发明名称 Space enclosure system
摘要 An enclosure system includes a plurality of elongated panels consecutively connected to one another. The plurality of elongated panels includes a plurality of independent panels and a panel-door. The enclosure system also includes an upper track constructed and arranged to receive an upper portion of the plurality of elongated panels and a lower track constructed and arranged to receive a lower portion of the plurality of elongated panels. The lower track includes two polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) strips constructed and arranged as a transport system for facilitating movement of the plurality of elongated panels along the upper track and the lower track by achieving a very low coefficient of friction enabling heavy weights to be moved with little effort. Substantially all weight of the plurality of elongated panels is supported evenly across a length of the lower track on the two PTFE strips.

主权项 1. An enclosure system comprising: a plurality of elongated panels, the plurality of elongated panels including a plurality of independent panels and a panel-door, each of the plurality of panels having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two opposing side edges extending longitudinally between the top edge and the bottom edge; an upper track constructed and arranged to receive an upper portion of each of the plurality of elongated panels; and a lower track constructed and arranged to receive a lower portion of each of the plurality of elongated panels, the lower track including two polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) strips running a length of the lower track, the two PTFE strips constructed and arranged for facilitating movement of the plurality of elongated panels along the upper track and the lower track, wherein, when the plurality of elongated panels are mounted in the upper track and the lower track such that each of the plurality of panels defines a respective plane extending longitudinally between the top edge, the bottom edge, and the two opposing side edges that is parallel to a vertical plane extending between the upper and lower tracks and a side-by-side pair of lower surfaces of the lower portion of the elongated panels rests longitudinally and uniformly throughout the lower track on the two PTFE strips along the length of the track, substantially all weight of each of the plurality of elongated panels is supported evenly on the two PTFE strips, and wherein each elongated panel, and each of the upper and lower tracks is free of wheels and bearings.
