Abstract
A shutter of the type comprising a plurality of slats, each in turn comprising a wing movable between a closed position and an opening position in which it is inclined, generally outwards, with respect to the vertical direction, so as to allow the passage of air between the slats is provided. The rolling shutter improves the alignment of the slats in order to avoid their warping during the step of ascent and descent of the shutter, thus improving the closure of the slats themselves.
Claims20
A rolling shutter of the type comprising a plurality of fixed slats and a plurality of movable wings arranged alternately between them to make a shutter or roller shutter movable between a roller wound configuration, an extended configuration of total closure in which said movable wings are closed and arranged in a substantially vertical position and an extended configuration with said movable wings rotated with respect to the vertical direction so as to realize a passage for air between said movable wing and the subsequent fixed slat characterized in that it further comprises at least one movable connection element which is associated, at a first upper end thereof folded hook-like toward the front face of the movable wing with one of said movable wings and configured to fit into a corresponding receiving seat formed at an upper edge of the body of said movable wing realizing a first point of engagement and rotation of said movable connection with respect to said wing, said movable connection element being further associated with a lower fixed slat at a second lower end thereof constituting a second point of engagement and rotation of said movable connection element, wherein said seat results, with respect to a vertical axis passing through the centre of rotation of said movable wing with respect to said fixed slat offset by a distance with respect to the centre of rotation of said second lower end housed within a subsequent fixed slat.
