ABSTRACT:
A floor supported movable wall panel system comprises a movable wall panel having opposing sides, an aperture in at least one of the opposing sides, a floor support assembly engagable with a floor, the assembly comprising a floor engaging mechanism, a support mechanism upwardly extending from the floor engaging mechanism and intermediate the opposing sides, the support mechanism supporting the wall panel, the support mechanism including an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the vertical distance between the floor and the wall panel, and the adjustment mechanism being located so as to be accessible through the aperture. A resilient, flexible, retractable seal substantailly covers at least one aperture, so that the adjustment mechanism may be accessed through the aperture by retracting the seal to expose the aperture. A wall panel may be hingedly connected on each side of a wall panel, and the center panel may be supported by an overhead support system, such as a dolly. This permits the center panel to include a thresholdless pass door. In the preferred embodiment, each overhead support system comprises a distally variable, load bearing bias mechanism engaging the overhead panel support mechanism and the wall panel, whereby the overhead panel support mechanism bears an increasing load of the weight of the panel upon an increase in the distance between the overhead track and the wall panel.
