Fixing arrangement for shutter blades

A fastening arrangement for supporting a louver slat on a facade, the facade having at least two parallel grooves extending perpendicularly to the louver slat, comprising:

• a plurality of brackets, each bracket for supporting a portion of the louver slat and being adapted to be received in and selectively positioned along a respective groove, and each bracket comprising:
• a first leg;
• a second leg connected to the first leg and projecting at an angle from the first leg, the first and second legs being adapted to hold a portion of the louver slat;
• a filler piece projecting beyond one end of the first leg;
• and
• means for infinitely adjusting the bracket along the the groove comprisng a pair of spaced members attached to the first leg and adapted to be received in the groove, the spaced members being adapted to be displaced away from one another when the filler piece of a contiguous bracket is inserted therebetween, whereby the spaced members, when displaced, compressively engage the sides of the groove and thereby hold the bracket at a desired location along the groove.
