sohleneben" i.e. on the same level with the bed.
See if this make s sense.Good luck!
