Movable partition systems including header assemblies and related methods

摘要

Header assemblies for movable partitions comprise an overhead track. A header pan is configured to abut against and be secured to the overhead track and comprises at least two header pan members defining opposing lateral portions of the header pan. The header pan is configured to form at least a portion of a fire-resistant barrier. Methods of forming fire-resistant header assemblies comprise forming a first header pan member to define a first lateral portion of a header pan. A second header pan member is formed to define a second, opposing lateral portion of the header pan. The header pan is configured to extend laterally across a header space between a wall of an adjoining structure and an opposing wall of the adjoining structure and to at least substantially longitudinally occlude the header space when the first and second header pan members jointly form the header pan.

主权项

1. A movable partition including a header assembly comprising:
an overhead track; a movable partition comprising at least one structure of hingedly connected panels suspended from the overhead track; a header pan abutting against and secured to the overhead track, the header pan being positioned vertically above the overhead track, the header pan comprising at least two separately formed and discrete header pan members defining opposing lateral portions of the header pan, wherein the header pan forms a portion of a fire-resistant barrier extending from a wall of an adjoining structure to an opposing wall of the adjoining structure; a first molding member abutting against the wall of the adjoining structure and comprising a first recess receiving at least an edge portion of a first header pan member of the at least two header pan members, the first molding member being adjustable laterally relative to the header pan; and a second molding member abutting against the opposing wall of the adjoining structure and comprising a second recess receiving at least an edge portion of a second header pan member of the at least two header pan members, the second molding member being adjustable laterally relative to the header pan.
