Shutter anchorage system

A corner anchorage device for supporting adjacent co-planar flat cover members, having a plurality of through holes, to be used in protecting openings of building structures having rectangular corners, comprising:

• A. first corner stepped-plate means having a first flat anchorage section, a first step wall and a flat supporting section, said first flat anchorage section includes two first co-planar flat ear members perpendicular to each other, said flat ear members include each at least one hole, and said first step wall keeps the respective planes of said first flat anchorage section and said first flat supporting section at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to each other, and said first flat supporting section having at least one hole;
• B. second corner stepped-plate means having a second flat anchorage section, a second step wall and a second flat supporting section, said second flat anchorage section includes two second co-planar flat ear members perpendicular to each other and said second step wall keeps the respective planes of said second flat anchorage section and said second supporting section at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to each other, and said second flat anchorage having at least one opening and said second flat supporting section having at least one hole and wherein said second step wall being larger than said first step wall so that the planes of said first and second flat supporting sections are sufficiently separated to cooperatively receive said flat cover member when said first and second side stepped-plate means are cooperatively brought against each other;
• C. first fastening means cooperatively received by the openings in said first and second ear members and said first fastening means being removably mountable to said building structures in an area adjacent to the opening being protected;
• and
• D. second fastening means cooperatively received by the holes in said first and second flat supporting sections and adapted to be received by the through holes in said flat cover member thereby urging said first and second flat supporting sections towards each other.

A side anchorage device for supporting flat cover members, having a plurality of through holes, to be used in protecting openings of building structures, comprising:

• A. plate means having a first flat anchorage section and a flat supporting section, and said first flat anchorage section having at least one opening and said first flat supporting section having at least one hole;
• B. side stepped-plate means having a second flat anchorage section a step-wall and a second flat supporting section, and said second step wall keeps the respective planes of said second flat anchorage section and said second supporting section at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to each other, and said second flat anchorage having at least one opening and said second flat supporting section having at least one hole and wherein said step wall being sufficiently large so that the planes of said first and second flat supporting sections are sufficiently separated to cooperatively receive said flat cover member when said side plate means and said side stepped-plate means are cooperatively brought against each other;
• C. first fastening means cooperatively received by the openings in said first and second flat anchorage sections and said first fastening means being removably mountable to said building structures in an area adjacent to the opening being protected;
• and
• D. second fastening means cooperatively received by the holes in said first and second flat supporting sections and adapted to be received by the through holes in said flat cover member thereby urging said first and second flat supporting sections towards each other.

A corner anchorage device for supporting flat cover members, having a plurality of through holes, to be used in protecting openings of building structures having rectangular corners, comprising:

• A. corner plate means having a first flat anchorage section and a flat supporting section, said first flat anchorage section includes two first co-planar flat ear members perpendicular to each other, said flat ear members include each at least one hole, and said first flat supporting section having at least one hole;
• B. corner stepped-plate means having a second flat anchorage section, a step wall and a second flat supporting section, said second flat anchorage section includes two second co-planar flat ear members perpendicular to each other and said second step wall keeps the respective planes of said second flat anchorage section and said second supporting section at a spaced apart and parallel relationship with respect to each other, and said second flat anchorage having at least one opening and said second flat supporting section having at least one hole and wherein said step wall being sufficiently large so that the planes of said first and second flat supporting sections are sufficiently separated to cooperatively receive said flat cover member when said corner plate means and said corner stepped-plate means are cooperatively brought against each other;
• C. first fastening means cooperatively received by the openings in said first and second ear members and said first fastening means being removably mountable to said building structures in an area adjacent to the opening being protected;
• and
• D. second fastening means cooperatively received by the holes in said first and second flat supporting sections and adapted to be received by the through holes in said flat cover member thereby urging said first and second flat supporting sections towards each other.
