Abstract

The wall panel (12) has channel-shaped opposed frame members (26) and at least one spring-biassed seal assembly (31, 32) adapted to move outwardly or inwardly of an edge of the panel. A seal-actuating mechanism (30 min ) includes a rotatable shaft (33) mounted between the opposed frame members with an operator member (36) including pivot lever latch means mounted on each end. At least one tension member (40) has one end coupled to the pivot lever means, and the other end coupled to the edge seal assembly so that when the shaft (33) is rotated the seal assembly is shifted respectively from an extended position to its retracted position. Rotation of the shaft (33) to retract the seal assembly (31, 32) causes the pivot-lever latch means to move into an over-centre, latching condition. The operator members, latch means and tension members are all accommodated in the frame channels and may therefore be installed, replaced or removed without removing the panel facing (24).
