Abstract (en)

A system in which movable panels (15) are supported from overhead tracks (10,12,14) by carriers (32,34) engaged in the tracks so that the panels are movable between a storage area (19) and operable positions by moving the carriers along the tracks. The tracks are provided with an arrangement of bars (18) which are selectively positioned at the junction between angularly related track sections (10,12) and which, in cooperation with a preselected portion or portions (38,68) of the carriers, permit only certain panels to move from one track section into another and block the entry of others. In addition, an arrangement of diverters (16) are selectively positioned in the track sections (10) in the area of the junctions between track sections, these diverters, in cooperation with a preselected portion or portions (66) of the carriers, preventing certain panels from continuing along a given track section (10) and diverting these panels into an adjacent, angularly related track section (12). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
