Patent ID: 8627606

Claim:
A combined sealing system, comprising: a frame; a panel within and movable, relative to the frame, between at least an open position and a completely closed position, the panel including a plurality of subpanels hinged relative to one another; a first sealing system configured to form a first seal between a sill rail of the panel and a sill of the frame; a second sealing system configured to form a second seal between a stile rail of the panel and a jamb of the frame; a third sealing system configured to form a third seal between a meeting rail of the panel and a header of the frame; and a first transfer system connecting the first sealing system to the second sealing system, wherein the first transfer system transfers rotational motion within the second sealing system into linear motion within the first sealing system, a second transfer system connecting the second sealing system to the third sealing system, wherein the second transfer system transfers rotational motion within the second sealing system into rotational motion within the third sealing system, the rotational motion within the second sealing system is about a first axis, the rotational motion within the third sealing system is about a second axis, and the first axis is substantially perpendicular to the second axis, and in the closed position, the first and second sealing systems are movable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration.
