MODULAR, ROLL-DOWN AIRFLOW CONTROL APPARATUS
A modular roll down airflow control apparatus for use in typically refrigerated and insulated truck or transport vehicle boxes. The modular roll down airflow control apparatus includes a curtain assembly, a mandrel assembly (upon which the curtain assembly may be wound under spring bias), a pair of brackets (coupled to a wall near a ceiling of a truck box or cargo compartment that support the mandrel assembly), locking brackets (coupled to a wall near a floor of a truck box or cargo compartment that hold the curtain assembly down by engaging rods disposed in the curtain at intervals), and a plurality of edging seals (that may be coupled to the side walls of the cargo compartment and the curtain edges press against to form a seal). Air pressure in the cargo box typically acts to advantageously press the curtain edges against the edging seals forming a seal to prevent the escape of cold air and maintain a refrigerated space in the cargo compartment.
