Abstract: A shutter system is disclosed which is unitized in a single rectangular frame or bracket with a window or door for use in a building opening that includes a plurality of shutter plates that can be folded and unfolded, each of the shutter plates having a hinged joint with adjoining shutter plates. The shutter assembly shields an enclosure from environmental elements. The rectangular bracket has guide members with tracks for guiding the shutter plates using extensions with rollers from each of the hinged joints to cooperate with the guide members. In one embodiment, the moveable flat plats slides behind the stationary flat plats. In another embodiment, the moveable flat plats are collected at one side of the rectangular frame providing maximum opening of the enclosure.

The shutter assembly efficiently excludes unwanted light and dust from entering the enclosure while helping control of temperature within the enclosure. In one embodiment, the moveable flat plats slides behind the stationary flat plats. In furtherance of the present embodiment, the opening and closing of the shutter assembly takes place in a single plane. In another embodiment, the moveable flat plats wraps around the stationary flat plats when the shutter assembly is in its open position. In either of the embodiments neither moveable flat plats nor stationary flat plats extend inside the enclosure.
