Movable Element On Partition Engages Overhead Barrier; I.e., Ceiling, To Secure Partition In Place Patents (Class 52/243.1)
  • Patent number: 6167937
    Abstract: A seal setting mechanism is provided that includes a pair of cross-members and a pair of downwardly extending force transfer members. The cross-members are linked with a linking member. When the cross-members are pivoted downwardly, the force is transferred through the force transfer members to a spring associated with each force transfer member. The spring applies a force on a sealing member. The sealing member is thus pressed against the floor, and held in place by the springs.
