Panel seal systems

A movable wall panel system for suspension from an overhead track, comprising:

• a first movable wall panel including a first end and a second end, spaced-apart from the first end, a panel face extending between the first end and the second end, a top portion which is adapted to be operatively coupled to the overhead track, and a bottom portion opposite the top portion;
• a second movable wall panel rotatably coupled to the first moveable wall panel, the second moveable wall panel including a first end and a second end, spaced-apart from the first end, a panel face extending between the first end and the second end, a top portion which is adapted to be operatively coupled to the overhead track, and a bottom portion opposite the top portion;
• a first seal supported by the first moveable wall panel and extending along the first end of the first moveable wall panel from the top portion of the first moveable wall panel to the bottom portion of the first moveable wall panel;
• a second seal supported by the first moveable wall panel and extending along the second end of the second moveable wall panel from the top portion of the second moveable wall panel to the bottom portion of the second moveable wall panel;
• and
• at least one hinge rotatably coupling the first moveable wall panel to the second moveable wall panel, the at least one hinge including a first hinge portion coupled to the first movable wall panel at a first location rearward of a first corner of the first moveable wall panel positioned between the first end of the first movable wall panel and the panel face the first movable wall panel and a second hinge portion coupled to the second movable wall panel at a second location rearward of a second corner of the second moveable wall panel positioned between the second end of the second movable wall panel and the panel face of the second movable wall panel, wherein the first seal and the second seal cooperate to seal a gap between the first moveable wall panel and the second moveable wall panel when the panel face of the first moveable wall panel is generally coplanar with the panel face of the second movable wall panel, the first seal being coupled to the first moveable panel at a location between the first location and the first corner.
