Closure assemblies for movable partitions, movable partition systems including closure assemblies and related methods

摘要

Closure assemblies for movable partitions may include a leading end assembly having a first side and a second side and a latching assembly coupled thereto. The latching assembly may include a first latching member having a portion thereof positioned proximate to the first side and a second latching member having a portion thereof positioned proximate to the second side. Movable partition systems may include a plurality of hingedly coupled panels movably coupled to a track, and a leading end assembly coupled to at least one panel of the plurality of hingedly coupled panels. The leading end assembly may include at least two latching features positioned on the leading end assembly. Methods of securing a movable partition may include retaining a first latching member and a second latching member in a retracted position and extending the first latching member and the second latching member to an extended position.

主权项

1. A method of securing a movable partition, the method comprising:
retaining a first latching member and a second latching member in a retracted position by coupling the first latching member to the second latching member; positioning the movable partition comprising a plurality of hingedly coupled panels movably coupled to a track and a leading end assembly coupled to at least one panel of the plurality of hingedly coupled panels in an extended position; and while the movable partition is in the extended position, extending the first latching member and the second latching member to an extended position, comprising:
extending the first latching member in a first direction to engage with an opening formed in a receiving assembly; andextending the second latching member in a second direction to engage with another opening formed in the receiving assembly.
