Abstract

A combined sealing system for use with a combination of a panel and a frame includes a first sealing system and a second sealing system. The first sealing system is positioned within a first side of the frame, and the second sealing system is positioned within a second side of the frame separate from the first side of the frame. The first and second sealing systems have a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame. The panel pivots relative to the frame, and the first sealing system is a reciprocal motion sealing system.

Claims (30)

1. A combined sealing system for use with a combination of a panel and a frame, comprising:

a first sealing system positioned within a first side of the frame; and

a second sealing system positioned within a second side of the frame, wherein

the first side of the frame separate from the second side of the frame, and

the first and second sealing systems having a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame, wherein

the first sealing system is a reciprocal motion sealing system,

the first sealing system includes an anchor in a first configuration of the first sealing system the first sealing system engages a movable member extending from the panel, and

movement of the movable member towards the frame moves the anchor towards the panel.

2. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the panel pivots relative to the frame.

3. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of sealing systems are provided to respectively connect all pairs of adjacent sides of the panel and the frame.

4. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing system provides a seal between an entire first side of the panel to the first side of the frame.

5. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing system is adjacent to and engages the second sealing system in the locked configuration.

6. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein in the locked configuration, the anchor engages a portion of the panel to form a seal between the panel and the frame.

7. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein in the locked configuration, the anchor extends into a slot within the panel to prevent movement of the panel relative to the frame.

8. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing system includes a rocker arm and movement of a first portion of the rocker arm away from the panel moves a second portion of the rocker arm towards the panel.

9. A sealing system within a frame for use with a combination of a panel and the frame, comprising:

a rocker arm pivotally connected to the frame;

an extension arm pivotally connected to the rocker arm and configured to transfer motion of a movable member, extending from the panel, to the rocker arm; and

an anchor pivotally connected to the rocker, wherein

movement of a portion of the rocker arm away from the panel moves the anchor towards the panel, and

the sealing system having a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration,

in a first configuration of the rocker arm, the rocker arm engages the movable member, and

movement of the movable member towards the frame moves the rocker arm away from the panel.

10. The sealing system of claim 9 , wherein in the locked configuration, the anchor engages a portion of the panel to form a seal between the panel and the frame.

11. The sealing system of claim 9 , wherein in the locked configuration, the anchor extends into a slot within the panel to prevent movement of the panel relative to the frame.

12. The sealing system of claim 9 , further comprising an anchor guide extending through the anchor.

13. The sealing system of claim 12 , wherein the anchor guide includes the movable member.

14. The sealing system of claim 9 , wherein a plurality of rocker arms are connected to the anchor.

15. The sealing system of claim 9 , wherein a plurality of combinations of rocker arms and anchors are positioned on separate sides of the frame.

16. The sealing system of claim 9 , wherein the panel pivots relative to the frame.
