The dwelling also includes a displacement assembly operatively connectable to the at least one dividing module for displacing said at least one dividing module about the floor surface. The dwelling also includes a controlling assembly operatively disposed between the at least one dividing module and the displacement assembly for allowing a user of the dwelling to selectively and adjustably position the at least one dividing module with respect to the floor surface of the dwelling, and in turn to selectively and adjustably vary a corresponding layout of the two separate living spaces delimited by the at least one dividing module, in response to a given input of the user and depending on a desired configuration by said user of the dwelling.

A moveable wall system and components therefore, including: 1. A flexible power connector configured to flex in only one direction whereby it can be pushed without buckling; 2. at least one wireless power transmission receiving station in one or more of the moveable wall and modular units mounted thereon, for receiving the wireless transmission of power and enable one to charge electronic devices and provide power to power receiving lamps or the like, without the need for plug-in electrical wiring; 3. an overhead track system for supporting the moveable wall laterally below at least two spaced parallel tracks, the wall including a core support member having at least two spaced frame members secured to the top of said core support and projecting laterally to either or both sides of core support, each including a pair of trolleys for suspending said moveable wall in said parallel overhead tracks, projecting upwardly from its respective frame member and engaging their respective track.

A system for reversibly providing a wall, comprising: a first panel comprising first track followers on each of opposite side edges of the first panel; a first pair of tracks adapted to receive the first track followers and that are generally vertical on opposite sides of a space, each comprising: a top at a point overhead, and a lower point part-way to the floor of the space; a second panel comprising: upper second track followers on sides of the second panel near a top edge of the second panel, and lower second track followers on sides of the second panel near a bottom edge of the second panel; wherein, as the first panel is lowered, the first track followers ride in one of the first pair of tracks until at least one first track follower reaches the bottom of the one of the first pair of tracks, thus allowing the first panel, when lowered, to form a first portion of the wall; a second panel comprising: upper second track followers on each of opposite side edges of the first panel proximate to a top edge of the second panel, lower second track followers on each of opposite side edges of the first panel proximate to a bottom edge of the second panel; a second pair of tracks that are generally vertical on opposite sides of the space to be divided and generally parallel to the first set of tracks, each comprising: a top at a point overhead, a junction where a spur track separates from the second track, a spur track at a point part-way to the floor that angles over from the second pair of tracks to a point below and in vertical alignment the first pair of tracks, a bottom at a point at or above the floor, wherein the lower second track follower interacts with the toggle switch, as the second panel is lowered, to move the toggle switch from a first position to a second position, and wherein the lower second track follower interact with the toggle switch, as the second panel is raised, to move the toggle switch from the second position to the first position; wherein the toggle switch, when in the second position, diverts the upper second track follower from the second pair of tracks into the spur; wherein the bottom of the second track is in vertical alignment with the first track; wherein, as the second panel is lowered, the lower second track followers reach the bottom of the second pair of tracks and the upper second track followers reach the bottom of the spur, thus allowing the second panel, when lowered, to form a second portion of the wall; and a toggle switch at the junction of the second track having a first position such that a track follower in the second track will continue past the junction remaining in the second track and will move the toggle to

A movable wall panel system is disclosed. The movable wall panel system may include at least one monitoring system to monitor at least one area adjacent the movable wall panel system. The movable wall panel system may include a touch screen as part of an operator interface.

A roll-up wall system including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first roller disposed in the frame, a second roller disposed in the frame, and a tube disposed in the frame. A screen may be connected to the tube. The screen may be supported by the first roller and the second roller. Further, the screen may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the screen is rolled around the tube which is spaced a first distance from the first roller. In the second configuration, the screen forms a barrier adjacent the frame, and the tube is spaced a second distance from the first roller. The second distance may be less than the first distance. Also, the roll-up wall system may be an acoustic barrier which achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating ranging from approximately 31 STC to approximately 53 STC.

A deployable indoor shelter is disclosed that comprises a deployable shelter that forms a safe zone. When the shelter is withdrawn, it occupies substantially undisturbed indoor space and when the deployable shelter is deployed, the safe zone is confined within at least one wall of the indoor space and the deployable shelter.

A wall panel storage system includes a looped element and a motor for driving the looped element. A plurality of spacers are attached to the looped element with at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers being configured to fit vertically or be inserted between a pair of panels to move a panel of the pair of panels into or out of a storage area along a storage track when the motor drives the looped element.

A system for reversibly dividing a space is disclosed. Independent panels, with track followers attached to both narrow sides, move along parallel tracks. The panels start in an overhead storage space. The tracks are shaped such that as the panels move from the storage space into the space to be divided, one panel stops higher and the next panel slides down and then under the first panel. These panels preferably form a single-plane divider in the space.

A folding panel system that allows foldable panels, such as folding glass doors, to fold and move around segmented tracks. The system includes a trolley assembly. The trolley assembly can include a pair of dual roller assemblies spaced rigidly apart by a rigid guide member and supported by an overhead guide track. The rigid guide member is positioned outside of the guide track and moves lengthwise along the overhead guide track except between overhead linear track segments. A hinge extension is secured to and extends rigidly away from the rigid guide member vertically away from the guide track. This configuration holds the hinge extension at a constant angle with respect to the guide track. The hinge extension pivotably joins hinge leaves from adjacent panels hingedly joining the two panels.

A living space is disclosed including one or more adjustable or reconfigurable rooms. A room may be made reconfigurable by including fixed walls and a frame that is mounted to move in a first direction between a first position coextensive with the fixed walls and a second position that is extended relative to the fixed walls. The room may further include panels mounted in the frame configured to move in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, to seal off a front of the room. In examples, the panels may store against the frame when not in use.
