Abstract
An apparatus having at least one environmentally controllable chamber with an opening includes a chamber opening covering having at least one expandable portion that is expandable into the chamber when the covering is in a closed position. A chamber opening covering actuator enables movement of the covering between at least one open position and a closed position relative to the opening. The open position of the chamber opening covering allows at least partial access to the chamber through the opening.
