Title:
ROLLING PIVOT FOR TRACK SUSPENDED ARTICULATED PANELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003012232
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An improved rolling pivot for suspended support of articulated panels such as shutters or room dividers in an overhead channel. The device features angled engagement of overlapped wheels of the rolling pivot in the overhead channel to thereby allow the supported articulated panels to be closed and opened by directing force to side edges of the suspended panels instead of having to pull the lead panel in the array. The device also allows for minimizing the width of the overhead channel and easy insertion and removal of individual pivot assemblies with the overhead channel by a simple rotation of the carriage of the pivot assembly to remove the wheels from operational engagement with tracks formed in the carriage and allow the wheels and pivot assembly to slide through a gap in the channel between the tracks.
