Filed:

Appl. No.:
10/237304
Inventors:
Humayoun Farooq - Miami FL, US
International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
A rolling shutter assembly includes a plurality of interconnecting metal slats each having a front face, a rear face, and opposite end zones. The end zones travel within respective tracks which mount to a wall structure on opposite sides of a window or door of a building structure. Parallel, transversely extending slots cut into the front and rear faces of the slats, at the opposite end zones thereof, are keyed to inwardly directed fins within the respective tracks to allow sliding movement of the end zones along the tracks while preventing jamming or disengagement of the slats from the tracks. Various mounting brackets are provided for mounting the tracks to the building wall structure to accommodate different installation requirements.
