ABSTRACT:
Operable partitions arrangements having operable seal mechanisms such that a seal can be created, when so desired, between the panel and a surface such as a floor, a ceiling, a wall, other panels, or other structures located adjacent the panel. The invention provides a seal mechanism which operates to actuate a seal member against the surface and operates to withdraw the bias of seal member from the surface thereby releasing the seal made with the surface. The invention provides a partition including a panel having an interior, a seal member moveable with respect to the panel, a rotatable cam housed in the interior of the panel, and a connector extending between the seal member and the cam, whereby rotation of the cam in a first direction moves the seal member away from the panel to a first position and rotation of the cam in a second direction moves the seal member toward the panel to a second position.
