An apparatus and method of directionally controlling a movable partition includes providing at least one roller assembly (344) and a steering actuator (350), coupled therewith, to a portion of the partition. A controller (330) may be used to control the steering actuator (350) and thereby select, or change, the orientation of the roller assembly (344) with respect to the partition. In one embodiment, one or more sensors (346) may be used to determine the vertical orientation of the partition including whether the partition, or a section thereof, is substantially plumb. If the partition is substantially out of plumb, for example, if a lower edge of the partition is laterally displaced relative to an upper edge of the partition, the controller and steering actuator may cause the at least one roller assembly to direct the partition, or section thereof, in a particular direction until the partition, or section thereof, becomes substantially plumb.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant de commander la direction d'une cloison mobile, qui consistent notamment à fournir au moins un ensemble rouleau (344) couplé à un actionneur de direction (350), à une partie de la cloison. Une commande (330) peut servir à commander l'actionneur de direction (350) et, par conséquent, à choisir ou à modifier l'orientation de l'ensemble rouleau (344) par rapport à ladite cloison. Dans un mode de réalisation, au moins un capteur (346) peut servir à déterminer l'orientation verticale de la cloison et, notamment, si ladite cloison ou une section de celle-ci est sensiblement d'aplomb. Si ladite cloison n'est pas sensiblement d'aplomb, par exemple, si un bord inférieur de ladite cloison est latéralement déplacé par rapport à un bord supérieur de celle-ci, la commande et l'actionneur de direction peuvent amener les ensembles rouleaux à orienter la cloison, ou une section de celle-ci, dans une direction donnée jusqu'à ce que ladite cloison ou section de celle-ci soit sensiblement d'aplomb.
