Movable partition with a plurality of laterally movable wall elements

A movable partition system comprising:

• a plurality of movable wall elements being configured to be laterally moved into a closed position to form a partition for a space of a building and being configured to be laterally moved into an open position to open the space of the building;
• a guide rail being configured to be attached to a ceiling of the building space to be partitioned;
• each of said wall elements comprising a support profile structure being configured to suspend said wall element from said guide rail;
• a drive system being configured to be operatively connected to said wall elements to move said wall elements;
• at least one of said wall elements comprising a first wall element;
• said first wall element comprising a door;
• a stationary door closer being configured to be mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the building and comprising a door closer drive;
• a stationary linkage being configured to be mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the building and being configured to be operatively connected to said door closer drive;
• said support profile structure of said first wall element comprising a first portion and a second portion;
• said stationary linkage being configured to engage with one of said first portion and said second portion of said support profile structure of said first wall element to operatively connect said door closer drive with said door upon said wall elements being in the closed position, to form the partition for the space of the building, to enable said door closer to pivot said door from a closed position of said door to an open position of said door;
• and
• said support profile structure of said first wall element being configured to disengage from and be disposed a distance from said stationary linkage upon said first wall element being moved from said closed position of said wall elements.

• a guide rail being configured to be attached to a ceiling of the building space to be partitioned;
• each of said wall elements comprising a support profile structure being configured to suspend said wall element from said guide rail;
• a drive system being configured to be operatively connected to said wall elements to permit movement of said wall elements;
• at least one of said wall elements comprising a first wall element;
• said first wall element comprising a door;
• a stationary door closer being configured to be mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the building and comprising a door closer drive;
• a linkage being configured to be mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the building and being configured to be operatively connected to said door closer drive;
• said support profile structure of said first wall element comprising a first portion and a second portion;
• said linkage being configured to engage with one of said first portion and said second portion of said support profile structure of said first wall element to operatively connect said door closer drive with said the door upon said wall elements being in the closed position, to form partition for the space of the building, to enable said door closer to pivot said door from a closed position of said door to an open position of said door;
• and
• said support profile structure of said first wall element being configured to disengage from and be disposed a distance from said linkage upon said first wall element being moved from said closed position of said wall elements.
