Storm panel assembly for covering a window or door opening

A storm panel assembly adapted to cover a window or door opening in a building, said panel assembly comprising

• at least three elongated panels of substantially rigid sheet material and including an outer center panel between two inner side panels,
• each of said panels having a plurality of longitudinally extending and parallel spaced ribs forming a corrugated cross-sectional configuration,
• each of said panels having an upper end portion and a lower end portion and longitudinally extending co-planar opposite edge portions,
• an elongated support member for each said panel and attached to each of said opposite edge portions of each said panel adjacent said upper end portion of said panel,
• each said support member having a hook portion with end surfaces recessed laterally inwardly from longitudinal edge surfaces of the corresponding said panel to provide for overlapping said longitudinal edge portions of adjacent said panels,
• said hook portions of said support members on said panels adapted to engage a hook-shaped support rail mounted on the building, and
• said longitudinal edge portions of said outer center panel overlapping adjacent said edge portions of said two inner side panels.

A storm panel assembly adapted to cover a window or door opening in a building, said panel assembly comprising

• at least one elongated panel having a substantially uniform thickness and a plurality of longitudinally extending and parallel spaced ribs forming a corrugated cross-sectional configuration,
• said panel having an upper end portion and a lower end portion and longitudinally extending co-planar opposite edge portions,
• a support member mounted on said upper end portion of said panel and attached to each of said opposite edge portions of said panel,
• said support member including an upper hook portion adapted to engage a hook-shaped support rail mounted on the building,
• a support bracket for said lower end portion of said panel and adapted to be mounted on the building with said bracket including a flange portion projecting outwardly under said panel,
• a track member secured to said lower end portion of said panel and receiving said flange portion of said bracket, and
• a plurality of pull pins located within said ribs of said panel and extending through aligned holes within said track member and said flange portion of said bracket to provide for rapidly removing said panel through the opening from within the building.
