Claim 0:
1. A sealing assembly for moving a slidable panel for engagement with and disengagement from sealing means, the sealing assembly comprising a linkage assembly which connects a handle and at least one roller assembly having roller wheels, the sealing assembly being configured to be adjustable, by manipulation of the handle, such that the at least one roller assembly and the slidable panel supported thereby are movable between a first position where the slidable panel is in contact with sealing means thereby providing weatherproofing and a second position where the slidable panel is free of the sealing means and the slidable panel is able to move freely relative to an outer frame, and wherein the linkage assembly is configured to as to provide a variable force through the handle when the at least one roller assembly and the slidable panel is moved between the first and second positions,
wherein the at least one roller assembly includes a first roller sub-assembly and a second roller sub-assembly,
wherein the at least one roller assembly has a housing and the at least one roller assembly includes the first roller sub-assembly connected to the second roller sub-assembly to move the first and second roller sub-assemblies pivotally relative to the housing, and
wherein the first roller sub-assembly is connected to the second roller sub-assembly such that movement between positions of the first roller sub-assembly effects parallel movement of the second roller sub-assembly.
