moving/movable partition

Explanation:
Would need to know a bit more about the partition to determine if this term is anywhere near correct, but 'moving' or 'movable' partion is often one way of translating 'meeloop' or 'meelopend'.

Others ways of translating 'meeloop' or 'meelopend' -- but not necessarily in this context -- include 'trailer', 'follower' and 'tracking'.

'Trailing partition' might be an option, even if that is rather confusing in the context of trailers. See the following reference, for example!
