An adjustable hanging support mechanism for a folding panel assembly enclosure which comprises a plurality of folding panels and end posts secured thereto and which fold in an accordion fashion while being suspended by the support mechanism along a top end thereof. The hanging support mechanism has a support rod which is connected at a top end to a displaceable carriage which is engaged in a support rail. The support rod has a plurality of spaced fastener engaging apertures extending along a connecting section thereof. The apertures are configured to receive a fastener element in engagement therewith. At least some of the panels are provided with connecting cylinders to receive at least a connecting section of an associated one of the support rods in axial rotation therein. Fastener elements are associated with the connecting cylinders to permit interconnection with a selected one of the fastener engaging apertures of an associated support post to provide vertical height adjustment of the enclosure.
In an enclosure comprising a folding panel assembly having a plurality of interconnected folding panels and end posts and a plurality of hanging support mechanisms for slidingly supporting said assembly suspended from a rail at spaced intervals along a top end of said panel assembly and permitting said panels to fold in an accordion fashion, the improvement comprising said hanging support mechanism having a support element connected at a top end to displaceable track engagement means, said support element having a plurality of spaced fastener engaging apertures extending along a connecting section thereof, said apertures being configured to receive a fastener element in engagement therewith, channel means in at least some of said panels to receive at least said connecting section of an associated one of said support element in axial rotation therein, fastener arresting means associated with said channel means of said panels for receiving a fastener means therein to permit interlocking connection with a selected one of said fastener engaging apertures of an associated support element to provide vertical height adjustment of said enclosure.
