ABSTRACT:
An edge structure for use with a room dividing panel is provided, as well as room dividing panels utilizing the edge structure, and a method of manufacture and/or utilization of such panels. The edge structure includes a unitary extrusion, elongated in a first dimension, of flexible plastic material. The extrusion includes a hollow anchoring portion adapted to anchor the extrusion in a channel in the room dividing panel, and elongated in a second dimension transverse to the first dimension; a pair of support portions extending outwardly from and on opposite sides of the anchoring portion and adapted to engage and overlap an edge of the room dividing panel; and a pair of flexible lips. Each of the lips has one end thereof integral with a support portion, extends toward the other of the support portions, and terminates in a free end unconnected to any other structures. The free ends of the lips are spaced from each other in a third dimension perpendicular to both the first and second dimensions, and are spaced from the support portions in the second dimension. At least one panel interlocking hardware pin is received by the anchoring portion when disposed in the panel channel, the panel extending in the third dimension, and two adjacent panels are interlocked together by a panel hardware structure extending between aligned pins of adjacent panels. The free ends of the lips of the adjacent panels are moved in the second dimension and provide a light-tight interface along the edges between panels. The faces of the panels forming the interface are in-line and flush without any intervening ridge.
