<p>A universal latch means for a drop seal assembly which is adapted for mounting to the lower end of a movable wall assembly, is disclosed. The drop seal assembly includes a universal latch means mounted on each end thereof for releasibly coupling each adjacent drop seal assembly in longitudinal alignment and in which each panel is locked from transverse relative movement. The latch means has a front, vertical face having formed thereon in side-by-side relation, a pair of elongated triangular pyramids, one being the mirror image of the other so as to provide a tongue and groove latching means and the pair of said triangular pyramids having a common side. The tongue pyramid has a camming surface so that when the tongue pyramid of one latch means is inserted into a groove pyramid of an adjacent latch means, the camming surface will cause the tongue pyramid to follow along the corresponding surfaces of the groove pyramid of the adjacent latch means, so that the drop seal assembly of said adjacent panel is mounted in longitudinal alignment and locked against transverse movement.</p> |
