  • One or preferably both of the guideways is/ are preferably formed between two facing "L" shaped members.
  • the locking member in the closure preferably comprises a locking bolt which is slidably carried by the vertical guideway.
  • the locking bolt preferably comprises a rectangular body which is slidable in the guideway and a preferably aligned robust pin carried by the body.

  • the frame 112 is mounted in an aperture in a wall (not shown) between two parallel vertical planes indicated at 120 and 122 in Figure 3.
  • a series of parallel horizontal louvres (also known as “slats”) 124 extend between and are carried by the vertical carrier members 114 to span the space surrounded by the frame 112.
  • the louvres 124 are hollow aluminium extrusions (as shown in Figure 4). Each comprises, in section, a wide transverse slightly convex upper surface 128 and a conversely similar lower surface 130. The upper and lower surfaces 128 and 130 are joined at their sides by short side parts 132 and 134. A pair of spaced central walls 135 extend between the upper and lower surfaces 128 and 130 to reinforce the louvre 124. At each end, each louvre 124 has a plastic end cap 136 secured thereto by two screws 138 which engage partially circular paths 139 formed by the louvre 124 near the side parts.
  • the end caps 136 each have a projecting central axial pin 140 which fits into a bush 141 (shown partially in Figures 6 and 7) in the adjacent carrier member 114 so as to be able to pivot thereabout.
  • the louvres 124 pivot about the bushes 141 from an open position to a closed position. In the open position (as shown in Figure 3) the upper and lower surfaces 128 and 130 are substantially horizontal. In the closed position (shown in Figure 2) the louvres 124 cover the said space between the frame 112. In this position the lower side 134 of each louvre 124 overlies the upper side edge 132 of the louvre therebelow (as shown in Figure 2).
  • a connector rod 142 is pivotally connected to the inner sides 132 of the louvres 124 so that the louvres 124 remain parallel when pivoted about their axes.
  • each louvre 124 On the inside of the upper surface 128 of each louvre 124 near its rear end the extrusion is formed with a pair of facing "L"-shaped projections 144 and 146 (shown in Figure 4) which form a guideway 148.
  • a bolt member 150 (see Figure 6) of rectangular section is slidably mounted in the guideway 148.
  • a short slot 152 is formed in the upper surface above the guideway 148.
  • a pin 154 passes through the slot 152 and threadedly engages the bolt member 150.
  • the pin 154 has a cylindrical head 156 outside the upper surface 128.
  • the head 156 has a ribbed outside surface so that it can conveniently be gripped to manipulate the head 154 and to serve as moving means to move the bolt member 150 in the guideway 148.
  • the location and lengths of the slot 152 and the bolt member 150 are such that the bolt member 150 can move between (i) a withdrawn position in which it is within the louvre 124 and (ii) a projecting position in which it projects from the end of the louvre 124 and the plastic closure member 136 and (iii) vice versa.
  • the adjacent carrier member 114 has an opening 158 therein (best shown in Figure 6). When the louvres 124 are in the closed position the guideway 148 will be adjacent the opening 158. When the bolt member 150 is moved by the moving means into the projecting position, it, the bolt member 150, engages in the opening 158 to lock the louvre 124 in the closed position. As will be apparent the connector rod 142 will hold all the other louvres 124 in the closed position. Thus the shutter 110 will be locked in the closed position.
  • FIG. 9 and 10 there is shown a multi-shutter closure 160 comprising three shutters 162, 164 and 166 which are aligned when the closure is in the closed condition.
  • the outer carrier 168 of the inner shutter 162 is hingedly connected to the inner carrier member 170 of the middle shutter 164.
  • the outer carrier member 172 of the middle shutter 164 is hingedly connected to the inner carrier member 174 of the outer shutter 166.
  • the inner carrier member 176 of the inner shutter 162 is pivotally mounted on a fixed member 178 which can be a support fixed to a wall.
  • the outer carrier member 180 of the outer shutter 166 is an extrusion. Internally near the bottom end of the carrier member 180 is a guideway formed by a pair of facing "L" shaped members 181 (see Figure 15). A locking member 182 (see Figure 14) is provided. It has an elongated rectangular section body 183 which is slidable in the guideway. The body 183 carries a parallel locking pin 186 projecting forwardly of it. Above the guideway is an elongated slot 188 (see Figures 12 and 13) in the rear wall 190 of the carrier member 180. At its inner and outer ends the slot 188 has circular enlargements 191 and 192 in the wall 190. These enlargements 191 and 192 each have a coaxial lower portion 194 (see

Abstract

L'invention concerne un volet de style plantation comprenant des lamelles creuses reliées pour se déplacer ensemble. Une des lamelles a un trajet de guidage interne dans lequel un élément de verrouillage est monté coulissant. Lorsque les lamelles sont dans la position fermée, l'élément de verrouillage peut être déplacé vers une position en saillie dans laquelle il pénètre dans une ouverture dans un élément de châssis pour empêcher le déplacement des lamelles. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le volet fait partie d'une fermeture et un élément de châssis comprend un trajet de guidage interne contenant un élément de verrouillage monté coulissant qui, lorsque le volet est dans la position fermée, peut venir en prise avec une ouverture dans le plancher pour empêcher le déplacement du volet depuis la position fermée.
