Abstract: A folding grille assembly to be used to close an opening in a narrow wall. The grill assembly has a pocket and a folding grille. The pocket is adapted to be mounted on one side of the opening aligned with the wall and forming part of the wall. The folding grille has a plurality of narrow, vertical, panels, the panels hingedly joined together in serial fashion by vertical hinges. Every second panel only carries a vertical mounting rod at its top end extending up from the top, center of the panel, and every second mounting rod only carries a trolley by means of which the grille can be movably supported at the top of the opening. The pocket forms a receptacle for the grille when the grille is folded to open the opening. The invention also covers the pocket and the folding grill.

Abstract: A rolling grille having a set of horizontal bars, the bar set divided into a lower bar sub-set with a top bar and an upper bar sub-set with a bottom bar. The grille has a row of end plates on each side, the end plates joining the ends of the bars in both bar sub-sets together. Each end plate joins two adjacent bare together, each bar connected to two adjacent plates, the plates aligned when the grille closes an opening. Each end plate has a panel with an inner surface facing inwardly when the grille closes the opening. Bar mounting sections are provided at the top and bottom of each panel. At least one of the top and bottom bar mounting sections in the plates in the lower bar sub-set have a flange comber located to abut on the inner surface of the panel of an adjacent plate when the grille closes an opening. The flange member flange forms the lower bar sub-set into a relatively rigid assembly when an attempt is made to raise the lower sub-set.
