Abstract:
1. A leading end assembly for a movable partition, comprising: a trolley for moving the leading end assembly along an overhead track of a movable partition; a leading structure having a leading surface coupled to and suspended from the trolley; at least one sensor assembly coupled to the leading end assembly, the at least one sensor assembly configured to detect a force applied to the leading surface of the leading structure; and a diagonal element extending from the trolley at an oblique angle to the leading structure, the at least one sensor assembly being positioned proximate the diagonal element, wherein the at least one sensor assembly is configured to sense at least one of a stress applied to the diagonal element by the force applied to the leading surface of the leading structure, a force applied to the diagonal element by the force applied to the leading surface of the leading structure, and a displacement of the diagonal element resulting from the force applied to the leading surface of the leading structure.
