  • Publication number: 20080034661
    Abstract: A shutter device for covering windows; which incorporates two panels. Each panel has clear and printed areas which are digitized with an image. When the shutters are moved in the open position, the images merge and the images of the two shutters appear back to back. When the shutters are moved in the opposite direction closed, the image from both shutters is visible. In addition to providing aesthetic appeal of the merging image, the shutter provides and blocks vision though the shutter as one panel is moved with respect to the other. The shutter device is adaptable to semicircular, circular and rectangular windows. The shutter utilizes two panels mounted on the inside of a frame; one of the panels is moveable. The panels are of a clear material, such as glass or plastic, each panel has alternate clear and printed areas.
