Storm shutter system

A shutter assembly for building openings, comprising:

• A) a frame assembly including first and second elongated structural members kept at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other, and each including a coextensive supporting surface;
• B) a plurality of articulated longitudinal blade assemblies each including a panel member with first and second longitudinal ends and first and second lateral ends, each of said first longitudinal ends including a longitudinal outer socket fold with first and second arched arms, and each of said second longitudinal ends including a longitudinal inner fold journaled within said first and second arms of a longitudinal outer socket fold of a contiguous blade assembly, and said longitudinal inner fold including a longitudinal external stopper protrusion having a first longitudinal bay for receiving said first arched arm when contiguous articulated blade assemblies are brought to the same plane, and said panel member including at least one longitudinal reinforcement fold that coacts with said supporting surface at said lateral ends so that any load applied to said blade assemblies is transmitted through said reinforcement folds to said coextensive supporting surfaces of said frame assembly;
• and
• C) means for guiding said articulated blade assemblies within said frame assembly so that said articulated blade assemblies can be selectively moved between two extreme positions to open and close said building openings.
