Abstract:
1. A partition system for subdividing a refrigerated chamber defined by sidewalls, a ceiling and a floor, the partition system comprising: a framework supported within the chamber and including longitudinal rails extending along the sidewalls and along a mid-portion of the chamber, the framework being arranged in proximity to the ceiling and placing no lead on the ceiling; a trolley supported on each said rail for longitudinal movement in the chamber; and a plurality of partitions each supported by a pair of the trolleys mounted on a pair of the spaced apart rails, the partitions being attached to the trolleys for pivotal movement about an axis, each partition being movable longitudinally within the chamber by movement of the trolleys along the rails, and swung about the axis between an operative position where the partition extends generally perpendicular to the ceiling and a loading position where the partition extends generally parallel to the ceiling in close proximity to the framework, and wherein at least two of said partitions when in the operative positions can be placed in side-by-side abutment with each other to close the chamber across a width thereof to subdivide the chamber into two separate chamber portions capable of being maintained at different temperatures.
