  • Extended reach shutter manipulating device
    Patent number: 12030173
    Abstract: An extended reach shutter manipulating device for tilting louvers of a shutter includes a pole, a clamp, and an actuator. The clamp and the actuator are engaged to a first end and a second end of the pole, respectively. The actuator is operationally engaged to the clamp. The pole is grasped in a hand of a user proximate to the second end, positioning the user to position the clamp so that the clamp brackets a tilt rod of a shutter. The actuator can be selectively manipulated by the hand of the user so that the actuator closes the clamp on the tilt rod, positioning the user to selectively tilt louvers of the shutter.
