<p>This invention relates to a system for enclosing with wall panels a space such as a porch or balcony. The invention allows a person to unfold or slide wall sections to enclose a space where there is existing a horizontal base and an overhanging ceiling, e.g. an overhanging roof spaced a distance thereabove, and to fold or slide those wall sections back into storage position for example to form a railing of the balcony or porch. The system comprises two or more horizontal rows of a plurality of wall panels. The panels are to be secured when in closed position about the portion of the base and ceiling to be enclosed. Extending between the base and ceiling, means are provided to secure the bottom row of panels in position about the portion of the base to be enclosed. Also provided are means to hold the other row or rows of panels with respect to the bottom row. This permits movement of the panels in the former from storage position beside and adjacent panels in the latter to closed position thereabove. The panels in the other row or rows of panels meet a portion of the ceiling to achieve the desired enclosure. Releasable locking means associated with the panels to maintain the wall panels securely in closed position are provided.</p> |
