Movable partitions and protective clips for movable partitions

A movable partition comprising a collapsible door for installation in a building to partition a space within the building, the movable partition comprising:

• a plurality of panels, each panel having a front major surface and being hingedly coupled to an adjacent panel of the plurality of panels, each panel of the plurality of panels having a lateral width across the front major surface thereof;
• a plurality of hinge members, each hinge member of the plurality of hinge member hingedly coupling adjacent panels of the plurality of panels, each hinge member of the plurality of hinge members having a lateral width, such that the lateral width of each panel is greater than the lateral width of each hinge member;
• a plurality of protective clips coupled to respective panels of the plurality of panels, each protective clip of the plurality of protective clip comprising:
• an elongated and generally planar base portion, the base portion abutting with at least one of a bottom surface of a respective panel and a top surface of the respective panel;
• and
• a guard portion protruding from the base portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion, the guard portion covering at least a portion of the front major surface of the respective panel adjacent to at least one of the bottom surface of the at least one panel and the top surface of the respective panel, at least a portion of the guard portion extending in a direction at least substantially transverse to a longitudinal length of the protective clip and extending across only a portion of a side surface of the respective panel;
• and
• a sweep attached to at least two protective clips of the plurality of protective clips, the sweep configured and positioned to extend away from at least one of the bottom surface of the respective panels and the top surface of the respective panels.

A movable partition comprising a collapsible door for installation in a building to partition a space within the building, the movable partition comprising:

• a plurality of panels, each panel being hingedly coupled to an adjacent panel of the plurality of panels;
• at least one protective clip coupled to at least one panel of the plurality of panels, the at least one protective clip comprising:
• an elongated and generally planar base portion, a top major surface of the base portion abutting with at least one of a bottom surface of the at least one panel and a top surface of the at least one panel;
• a guard portion protruding from the top major surface of the base portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion, the guard portion positioned to extend along a front major surface of the at least one panel and around at least one corner of the at least one panel defined by an intersection between the front major surface of the at least one panel and a side surface of the at least one panel, a majority of a side surface of the base portion being planar and perpendicular to the front major surface of the at least one panel when the at least one protective clip is coupled to the at least one panel, and the guard portion further positioned to extend along only a portion of the side surface of the at least one panel;
• and
• a back portion protruding from the top major surface of the base portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion at a back major surface of the at least one panel adjacent to the at least one of the bottom surface of the at least one panel and the top surface of the at least one panel, the back major surface of the at least one panel opposite the front major surface of the at least one panel;
• and
• a sweep strip attached to the back portion of the protective clip and extending along the back major surface of the at least one panel in an outward direction at least substantially perpendicular to the base portion of the protective clip and at least substantially parallel to and along the back major surface of the at least one panel.
