  • Patent number: 5373677
    Abstract: A shutter assembly is provided which includes a body portion and separate top and bottom caps. The length of the shutter is adjusted by sliding the caps so they cover more or less of the shutter body. The caps and body portion are then screwed to a building wall. The inside surfaces of the caps include grooves which mate with the outside surface of the sides of the shutter body. This keeps the caps aligned with the shutter body as the length is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5347782
    Abstract: A shutter assembly is provided which includes a body portion and separate top and bottom caps. The length of the shutter is adjusted by sliding the caps so they cover more or less of the shutter body. The caps and body portion are then screwed to a building wall. The length of the shutter assembly can also be adjusted by cutting upper and lower portions of this body portion of the shutter. The cut is then covered by preformed caps which fit over the shutter body portion, thus totally concealing the cut. Thus, the shutter can be adjusted at the job site and the end caps will assure the quality of the end product.
